Yes please! The coldest temperature I’ve experienced has been minus 10 Celcius, this winter here in Edinburgh.

Congratulations Franca of Oranges and Apples!  I’ll  be e-mailing you shortly.

(CLOSED) Giveaway: Knitted gloves and mittens!

It’s my birthday this week (Thursday) and I thought it would be nice to celebrate by offering a giveaway to my fabulous readers.  Since it’s still going to be pretty cold for the Northern hemi for a little while, I thought some nice warm mittens and gloves would be perfect (and winter will be in the Southern hemi before you know it).

This giveaway is open to everyone, everywhere!

The gloves are knitted alpaca gloves from Village Shoes (they aren’t affiliated with this contest, but they are awesome and you should still check them out.)  I won these gloves in a contest, but I’m allergic to alpaca, so I want to pass them on to someone who can give them the love they deserve.  They really are gorgeous, and very soft and warm.

I handknit the mittens myself, using Elizabeth Zimmermann’s mitered mittens pattern.  The yarn is a soy/wool blend, and it is very soft and warm.

The winner will receive both pairs!

There was a total of 57 entries into the Nepali Scarf giveaway.  I used a random number generator at random.org, which picked # 34!

Congratulations Emily!  I’ll be e-mailing you shortly.

Dansko giveaway winner

The winner of the Dansko Necci giveaway is Jennifer!  Congrats!  I’ll be e-mailing you soon.

Giveaway: Size 36 Dansko Necci Sandals!!

This is a very belated giveaway.  Over a month ago, I received an e-mail from a reader asking if I would be interested in holding a giveaway for a pair of shoes that she bought, but that just weren’t working for her feet.  I agreed, and she mailed them promptly, and then they sat on my desk for a month.  Sorry it took me so long Elizabeth!

This giveaway is for a lightly used pair of Dansko Neccis in size 36 (US 6).  Please note that this is the only size available, so only enter if you or someone you know wears this size.  I own several pairs of Dansko wedges, and I absolutely adore them.  For reference, I wear a US size 8 in most shoes, and in Dansko sandals I wear size 38.

If you’d like a chance to win these, leave a comment on this post.  For an extra entry, tweet about the contest on Twitter and then post a second comment letting me know you tweeted.  The deadline is November 13 at midnight.  I’ll choose a winner the next day.
