Yarn Giveaway: A Rose By Any Other Name

From time to time I have little leftovers from my shop, or I find a bargain that’s just too good to pass up. Since everyone is being thrifty these days (and as a shameless way to get feedback), I’m going to offer some of these goodies to you guys!

Here’s how the Giveaways will work:
I post with the yarn (or other goodies) that are available. I tell you how to get your name into the drawing pool and when the drawing will happen. Everyone’s name goes into a numbered list. You can be on the list multiple times if you get bonus entries. I will randomly select a winner using a random number generator and announce the winner in a new post. Winner emails me their mailing address and I mail the yarn to them! (Because I’m paying for postage, I can only extend this offer to US and Canada residents.) Simple, right?

So let’s see how well it works. Here’s the first one:

60 grams of hand painted Creme de Luxe yarn in the color “A Rose By Any Other Name.” This yarn is sport weight and 50% Alpaca, 30% Fine Merino Wool, and 20% Silk.

Isn’t it pretty? To enter your name, comment on this post telling me how you found my blog/store. (ON THE BLOG, LJ cross-post readers. YOU MUST COMMENT ON THE BLOG SITE.) You get a bonus entry for anyone who found this site through you, so make sure they mention your name in their comment! (If you have a common name, please include an initial or use an alias.) Also please read the Rules!

Winner will be selected Tuesday, July 27, one week from the date of this post as long as there is at least one entry!
