You have to head over to the Crochet and Knit Giveaways right now. Seriously. Don’t read anymore, just go.

For those of you who don’t follow directions (I’m looking at YOU), what awaits you is the chance to win a $50 gift certificate for…

That’s right! Scout’s Swag.

Scout graciously accepted my nervous-as-hell proposal, pretty much without question. This either means that she is (a) crazy, or (b) unable to say no, even when she has ridiculous amounts of things to do already. BUT, she said yes, and that makes me excited.

Scout is the first sponsor/vendor, which is a huge deal. I mean, really, have you seen how incredibly awesome her swag is? Her yarn alone is de-lish, but to put the rest of the store’s notions and swag on top of that? It’s like one of those funny-between-the-legs nice dreams, but when you’re awake.

Oh dear.

Well, time is up, and you know what that means, right? We have a winner for the Giveaway!

I told Random.org to pick one number from 1 to 47, and it chose…*drum roll*

And #33 is…

I mentioned a giveaway on the podcast. This is not the one I meant. (These are not the droids you are looking for.) This is a spontaneous decision to giveaway a pattern via the Bloggy Giveaways.

Between January 30th (Wednesday) and February 1st (Friday, until 11:59pm EST), I am offering one winner one free pattern of their choice. To enter for this giveaway you must leave a comment to this entry. To announce who wins, I will post a short podcast episode on February 3rd (Sunday), as well as e-mailing them.

Click on the link above that says “Patterns” to look at the available patterns you can choose from. From there, feel free to click on the associated links on that page to find out more information regarding the pattern.

Here’s a sneak peak:

The Details

• On Saturday, February 2nd at 11:59 PM EST, comments will close and I will select a winner using a random number generator (eg: someone that is still awake in the house).
• The winner will be posted on Sunday, February 3rd, in the form of a podcast episode, as well as in the show notes posted here.
• Please note that duplicate comments will be deleted.
• This giveaway is open to bloggers and non bloggers alike.
• The winner will be notified on Sunday, February 3rd via email.
• The winner will have 4 days to respond with the pattern of their choice. Please check your Spam/Bulk folders. If I don’t receive an e-mail from the winner within the time frame, another winner will be chosen by random number and that winner will have the same timeframe.

If you don’t win this giveaway, keep in mind I will have another in the near future.
