Surprise! It’s a new contest!

Surprise contest alert!!

That’s right! It’s August (how did that happen?!) and time for a surprise contest. I told you I had some extra tricks up my sleeve. ;)

Here’s the deal. We’re about to have a little scavenger hunt. You’ll answer 10 questions and get your name in a drawing to win this fabulous prize:

Turquoise and Limes

 

Self Striping Red, Turquiose, & Golden Yellow 009

That would be 2 different 4 oz. skeins of hand-dyed 100% superwash wool yarn from Cynthia’s Skeins. Cynthia was generous enough to donate this prize especially for this contest in addition to the stitch markers she had already donated. Thank you Cynthia!

Simple enough. Yes? Anyone registered in the along can play. Here are the rules (you knew there had to be rules, right?! ;)):

Copy and paste the text below into an e-mail you’ll send to me at the contest e-mail address (we all know how to find that now, right?!) with the subject Scavenger Hunt. Under each number, paste in the link to the website that you would like to supply as your answer which should NOT be from your own blog. Fill out the “Name” and “blog url” portions and you’re ready to hit send! Get it to me by 10pm on August 15th and you’re in the running for the loot. Winner will be chosen at random and announced around August 17th.

Got it? Good! Below the dashed line is your contest entry form. Good luck everyone!

  3. Amy Says:

    So…do the URL “responses” have to be from among the blogs of the SOS participants, or just anywhere in cyberspace?

  4. Jessica Says:

    Anywhere in cyberspace as long as it isn’t your own blog. :)

  5. BethC Says:

    Do the web sites for patterns have to be free patterns, or can it be a url for buying the specified kind of pattern?

  6. Jessica Says:

    They can be any kind of patterns, free or otherwise! :)

  7. Jen Says:

    This was such a fun contest! :-) Even added a few more blogs to my bloglines in the process :-)

  8. Ina Says:

    Great contest! Just the thing to shake off August dog day doldrums!

  9. jennsquared Says:

    Does each answer have to be different link/blog or can they be the same?

  10. Jessica Says:

    They can be the same, but it would be more fun if you found things on different sites!

  11. Susanna Says:

    That was fun! :)

    I found a few patterns to add to my queue and *lots* of new blogs to read.
