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.
oooooh exciting Crocheted socks!
ReplyDeleteHaving just knitted my first pair of socks I'd love to give crochet ones a try!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 20,000 page views too!
I am not known for my selfish streak but this Giveaway has made it stand out with neon lights and knobs on. I would sooooooooo love that book
ReplyDeleteLove Linda

Cool book!!! I would love to try crocheting a pair of socks, so far I've done a few pair of knitted ones.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to congratulate you on your page views. I love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not entering the competition because I can't crochet, but good luck to all who are entering and thank you for being so lovely and having a give-away in the first place :)
Wow, 20,000 views in just 6 months, that's amazing! Congratulations! It's a fantastic idea to have a giveaway too, and what a great prize!
ReplyDeleteHey well done you! I love the idea of socks but could see me with one complete and a lack of oomf to do the second one.
ReplyDeleteA crochet sock book, with misselle going on about socks on her podcast, I'm thinking about trying a pair, but as a non knitter need some crochet ones and as you know there aren't excessive numbers of patterns on rav. Please enter me in the draw. Px
ReplyDeleteYour Blog always has something interesting to read. Love the recipes especially. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLesley

ReplyDeleteI only recently started following your blog after discovering you Ravelry and I'd love to take part in your take away.
I never knew we could do that until now. It would be interesting to learn. Congrats on your blog! :D ~~BayouGramma
ReplyDeleteI've seen the book and it looks great. I'm always looking out for fun books for me and for my crochet students! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 20,000 views! I just recently finished my first toe-up knit socks so trying crocheted ones would be a fun follow-up!
ReplyDelete"Congratulations and Celebrations" sung in my (not very good) Cliff Richardish voice.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a book you could really fall in love with.

Goodness I was amazed to see I have 1900 people look at my site so that is great 20,000!!!
ReplyDeleteOh crotchet socks, i've done a few knitted but never crotchet.

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
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 20,000 Views! That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs the Author of the book you are giving away.. I am honored!! :)
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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 20,000 views!
Congrats on the blog!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
I am really enjoying all of your comments, thank you very much. I am glad I was right and so many of my blog buddies would like this book. I feel quite excited when I have a 'Give Away' wondering which one of you lovelies will be the winner. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm back in blogland just in time to find your fabulous socks!!! I hadn't seen crocheted socks before, even when it seems so logic to me that they can be made!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have that book!
I've been thinking about making crochet socks so I've been eyeing up this book for awhile now! I'm so excited to have found your blog and this great contest:)
ReplyDeleteSocks!!!! 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....
ReplyDeleteOne 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!!!
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteNever crocheted socks before but would love to have a go!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried crocheted socks but it sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteІ ωant to to thank you for this fаntаstic read!
ReplyDelete! I abѕοlutely loved every little bіt of it.
I have got you book-marκed to сheck out new thingѕ
