I know that is a little selfish, but at least it is the best kind of selfish.<br /><br />Thank you for doing this give away. I'm trying to think of something of my own to PIF and not having a lot of luck for the last week or so. I think I'm going to put together a piece of jewelry. It's been a while.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770958812616895046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-27537785582617194582009-11-20T02:48:15.286-08:002009-11-20T02:48:15.286-08:00What a nice story :)

I just love to watch it, love to hold it, love to enjoy all the colours and materials. I am thankful that yarn gives me all these positive thoughts :)<br /><br />I have never ever seen any Wollmeise, so I'd be so, so thankful of that too :)Päivihttp://lankapiilo.vuodatus.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-11263652942933076302009-11-15T15:15:48.197-08:002009-11-15T15:15:48.197-08:00I am thankful for ANY and ALL yarn coming into my ...I am thankful for ANY and ALL yarn coming into my life. Ironically it wasn't really until I joined Ravelry that the world of vast fibery goodness truly came into my life. Prior to that my knowledge mainly consisted of acrylic & cotton yarns as that was what my Mother and Grandmother used. I am thankful for them passing on the gift of knitting and crocheting and how a gift from the heart can be the greatest treasure of all.<br />AND in the spirit of Thanksgiving I am thankful for you running this giveaway and I wish you and everyone entering a wonderful Thanksgiving! <br /><3 Halloweentango on Ravmichellehttp://www.michelledarensbourg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-1539929022945766172009-11-15T12:33:57.397-08:002009-11-15T12:33:57.397-08:00I am thankful for knitting because it opens up the...I am thankful for knitting because it opens up the fellowship of wonderful women in my family, my circle of friends and the larger circle of knitters in my community and beyonddocrocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-66721105296683738042009-11-15T09:58:27.166-08:002009-11-15T09:58:27.166-08:00this is funny, today to the Wollmeise web site for...this is funny, today to the Wollmeise web site for the first time, it's so confusing so I went on ravelry and I found/joined the Wollmeise group because I'd love to get some of their yarn.

I am grateful that yarn gives me an opportunity to share creativity while at the same time provides me with some meditative space.<br /><br />This is a very lovely thing you're doing - thank you!EdaMommyhttp://unravelations.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-60234727208865288792009-11-14T05:13:26.187-08:002009-11-14T05:13:26.187-08:00I am so very grateful for YARN because it is a rel...I am so very grateful for YARN because it is a relaxing, meditative form of creativity for me. I love the challenge of knitting a pair of lace socks or crocheting a soft baby blanket. Yesterday I bought a weaving loom so I'm really becoming a full blow yarnaholic! I've never been able to buy Wollmeise so winning a hank would be a dream come true for me this Thanksgiving!<br />You are very sweet to pay it forward!

I am thankful for ya...wow! what a great offer. <br /> I am thankful for yarn and yarn arts because they make me special. <br /> Every morning at work I knit during treatment team. Because of this, I have a reputation for my knitting. I have made things for folks (usually items that were started for someone else, but claimed by a work friend instead - lol). I also have quizzed my co-workers when I was not sure about colors or patterns and generally received good advice. I even have gotten a few commissions. <br /> I am not extremely talented or original. But yet, yarn has given me a reputation for being so in the eyes of my co-workers<br /> Thanks again and have a great Thanksgiving everyone!mysteri1229https://www.blogger.com/profile/13733500000047172580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-81879296696607427452009-11-13T13:33:29.323-08:002009-11-13T13:33:29.323-08:00I am grateful for the pleasure I recieve while wor...I am grateful for the pleasure I recieve while working with yarn, and for the ability to provide warmth for those I love; whether they be in my immediate circle of friends and family, or amongst those whom I will never meet, but who will receive an item I've knitted for charity.One Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511357025316848186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-5665463560202926912009-11-13T10:52:50.781-08:002009-11-13T10:52:50.781-08:00I have shared this nice lottery with my friends ht...I have shared this nice lottery with my friends http://maarithannele.blogspot.com/2009/11/arvontavinkki.htmlritvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840335713643822541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-5292500753122494972009-11-13T10:24:51.077-08:002009-11-13T10:24:51.077-08:00oh, such a nice giveaway!

I couldn't write a grocery list, let alone the Great American Novel. With yarn I can be Twain meets Krantz.<br /><br />4. Most importantly because it's too hard to wrap live sheep or llamas or musk oxeses around knitting needles. Much easier with yarn.<br /><br />Thanks for a fun contest.Kitten With a Whiplashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398822257651862516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078071.post-66622735690764024792009-11-13T07:13:43.358-08:002009-11-13T07:13:43.358-08:00i'm thankful for yarn, because it allowes me t...i'm thankful for yarn, because it allowes me to sit and rest without looking doing nothing.
