Last week, to celebrate returning to Hankering for Yarn, and to also celebrate the launch of Bliss Tree, I announced a contest… Celebration Contest

I asked people to list off everything- and I REALLY DID MEAN  E V E R Y T H I N G - in this photo.

21 people left comments (thanks everyone - big hugs & waves)

But….

Guess what?

Nobody guessed E V E R Y T H I N G!

Alright….now don’t hate me for this….

this was a game in creativity, after all…..

Here’s the list of    E V E R Y T H I N G in the photo:

1. The table!  There is a table holding E V E R Y T H I N G up!

2: The blue shawl on top of the table, under the

3: Knitted lace shawl (from wool I handspun)

4: Ball of handspun yarn (yep, I spun it)

5:  The Blessing Hand (I loved the way different people described it! I bought it at a garage sale, and it was plain brown. So, I painted it to make it look more the way I thought it deserved to)

6: Rigid Heddle - Boy was that ever a bearcat to make.  That’s the Minoan Goddess of the Bees burned on. I’ve only ever made a couple of rigid heddles, and there’s a reason why.  erg.

7: Top whorl spindle. Yes, that IS a chopstick glued into a toy wheel and  burned. And, it works great!

8: Nostepinne: Jim turned her for me and I burned her.

9: Bobbin that Jim turned, and I burned. Jim made me a spectacularly beautiful boat shuttle for my birthday a few years ago. I had taken a weaving workshop and came home all wistful because one of the other women had a wooden bobbin for her shuttle. He not only turned me a bunch of bobbins, but made me the boat shuttle, too…. he is amazing and wonderful.

10: Spool knitter- I adapted a purchased wooden spool to make this spool knitter, and it’s very nice to spool knit with.

11: Knitting needles: About 20 years ago, I bought a couple of pens that had little Matroushka dolls on the top of them. I cut the dolls off, and drilled, oh so carefully, into them. I cut the knobs off a pair of bamboo needles and inserted them into the Matroushka dolls. They have really faded, but I still love them.

12: A tatting shuttle that I carved at least 20 years ago…. I don’t make this style of tatting shuttle anymore, as I have far too much fun making the sculptural tatting shuttles that I am focused on now.

13: Handcarved crochet hook. I carved this one a couple of years ago.

So, you see, nobody got everything…. but several people got ALMOST everything.

I decided that we would draw for 2 winners…. one to celebrate my homecoming to Hankering for Yarn                               (I LOVE being home on H4Y!) and one to celebrate the launch of Bliss Tree.

I didn’t tell what the prizes were.

The winners will get their pick of either of these patterns:

pdf pattern for 7 different hats  woven on the potholder loom

OR

pdf pattern for the Knitted Lily Doll.

Lily is one of my most favorite dolls that I have ever designed.

And, now…. drumrolls please, the winners are (according to the numbers: #6 and #15)

That would be Pirk and Debbie!

Congratulations Pirk and Debbie and I hope you will enjoy your goodies.

(You get to choose which one you want)

Thanks again to everyone who entered.

I’ll be emailing Pirk and Debbie asap.

I will be having more contests to celebrate the launch, so stay tuned!
