Win stuff!
Yep…it’s my first contest! My mom and I are co-running this to support our efforts for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - scary thought: We’re supposed to have all the $9,600 in about a month, and we’re only about a third of the way! So, inspired by Stitchcounter’s contest, we’re running one, too.
What is this stuff you will win, you might ask? Welllll…yarn, of course! (this contest functions as a nice destash for us, too) Here’s the outline:
- For donating $10, your name will go in the figurative ‘hat’ once.
- If you mention this contest on your blog and link to it, you get another entry if you’ve already donated. NEW: Also, anybody who mentions it on their blog will get entered in a mystery prize drawing!
- For donating, $50, your name will go in the hat six times for being so generous!
- If some kind soul out there donates $100, they automatically win!
- Otherwise, after each $100 donated, a drawing will happen and whoever wins will get the yarn - for teen readers out there, this obviously means you’ll have to provide me with your address, so keep any parental-imposed limitations on that front in mind.
- Every once in awhile, assuming I remember, everyone who’s donated and hasn’t won anything will get thrown into a drawing for some more yarn!
- If you donate, email me at fiberfiend6891 AT gmail DOT com with your full name (or whatever name you used when donating). If you win, I’ll email you for your address.
- Remember donations are tax deductible and support a great cause!
DONATE HERE!
Current Yarn up for Grabs:
Some truly glorious and hard-to-capture on camera Handmaiden Silken. I figured, better to include too many pictures than too few, hopefully you get a general sense of what it actually looks like…

Good luck to you and your mom.
I made a small donation in memory of my grandfather.
Thank you both for doing this.

Good luck with your fundraising. I bet you’ll get a lot of people from Ravelry, it’s amazing what someone will do for pretty pictures of yarn.
Maybe I should change that to say, it’s amazing what I will do for pretty pictures of yarn.
