If you've not read about the winners to our latest contest....please scroll back a couple of posts to see who won.  No doubt will have another contest sometime this summer, so please keep checking in.  Folks, I know we get visitors who come and read; but we'd really REALLY like YOU to let us know you've been here by leaving a comment.  Leaving a comment is easy, and it's quick, and it helps the blog.  Sooooooo, please quit being shy and say hi.  Type your comment in the white space provided  when you click comments.  Then click the drop down box and select name and url NOT ANONYMOUS (as most anonymous comments end up in the spam folder are aren't helpful), type your name and leave the url space empty if you don't have a blog.  You can also leave the url from your facebook profile page.  PLEASE help us, leave comments, take time to admire each others work.  You do not need to be a blogger to leave a blog comment.

Contest Winners


This beautiful white rose is to say Thank you to the 26 people who left comments from March 23rd til yesterday April 13th to help us celebrate our 1,000 post!  Yesterday, we hit the mark.  That's quite a milestone.  Thank you to all who visit, who comment, who knit and crochet to keep this blog going so long.

During that time we had a total of 162 comments.  That's awesome, though I do still wish we could convince some of more shy folks to leave comments.  It is so helpful to the blog.  You do not need to be a blogger to leave comments.  It's quick and easy.  Simply type your comment, click the drop down box and leave your name and in the space that says url...leave that blank, hit ok or publish and thats all there is to it.

Thank you:

Please make contact with me via email at sandycrochet@gmail.com and leave me your snail addy's.  Also, please remind me if you're a knitter, or a crocheter.  Sometimes that helps me in selecting........goodies.

Congratulations ladies!

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
