Two contests coming up
Contest for a crochet dvd - it runs until March 31, 2009.
http://crochet.craftgossip.
This contest is a drawing for the "Annie's Attic Crochet Kit of the Month". Don't get excited - it's only for the first kit, a felted crcohet bag. It has a skein of wool, the directions for knit or crochet, and a button (no hooks or needles). To enter this contest, just leave a comment in my blog. I will have a drawing for the winner next Sunday and announce the name. Please make sure you leave an email where I can reach you.
No economic stimulus was given for these postings;)
_enjoy_
