Video Blogging!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I plan on posting a 1-2 time a month video blog entry starting as soon as I get over what ever bug I'm working through right now. I figured it'd be a fun/quick way to get everyone caught up. It won't have a name because it's not a podcast. Just a vlog. I look forward to recording the first update. I'll post it here on my blog when it's done.

Pattern Giveaway Winner Announced!!

Thank you to everyone that entered the giveaway!! I really appreciate it!! I will be doing another one soon!!

If you think the hat is a little long don't worry. It can be flipped up to shorten it. It looks very cute that way as well.

Pattern Giveaway

I feel like doing something random today so I'd like to give away a pattern that is $6.00 or less on Ravelry (any pattern- I don't sell my designs any longer). To enter this give away you must comment with your Ravelry name so I can get a hold of you if you win. I'll choose a winner by writing names on pieces of paper and pulling one out of a hat (the old fashioned way) and I might even do it in a video. :-) The drawing will end 2 weeks from today. Please share with your friends.

**** In an attempt to get even more entries I'm changing the prize to a pattern (or patterns) that equal $10.00 or less on Ravelry.****
