Hi Knitters,
I had the pleasure of getting together with my Spud & Chloë cohort and the owner of the company last weekend. We always have a great time together. We talked about new ideas, new projects, new yarns and the fact that Spud & Chloë has now been officially around for one year! Last June of 2009 Spud & Chloë products and this blog and website all debuted at TNNA. It has been a successful whirlwind of a year and we want to thank you for all of the support. Starting a new yarn and product line is no easy venture and we are beyond thrilled at the quick and enduring support from the knitters, crocheters and shop owners.
The other personal thank you I want extend is to all of the Spud says! subscribers and readers, the Spud & Chloë Twitter followers, the Friends of Spud & Chloë Ravelry group members, the new Spud & Chloë Facebook friends. You have made this year extraordinary and fun. I am so honored to get to put this blog together with the posts and the free patterns. I absolutely have loved every minute of it. I have people thanking me all of the time for the free pattern designs and you are so welcome. In reality, the people to thank for this blog is the Spud & Chloë company who has given me this fantastic opportunity and the venue to post and make the free patterns available to you. I think at least four of the free Spud & Chloë patterns have made it to the top 20 new and popular designs on the Ravelry Pattern page throughout this last year, which is a huge honor. This once again is due to all of you!
Thank you (the big giant kind with a big sloppy kiss)! Luckily for you the owner of Spud & Chloë likes a good giveaway as much as I do! Now, on to the fun giveaway prize we’ve gathered up for you. See that big pile of goodness in the above photo? Well, that’s for one lucky winner. Let me break it down for you!

Three skeins of the new Outer colors (1 skein of each): Rocket, Sandbox, Hedge.

One trusty Spud & Chloë pencil bag.
One brand new Spud & Chloë reversible canvas tote bag!!! This is my new favorite bag. It fits on your shoulder and has a sturdy snap closure. These are not for retail but were used for promotional purposes so this is a huge get!
This is the inside of the bag! You will love this bag, I guarantee it.
This is the close-up of the S & C fabric print. Isn’t it the sweetest?

Happy Birthday Spud & Chloe! Love your yarns and colors and patterns, and everything else (how cute is that logo?) MadMartiKnits on rav.
Hey Happy Anniversary!! You have awesome yarns, I’m looking forward to many more anniversaries for you!!
I knitted my son so many beenies when he was in middle school and know they are worn out or “borrowed by his” friends! I love this yarn and would love to knit him a new beenie!
Wow – what great patterns! I was just introduced to you through our yarn shop in Kent and can’t wait to knit the new baby bunting for my girlfriend! It’s great to find a great new ‘fix’ for my addiction – and even better when the company behind it is as great as yours seems to be
How fun is this!!!! This yarn is gorgeous. Love your patterns and love you.
I bought my first skein of S&C on sale while vacationing as ‘souvenir yarn’. I had no idea!
Would just love to win this stuff, just because of that!
Hmmm, yummy yarns. How about calling your new hat ‘Chilli Popper’?

excellent site, patterns and inspiration.
Happy 1st Birthday. I’m just looking for a reason (and a recipient) to make the 3 polar bears.
Susan, I just love all the fun stuff you come up with for the yummy S&C yarns. They always make me want to run right out and buy some so I can cast on, and now that we have S&C in Madison, I can do that!
Keep up the inspiring work.
