Contest Fun For Yarn Friends
It's time for a contest to celebrate 10 years of this blog.
We'll be celebrating all year!
Special Thanks to Irisheyes Lynn who originally informed me of BLOGS -
and to Al who used to contribute once in while too.
Thanks to Lynnette at 3 Bags Full for letting me post many images of her yarn studio.
Thanks to Katherine who has posted images for the blog when my computer was down.
and Thanks to you for reading and commenting.
You teach me so very much.
If you would like to win this extra long flax neck or shoulder wrap from Enchanted Designs Etsy shop in Valentine hearts,
you must take the test below.
All test takers are included in the raffle.
I picked this prize because I need neck/shoulder care when I knit for long periods.
You must leave a comment on this post and only this post by Valentines Day to enter the contest. You don't have to actually list answers unless you wish to amuse me.
Here goes:

Congratulations.
Love the test funny.
Love stopping in at Lynette's when I can. I try but this weather and the construction on some of the streets around here do not make it easy.
Oh my you have what I wish--seams sewing themselves. That is one of the things I dread about a completed project-- all the parts are made just have to seam it-- UGH.
Enjoy ! Enjoy
Happy 10th
What's Kitchener? Just kidding. Of course that would be my choice!
Zach is so talented in so many areas that I would bet he can knit if he wants to.
I don't want to think about what you are holding when the vet does unspeakable things.
I would love to knit in a cabin in Wisconsin. My dream vacation.
Here's to 10 more years of Irisheyes!!
