You’ve read my book reviews. You’ve perused my website reviews. You’ve lingered over my reviews of ads in magazines. Now, it’s your turn to post a review here. I can’t read every book, visit every website, or click on every ad link. So, I’m counting on my readers to share some of this information with other readers. And, you can win a prize for your review – a fresh, new copy of the very cute book Felt Me A Smile, (pictured above) recently reviewed on this blog.
The prize will be given to the most valuable review posted. It might be for writing about your favorite crochet book or sharing insights into your favorite blog or website. I’ll read every entry, visit every link, and judge which one I think offers the most insightful review. I’ll post a new category each Monday this month, so you have FIVE chances to win a great prize.
Here’s the category for Week 1 (of May, 2010):
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CROCHET BOOK PUBLISHED IN 2009 OR 2010? PLEASE GIVE US A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE BOOK, STATING WHY IT’S YOUR FAVORITE. Reviews should not exceed approximately 250 words.
Here are the contest rules:
The winner will have 48 hours to contact me with mailing information after the winner is announced. If the winner doesn’t contact me, the prize will be offered on another occasion.
RESPONSES MUST BE POSTED HERE AND NOT EMAILED TO ME PRIVATELY OR POSTED ELSEWHERE FOR ENTRY.
TO MAKE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR, THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH (OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER) AND THE WINNER MUST EMAIL ME ([email protected]) WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT. So, for sanity’s sake, that deadline will really mean that I need to hear from you no later than 8 PM the following Monday (so you have plenty of time to email me and I’ll get the email for sure even if I don’t sign on to my email on a Sunday).
For me it’s a tie between Amigurumi Two! Crocheted Toys for me and you and baby too By Ana Paula Rimoli, and Tasty Crochet By Rose Langlitz.
Both books have loads of adorable projects. The items I’ve made have had easy to follow directions. They work up quickly, great for last minute/short notice gifts. Even non-crafty people have loved oohhing and aahhing through the books.
And it helps that I’m currently in love with quick to “come to life” and easy to finish projects!
The Ami-ami dog books(ami ami dogs :2008, ami-ami dogs 2: 2009): In love with those cute amigurumi dogs? These books although in Japanese, can be easily followed thanks to the many drawings. And the result: a lovely doggie, resembling its actual life example.
Hilde,
You’ll love to see the Giveaway I have planned for February. Be sure to check back on Feb. 8 for details.
