'20 000 Page Views' A Thank You 'Give Away'


I made my mind up that 20 000 page views was going to be worthy of a celebratory Give-Away.  I can not believe I have had over 20 000 page views that seems an awful lot to me!  I would like to thank you,  'Blog readers' from all corners of the Globe.  78 countries to be precise.  It all blows my mind.  I think Blogs are a fantastic way of communicating with each other and I value and enjoy each one of your comments.  I have also made some great Blog Buddies who I love to visit in Cyberspace.  I have learned so much from other peoples blogs and they inspire me to experiment with new skills, crafts and ideas.  All this in just six months of blogging.  You are all Ace.  
The Give Away Prize is this nifty little book containing patterns for crochet socks.
(My Crochet Sock Blog post for anyone that may be interested.)
I loved making my socks but found a distinct shortage of crochet sock patterns.  I bought a copy of this book for myself, when I was looking through it I found myself thinking my Blog Buddies would like this book so I ordered another copy and hatched the give away plan.
If you can Picture yourself glowing with pride, wearing a Pair of hand crocheted socks, made by your own fair hand, then this is the 'Give Away' for you.  All you need to do is leave me a comment by the 17th June and I will pick a lucky winner at random.  I will announce the winner on the 18th of June.

    Now that looks like a book you could really fall in love with.

  24. That's a lovely generous thing to do! Looks like a great book. Wonderfully cosy toes for winter! If I won the book, I'd have to start straight away so they were ready for the cold weather, and of course I'd have to make a pair for everyone in the family! Well done for attracting so many to your fab blog! Here's to the next 20,000!! Love the patterns and impressed with the garden produce! My garden is just starting up - lots of 'berried' treasure - strawbs, blackcurrants, gooseberries - yum! Xx

  26. I don't crochet but several gals in my knitting circle do. They tried to crochet socks but they did't turn out too nice. Maybe they need this book.

    Congrats on 20,000 views!

  27. Congrats on the blog!

    I've always been envious of knitters, as I see socks being a knitters' kinds of pattern, and I can't knit to save my life... but I'd love to crochet some!

    Socks!!!! Yes Socks! Socks have been a vague shimmering oasis in the distance that everytime I try to reach them they turn into a mirage! Making socks seems to be the one task I struggle to conquer! With a book like this that stuggle would be made easier and I would make a pair of rainbow socks and then go dancing around my house in my socks....

  32. One of the first things I ever crocheted were socks and they were a bit of a disaster, this could definitely help! Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  33. It seems obvious now I think about it, but I'd never dreamt you might be able to crochet socks. But why not ? I'd love to try - how kind of you to give someone the chance to do so.

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts. Sadly I have found it necessary to enable word verification, something I was trying to avoid...but I am receiving an unmanageable deluge of Spam! We don't want that do we? xxx :)
