One Year Giveaway!

Please note: As of June 30, 2010, the Contest is now closed!!!! No more entries are being accepted. Thanks to all who entered!

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!

The winner will receive the following:

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

Two skeins of the new Sweater colors (1 skein of each): Cider and Grape Jelly.

Two skeins of the new Fine colors (1 skein each): Shitake and Red Hot

2 Spud & Chloë postcards (I use these for bookmarks!).

7 new patterns! A complete set of the new patterns just released at TNNA: Popsicle Socks, Uplander Pullover, Buga Baby Bunting, Lucky Number Pullover, Flower Power Throw, Pack o Puppies, Buckhill Pullover. To take a closer look at these patterns click here!

A Spud & Chloë pattern box! Remember I did a video tutorial on how to fold the box. Click here to see it.

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?

Okay, let’s get to it! Leave a comment on this post to say hello. That’s it. You are now entered. Please leave in your comment an identifying something like you name, location, email address, ravelry username, etc. Some sort of something so I can get in touch with you in the case that you win. One entry per person, please. In a few days, not sure exactly when, I will randomly select a winning comment and then I will post about it right here. Please check back to see if you have won. The winner will need to email me or message me with their mailing address.

Have fun! I am so excited to be able to offer this terrific prize package! Go for it! Thanks again for a great year (said as I am wiping grateful tears from my cheeks).
