Celebratory 'Give Away'

I am giving away one copy of this book by Frida Ponten.  To celebrate finally reaching 100 followers.  (Hooray!)  I think it is a lovely book for beginners and more experienced crocheters alike.  I just love the title too.

I am sure if you like to crochet you will find this book a real treat.  I know the majority of my followers crochet.  If you are one of those 'strange sorts' and you don't crochet I will arrange a good old 'In The Sky' 'Tea and Biscuit' parcel for you.  If you can't find a home for 'Crochet For the Fun of It' or 'Tea and Biscuits' then you better not enter.
          I know lots of people are off on their Jollies and away from the Internet!  So the closing date for this 'Give Away' will be Midnight 3.9.11. (Edit to say 3rd September 2011 to avoid any across the pond confusion :)  The day I return from my 'Glamping' trip to Cornwall.  All you need to do to enter is leave me a comment on this post and let me know if you are a 'Crochet For The Fun Of It' kind of person or a 'Tea and Biscuit' kind of person.   Thank you all very much for reading.  I hope you are all having a good Summer.

  38. Happy to be one of your 100 blog friends! I’ve loved your blog from the first time I came here. It is so nice of you to have a celebration of this event! And yes, I am a crochet person, too, that was my first “wool-love”*, then got neglected for knitting but lately I see so beautiful designs and my to-crochet-list grows day by day. This beautiful book would help a lot here:)
    *As a kid, I think it must have been even pre-teen, I used to crochet doll- and teddy-clothes because I didn’t have to think about shaping beforehand or need a swatch because I could just go as I went on…

  39. Congratulations! And that book looks awesome, I hadn't seen it before, I'd love to win it.

  40. I love the colourful layout of your blog, and it feels so 'homey'
    Crocheting is a new skill to me but I work with a group of African village women who would LOVE the inspirational projects in a crochet book.

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 :)
