This is it!! MINI-MOCHI contest- drawing

OK !!
it's time... we will have a drawing for 4 (FOUR) people to each win 2 balls [no color choice] of
new Mini-Mochi yarn. you can see it here Mini-Mochi and also look at pics of model socks [by me MMochi-Toddler tall socks] and wonderful wrister [by Adrienne MMochi-wrister]

the drawing starts NOW, and will end midnite 12/2 PST, [duh daylight time is over] so you have 2 wks to jump in and sign up [one entry only please]. 4 names will be chosen by random number generator.

what to do

1. leave a comment on this BLOG-post
it MUST have your blog addy or email so we can contact you
[if not able to contact you, LOL, i get to keep the yarn myself!!!... and i have this mattress I want to stuff so i need a lot of yarn !! :-) evil grin. ]

2. agree to send me/us pictures of what you knit - both "in progress" and "final" preferred, and allow us to show them on this blog and on the CrystalPalaceYarns site

3. for now, sorry, but you have to be in the USA so we can send it to you right away!
we only have a teeny bit of yarn here now, with the big stock coming in Feb. not telling you
where it's coming or you'd get there before me with a big truck!

4. only one entry per person & per family!

so comment away!

i will keep an eye on the blog and assign entry numbers.
but remember.... if i can't reach you to mail the yarn, it's mmmmmmiiiiiinnnnneee [he he he !!]

Yipppee I am the first. Should be the last, you can close the contest now. Just send it to me. I will be waiting.

Laura said...

Comments already!
1. debi - who forgot to leave me her email or a link to her blog so if i forget that i know her i can keep her yarn, right?

2. KelliG, who did leave her email, so i can't steal, er um borrow, er um claim her yarn.

not 3 as she's in Holland, but Bianca - ask the Dutch store that carries CPY if they will be getting this? so i can maybe have a 2nd contest later.
