I have been the recipient of many wonderful things lately. I won two giveaways, I have had several wonderful swap opportunities, and....I have been told I can start training again by the 'soft tissue guru'. So in the spirit of all that is great and fabulous, I am holding a 'giveaway'. I am not certain if someone would necessarily want to wear something I made - however, here are the rules and the goodies.
ONE person will be drawn from those who leave a little comment on this post, to win the three items featured above. There is a scarf - very simple knit - but made from a scrumptious, soft pink beaded yarn from Tilli Thomas; there are hand-knit socks with cute little flowers encircling the top of the leg; and, there are note cards created from some of my favorite photographs that I have taken. Both of the knits are made by yours truly with love. I will draw the name next Saturday, October 25, and announce the winner in my post on that day.
Also in the spirit of good Karma, I would like to mention a very lovely person - Tracy of Pink Purl. Tracy is an extremely talented individual and I have purchased jewelry and this wonderful purse (photo below) from her shop. Tracy's work is perfection - her handmade items are unique and she always puts a little something extra in my parcel for me to enjoy. I love buying 'handmade' and supporting artisans who put so much care and effort into the items they create. And...Tracy always gives me hugs in her emails and comments...how can you go wrong with that?
Have a lovely weekend and don't forget to leave me a comment for the giveaway draw.

It seems childish to jump up and down and yell pick me! PICK ME! -so I won't.....on the outside anyway.
Good luck with the training. I am thinking of entering triathalon training, you know, on top of everything else I have on my plate :)
What do you mean "I am not certain if someone would necessarily want to wear something I made"????????????

It makes me really happy to hear about all the good things that have been your way lately. Hope there are many more.
Good news about the training. It is kind of you to spread some good karma. I love the photos you post on your blog.

always love handmade! i've never knit socks, but it's on my to-do list. these look wonderful! please count me in!
So glad to hear that you are allowed to train again.
Well, for me it would just have to be the socks - socks from the person who inspired me to try knitting some! I love 'Pink Purl' too!
Hey--congratulations on getting a green light to run again! I just started back up (well, I've been running but I'm more serious about it now)...you inspired me to aim for a half marathon on Whidbey Island in March! The knits look lovely (and who wouldn't want to wear them!!) but you know it's those photos I'm coveting! :) I can see from the picture, its some of my favorites of yours! Such a kind gesture to your readers!
Just found you through Montague--your scarf is beautiful! (Personally, learned to knit a winter or two ago and made ONE scarf total, as in ever. So much more appreciation for the talented now.)
what a comfy sounding giveaway! I would love to bundle myself up in that scarf! Pick me!
Stop by my blog for a GIVEAWAY and Comment for a Cause!
oh, i want to play! please include me in your draw for the lovelies.
Pretty stuff...count me in.
I found your lovely blog via Tilly - she tagged me at the same time, going to do mine today! Your photograhs are amazing, would love to own those notelets, but I wouldn't want to use them for writing notes - I'd frame them lol. It was through reading the likes of yours and Tilly's blog that I too was inspired to start sock knitting, so the karma is already working:)
What goes around comes around - I truly believe it.
That's a fabulous giveaway, please put my name in the 'hat' (or bowl, or cup, or whatever you use).
I too am a fan of Tracy's work - always so stylish!

It looks great!
I can't resist the call! I am fond of your hand-knitted socks!
What a charming reason to have a giveaway and what charming gifts.
What could be better than a hand-made giveaway. What lovely goodies!
Of course I would love to wear something you created! Hope everything is feeling a bit more hopeful :)
Are you kidding? Wear something knit by YOU - we should be so lucky!
I'm glad you have some good karma surrounding you.
pick me!
Funny how comments are flowing in suddenly.
Everything is wonderful. I especially love that pretty scarf!
The color of that pink scarf is so delicate...
Count me in! I'd love to wear that beautiful scarf! :)
You are such a babe for spreading the good karma!! I think whoever wins will be very privileged to receive such lovely gifts. :)
