250 blog posts.

Well technically this is my 251st... but close enough! So in honor of this momentous occasion I am going to have a contest. Anyone may enter. All you have to do to enter is comment on this post. If you are reading this post from facebook follow the link and comment on the actual blog post on blogger. Here is the link: http://jaclynbailey.blogspot.com/ I will leave the contest open until the 7th of September, at which time I will put all the names in a hat and have Owen pull out three names.

The Runner up will win this hat:

It is a beautiful pink wool Cloche style hat. It is adult sized, although it is fitted on an adult head and would probably fit a teen as well. The flower is detachable.

They will also win a scarf like this one (that I have yet to make as scarves really need to be made in a length that fits their owner) out of the same yarn as the hat.





The first prize winner will receive a hat and fingerless gloves all made out of my own hand dyed yarn, also wool. They will be able to choose between a hat like the one above and this one (which is made out of the exact same yarn I will be using for this prize)



The fingerless gloves will be just like these:

or like these if you opt to have me make this set for a child:

(but the same yarn as shown for this prize.)

The grand prize winner will be able to pick their yarn (up to $30 worth), color and up to three hand made crocheted accessories. They will be able to decided what size they are as well. Love my work, but would rather be sure that your 3 young cousins that live in Fargo have warm hats? Sure I can make them the hats! Have a friend or family member who is going through Chemo? I would love you to use your grand prize winning to have me make them three hats of different styles! Having a baby and want me to make a pair of (small) longies, a sweater and a hat? Sure! This one is up to you. (within reason. I cant afford to make you three Quivit accessories. That stuff is CRAZY EXPENSIVE!)

All winners will have their prizes shipped between September 15th and October 15th. Want extra entries? Share this post on your facebook page, blog or twitter and for each one (one each per person) you will get an entry. If your friend comes and enters and tells me that you sent them I will give you an extra entry for that as well! That is 5 ways to enter!

Good Luck!
