Winner winner chicken dinner

Finally I am back to announce a winner for the giveaway! It was tricky given the grand total of 2 entries (not many sock knitters here, huh?) and I was worried about how we could chhose one number randomly from such a small field. In the end, I put 6 stones in a bag, 3 with the number 1 on them and 3 with the number 2. Cole and Imogen took turns to take out stones, and the first number with 3 stones won. So, congratulations Nikki! Let me know which yarn ytou'd like and I'll get your package out to you!

and Sheryl, since you were so game to delurk as well as to enter, the other skein of yarn is for you!

Thanks for playing guys...next time I'll do something that more people are interested in. (Any suggestions? Since mine may all be way off target!)

Wow, a winner, yay!

Super, thanks :)

In terms of giveaways and entries, I think that not all things will suit everyone. I've run several giveaways now, and I think the most entries I had was for a variety of different weight yarns with a promise of something to go with them. I also did an Amy Butler WIP bag I made which was popular too, although it was in Blogtober so that might have affected it. Even so, I can tell from my stats I have fewer than one entry per 3-4 hits on that page, so that must be proof it doesn't appeal to everyone.

I usually try to 'advertise' a giveaway on forums I belong to, on the Bloggers thread on Rav, and in Kiwi Knitters on Rav too :) HTH

oooh those are such good suggestions - thank you!! I didn't think of the publicity aspect (clearly been inhaling a bit too frequently with the dyes!) And you've reminded me - I must check in on the forums in Rav too...been a while!

Thankyou so much Jolie... I am both thrilled and scared at winning... thrilled to receive that gorgeous book and extra thrilled to have some of your hand dyed wool. Wow... Now the scared part... as a beginner knitter, I fear I cannot do your wool justice! Agghhh!!!

Thankyou so much. xxx
