Free Yarn Giveaway #2

Here it is. My second yarn giveaway. SIX skeins of Yarn Bee's Airy from Hobby Lobby. It's a specialty yarn and besides being "furry" it has a sparkle that does not show in this photo, but believe me, it is gorgeous.

As always, it comes from a smoke free and animal free location. Shipping is FREE in the US only, but read on.
I mentioned that I am going to be a guest contributor at Petals to Picots, and that's where you'll enter. Just tap her icon in my sidebar to go to her blog. Once there just watch for my contribution and leave your contact details in a comment there. Easy peasy! There will be 4 of my original granny patterns to debut there, plus all Kara's goodies, so don't miss out on anything this month!

Its so sad that the giveaway is only limited to US...I live in warm Malaysia which is thousands of miles away from you. The yarn would be great for crocheting.

Maybe I can help you. First become a member on my blog because I do no give information to Anonymous. Then email me because I do not wish to discuss it here on my blog. After that I will tell you by email about a possible solution. Thank you for your interest.

TIPS, TECHNIQUES AND PROMISES

When you crochet a purse and want crocheted handles, crochet around plastic tubing {like the kind used for aquariums} so the handles will not stretch out of shape when weight is added.
Before you start crocheting, slip beginning of yarn through a ring (jump ring, small bone ring, any small, smooth ring). It may sound crazy, but this will prevent yarn from tangling all the way to the end of your project.
PICNIC - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer
Unless it is an original pattern, let me find a free pattern for you before you buy one. I promise to either find it for you free, create one for you free, or send you a free skein of NICE yarn. That's a lot of free! And that is my promise to you!
When you make a swatch for gauging, make it at least 4"x4" (preferably larger) . Tag it with the info on hook size, yarn description , pattern, etc., and keep in a swatch book or box. You will be amazed at how often you will return to your collection for future projects
Crochet Vocabulary - PIGS are projects in grocery sacks.
When working with a dark color, place something white in your lap ( or vice versa) to make it easier to see what you are stitching.
