CAN YOU STAND ANOTHER CONTEST?

May 21, by jd wolfe. 60 Comments

This time, I’ve got a batch of booklets for you.  I’ve been clearing out magazines and leaflets from my stash.  I have found duplicates aplenty!  So, I’m willing to part with them.

ann-pattern-club-05091

This first batch includes 7 digest sized booklets (like the one pictured above).  Six are Annie’s Pattern Club (the one above is one of the magazines in this batch) magazines and one is Creative Hands ‘Ripple Afghan’ booklet.  These are not all crochet patterns, but there is plenty of crochet in them.  Also, if you knit, there are a few knitting patterns included.

So, what do you have to do to win these?  Well, I can’t make it too easy.

First, when you enter by posting a comment here, you also need to email me privately with your snail mail address.  I’ve had too much trouble tracking down winners in the past.  I’d prefer to be able to just mail the prize to the winner.  Easier for you, too.  You may well get a surprise in the mail, then, if you aren’t a regular reader.  So, that’s rule #1 – ENTER A COMMENT AND EMAIL YOUR SNAIL MAIL ADDRESS AND NAME TO ME WITH YOUR COMMENT. (jdwln@sbcglobal.net)

Second, to actually enter the contest, you need to list a crochet technique that has not previously been mentioned by an earlier entrant.  No duplicates.  So, you could mention sc, dc, hdc, camel crochet, catherine’s wheel, etc.  There are plenty of crochet stitches, motifs, patterns, and terms.  Including a link to a picture of the entry may well give you an edge.  Let’s see how many we can list.

I’ll select the winner from amidst the entries.  Last contest had well over 100 entries.  One entry per email address please!

Contest opens today (May 21) and will end on Monday, June 15.  Winner will be announced shortly after the end of the contest.  I look forward to seeing how many different entries we can come up with!

    I’ve just re-discovered the afghan stitch, aka Tunisian crochet. No “holes”, and makes a nice background for embroidery or crocheted flowers!

    I love making E. Hiddleson doilies and she was the Queen of the treble crochet. Sooooo, I guess that would be my favorite.

    i must say i like all of your blog postings. not only are they informative and interesting, but a person [me, i hope]can win important things [like patterns for instance.]

    one of my favorite crochet stitches is the twisted chain loop stitch.

    i found it in ‘Crochet Your Way’ by Gloria Tracy & Susan Levin several years ago.

    there is no link for this stitch that i’m aware of, but it’s easy to do.

    2 row pattern repeat:
    on a dc base make a chain [7 or more], then ss from back to front in the back loop of previous row, repeat across.
    next row: do dc in the back loop across.

    i use this in amigurumi for hair; in free form crochet for dimensional effect; for plush rugs and many other items.

    keeping my fingers crossed,
    nikki

    My favorite stitch is the V-stitch. It makes making blankets a snap 🙂
