Because it’s Wednesday.
Because April is almost over.
Because Mother’s Day is coming up.
Because we’re so.close to buying our first home and I need to get rid of stuff!
Because I love you!

This is going be a big one. I have FIVE things in this giveaway. Three are things made specifically for this, and the other two been sitting in a plastic bin and that deserve a good home.

Clockwise from the top-left:

● Rusty orange lace scarflette. I knit it up last August and….never wore it. It was too hot when I first completed it, so I just put it away. Winter came and I just never got it out. I completely forgot! Read more about it here.
● Cassette wallet!
● Lime & gray yo-yo brooch
● “Precious metal” bookmark
not shown: custom pair of slippers! You can choose the style (Mary Jane; adorned; or basic), size, and colors.

There can only be one

THANK YOU ALL for your birthday wishes, yesterday. I was so excited every time I opened my inbox to see a new entry into the giveaway. No one wised me an un-happy birthday, so that’s good!

I was running a little bit late, this morning, and I didn’t have a chance to close the contest when my birthday ended (I went to bed and it was still my birthday, so I count all entries throughout the night), so I counted all entries until just a few minutes ago.

Now, the good news: a winner has been chosen!!

comment #5 is from Queta of Queta Knits! How awesome is it that a fellow knitter won?!

Queta, I sent you an email a little bit ago. Reply with your info and I’ll get right on mailing them out. CONGRATS, again!

Stick around, newcomers! I will be offering more giveaways throughout the year. One of my goals for my 26th year of life is to have one at least every other month. Perhaps Mother’s Day will behoove another slipper prize. Any other ideas are greatly welcomed! This was fun. Thanks again, everyone.

it’s my BIRTHDAY [giveaway]!

Wish me a happy birthday (or an unhappy birthday, if that’s your thang; I don’t want to make you do anything you don’t want to) and you could win a lovely pair of Mary Jane slippers, crocheted by me! Choose between the two above*, -OR- if you absolutely loathe those colors, don’t have a mom/wife/friend who would like them, have tiny feet, and/or want to mess with me, I’ll crochet a custom pair. I’m a nice person and I kinda love you blog readers/random clickers.

Go forth and comment! 1 entry per person, pretty please. You can tweet about it, post it to your wall, talk about it in your blog, etc. The more the merrier! Contest ends when my birthday ends. I’ll post the winner on Monday morning.

*Slipper details: both are 100% acrylic. The yellow pair is made with some vintage yarn that has been in my stash for what feels like years. They should fit up to a size 9.5 (my size thanks to two awesome pregnancies), but are only about 9.5″ long, which is equivalent to a 7.5 in women’s shoes. What I’m trying to say is: they’re stretchy!
