Thanks for the giveaway! :) I would prefer the yarn.
ReplyDeleteI just found out about this wonderful day from following another blogger. If I had to rank your prize giveaways (and trust me, I like both), it would be: 1. yarn 2. stitch markers. Thanks for offering both of these great products!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely giveaway. I love the look of that yarn - that would be my first choice.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your blog!
I can see myself entering a lot of giveaways today!
ReplyDeleteI would like to win the stitch markers - I'll be starting "proper" knitting in a couple of months, but only have crochet stitch markers, which are not going to be much use on the knitting needles! I like most of your designs, but I think my favourite is the multi-coloured balls. And the pigs. And the sheep..
(contact me on tinks (at) tinksworld (dot) org)
I'm drooling over that yarn. It's delicious.
ReplyDeleteSo Yarn first, then the stitch markers.
Great giveaway! Please count me in!
ReplyDeleteThat cat is possibly the cutest stitchmarker ever! I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous gift. I cross my fingers and hope to win.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Sol in Norway
What a fun giveaway! My first preference to win would be the yarn/wool - second the stitchmarker. And if I win that I would love the shoes. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
You are welcome to enter my giveaway, too. You can win a set of costum-made buttons! :-)

I spin, but I love others hand spun as well. I don't think I want the stitch markers, I have only ever used Bobby Pins for that and I think I will stick with them. I don't like change.
