I had to start the day with Spock. I'm in a Star Trek kind of mood.
Well, today is Parktoberfest. Unfortunately, it's cold and rainy. That sucks for an outdoor party. However, it has been cold and rainy at most Parktoberfests. You'd think I'd get used to it.
In celebration of the new floor and drapes in my house, I am having a contest. Here is the prize.
It's heavy on the chocolate. We have Idaho Elk Droppings (chocolate covered peanuts), a Chocolate Moose Bar, and a locally made Wild Huckleberry Chocolate bar, along with a skein of sock yarn from Araucania. This yarn is hand dyed in Chile, fingering weight, 3.5 oz./100 gr., 376 yards, 75% wool/25% Nylon. Note: this is not superwash wool.
The rules:
Contest entries will be accepted from now until 5pm pacific time Saturday, October 10th. To enter, leave a comment in this post. ONE comment per person. No anonymous comments will be accepted. So if you don't have a Blogger screen name, please put your name in the comment.
Edit 10/10/2009: My goodness! I didn't expect this many entries. I will be using a random number generator to pick the winner.
I'll announce the winner on Sunday, October 11th. That person will then need to email me, within 4 days, their mailing address so I can send them their prize. If I don't hear from them, I will draw another winner.
Have a great day!
Contest is now closed. Thanks to all who entered, and good luck!

ReplyDeleteAnd that's a funny video of Spock!
Congrats on the floors, looks awesome!
Haha Elk droppings! I love your new drapes! The colors are really rich.
ReplyDelete"Moose droppings" made me think of those little reigndeer you can get around Christmas, where you put brown jelly beans in them and then lift the tail to make them "poop."
ReplyDeleteOn a less gross note, I'm throwing my hat in the ring!
wow... chocolate AND sock yarn? sounds like a winning combination to me! congratulations on the new drapes, I bet it makes the whole place seem brand new... and i envy you the hardwood floors.

ReplyDeleteStaceyKnitsIt Ravelry
It's COLD in my building until we get the boilers checked out (monday). So chocolate and wool are really appealing. I wish I could order out for chocolate and maybe HOT chocolate. I'm wearing my worsted weight socks and bulky slippers.
ReplyDeleteHope you pick me ;-).
Ooo Looks like my kind of giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying reading about the work you've been doing on your house. The floors you've been putting in are just like magic!
Hi Sweetie!
ReplyDeleteYour house looks awesome! Love the colors...
Luv U and Luv your Sweet Hubby too!
Hugs around...:) Ed will eat the chocolate.:)

Beautiful yarn, beading, orchids: so interesting that many of us share the same loves. Chocolate, gleaming floors, fun accessories, and great spouses are universal, though. Lovely!
