Exciting things are happening. I won last weeks Getting Loopy contest! Getting Loopy is an interactive online radio podcast all about crochet, by a crochet designer and all around expert in crochet, Mary Beth Temple. I listen every week now, although I don't have the free time on Monday nights to log in to the chat room while the radio show is happening live. That's where the real fun is, from what I hear. The listeners get to chat while listening to the podcast, and ask questions so Mary Beth can ask the guest. The prize I won was a free download of one of MB Temple's patterns and some sock weight yarn to make the item. I chose the Field of Flowers scarf! I'll make it for myself and nobody can take it away!
I also won a contest on ravelry's "Crochet Bouquet" group. The author of "Crochet Bouquet", Suzann Thompson, offered to send a bag of yarn scraps to the winner of a contest to come up with ideas for making stamens for flowers. I was the only person to offer an idea for the month of August, so I won by default. I thought that was very kind of her to be willing to still send me some yarn scraps. Her scraps are probably a hundred percent better than my full skeins. I look forward to seeing what comes!
Ravelry has been a lot of fun. I didn't expect to win anything, but it sure is wonderful to see people who love their craft promoting it and having fun little contests.
I also feel like I won because I found some used craft books for really cheap on Amazon. They should be arriving in the mail any day now! I'll wait to share that here. I'll have photographs of some of the best pages!
