Happy Anniversary to Me Giveaway!

UPDATE - the contest is now closed. The winner will be announced very shortly! Thanks for entering everyone.
Even though I just had a giveaway yesterday, I am having another one today. I could not let the one year anniversary of my first Blog post go unnoticed!
I am giving away that ultimate luxury fiber, cashmere! More precisely, 200 yards of 4 ply mongolian cashmere.
(Actual yarn may vary slightly in color but is very similar.)
Plus, so you're not stuck figuring out what to do with this deliciousness, you get a One Skein Wonder Book.

And it wouldn't be complete without chocolate! I am including a pack of Dove Truffles.
If you're not a knitter, I am sure someone in your life would love this yarn!
You can enter up to three times:
- One, just leave a comment
- Two, if you are or become a follower, leave another comment!
- Three, promote this giveaway on Facebook or Blogger or wherever, and leave a comment saying you've done so!
I am leaving this open until March fifth at noonish EST. I will use the old random number generator from our friends at random.org to pick a winner from the comments!
Good luck!
If you're not a member of Blogger, remember to leave your e-mail in the comment.
I am linking to Frugal Friday because how better to be frugal than to win free crafting supplies?! And giving away said crafting supplies is my favorite thing on this Friday!

Cashmere Spirogyra?!


Just really proud of these mitts I made for my mom for her birthday and wanted to share! They are made out of hand dyed 100% cashmere. This cashmere is dyed in batches so small, the company doesn't even make dye lots. They are made with the pattern Spirogyra from knitty.com, and they were a blast.

Lena Loo Legwarmers, and others

These are legwarmers I knit for my daughter. She's one fancy little girl - they're made from hand painted silk blend yarn. It's been lyring around for so long, I just had to use it. You can't tell from the pic, but they've got a lace and cable pattern on the front. They've got a ruffle on the end, and they're just epic. I only wish I made them a tad longer. They've been dubbed "Lena Loo Legwarmers", as her nickname is (one of the many, anyways) is Lena Loo.
Here's a pair of mitts I knit for my friend Danielle. I am so in love with them, I didn't want to give them to her. But as she paid me for them, I really had no choice.
In red as well. Oh, by the way, they're made with cashmere blend yarn. Yum!
All pretty and wrapped up.
The palm cable on the mitts. Shameless advertising - it can all be purchased at Natalie's Knits. Oh, I dyed my own yarn today. With Food Coloring. Mine didn't come out that bright, but I'm okay with that. It's a nice shell pink / Whitish variagated (sorry if the spelling is rubbish) wool, and I'm calling it Nantucket Red to fancy it up. In case you don't know what Nantucket Red is.
