Contest Prizes, Round 4!

Posted on | September 9, 2008 | 4 Comments

It’s day nine of September, we’re just shy of a month away from our walk. I have been close to tears (and in full throttle) many times lately – overwhelmed by kind emails, comments, and notes from my donation page (all of which have just appeared tonight on my report – due to a glitch in the website your lovely notes weren’t showing before, but now they are and that started a whole new set of sniffles), your donations, and links, and prizes… Your generosity, your kindness, your words (and you and you and you and all of you that I’ve not linked but who have so kindly spread the word as well – don’t worry, you are all on my list for the special raffle!). You’re all amazing. Thank you (and that’s not nearly enough to tell you how I feel). You’ve helped me raise a total of $950(!) of my total as of this afternoon. Please keep spreading the word – I couldn’t have guessed we would raise that much, and there are still almost four weeks to go!

More prizes, my friends. And a word about my mom, because I can’t resist – She would have totally dug all this!! The indie dyer scene, the environmental slant that many independent and established yarn companies are taking, the creativity, the home-grown businesses, the crafters and artisans, the shared camaraderie and support – all of you and your generousity. I know you have all donated for your own compelling reasons, but I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.

Earthly Hues Vines yarn in colorway Butter – 850 yards of 100% merino laceweight – So SOFT and lovely. Tricia uses natural dyes, many made from plants grown in her own garden!

From Susan of Susan’s Pointy Sticks – 4 oz. of hand-dyed merino roving. A colorway called “Charlotte” in honor and in memory of a dear friend’s mother (hugs to you Susan, and to your friend).

Also, through October 3 Aunt Kathy will be donating proceeds from the sales of the sweet dishcloth she designed for the cause. Thank you Kathy!

If you are just joining us, click over to my 3Day Contest Page for complete details – these prizes and the running “knitter’s tally” of the fundraising dollars will be added as well. Thank you all again, so much.
