My little ole' blog turned three this month. What a wonderful three years it has been! Because I love to celebrate all birthdays, you know what is coming next.
Oh, hello there you lovely girls!
These two heavenly skeins of Madelintosh light and some fun gift tags will be given away this Blogiversary. The color is Jade, it was not intentional that today happens to be St. Patricks day and I am giving away green yarn. It is just a fun coincidence.
My way of saying thank you for visting with me. I never would have thought I would have met and bonded with such amazing people through a blog. Whether it is through your blogs, Flickr, or Ravelry I have enjoyed each and every interaction.
So all you need to do is leave a comment telling me what you would like to knit with this heavenly yarn, (did I mention this yarn is heavenly-it really is!). Also very important you need to leave either a link to you blog, Ravelry page or Flickr page. If the URL is your blog then you are golden. If you don't provide at least one of the links mentioned, you will not be entered for the drawing. The reason behind this is because I was sent an email from a lady who won some yarn in a giveaway and wanted to know if I would like to buy it, as she does not knit or crochet. Made me kind of sad that someone who did knit or crochet missed out on the opportunity to win the yarn.
You will need to leave a comment by midnight (PST) March 30th. Names will be entered into the random generator and announced on the 31st. I will mail anywhere in the world.
Good luck and enjoy some retro Sesame Street!

Happy Blogaversary! I'm so glad you started blogging!
As for the yarn, if I win I'd knit up a simple shawl - probably garter with a little lace. Maybe even a Lyrica?
And boo for people trying to sell their spoils from a contest. It takes all kinds, doesn't it?

hello, andi :)
I'm glad we found each other this year ~ your blog is so much fun and your Leaves disaster post is the most read post EVER on mine! (bet you didn't know that!!)
I would almost definitely knit myself a shawl with the madtosh if I were luck enough to win (surprise surprise!)
happy blog-birthday! Melissa

Happy 3rd anniversary My Sister's Knitter! I've been looking forward to your posts for a long time. Thanks for being an inspiration to many...for your kind words and encouragement...for being you! Cheers to many more years (and socks, etc).

What a stunning colour. I am knitting a cardigan with M'tosh sport at the moment, never used it before but it is sublime. Your skeins would make a beautiful shawl, or cowl, I think that's what I would do with it if I won. Happy bloggy day to you and congratulations!

I would LOVE to make a nice scarf or neck wrap out of that amazing Jade colored yarn!!! I'm on Rav as Rudio
Thank you for the lovely blog!!

Happy blogiversary!!! What a beautiful and generous giveaway! I have never used MadTosh before (always wanted to), but I think that I would make a slouchy hat and mitt set with the yarn. It is too pretty to be hidden away somewhere. Ooo, or maybe a lacy scarf would be pretty too!

Happy Bloggeraversary! I'm so glad to stumble upon your blog and have been reading for a while. Thanks for always sharing your awesome WIPS and FOs. It always inspires me to dig in my stash and cast on something colorful for myself. The yarn probably wants to be socks or a cozy cowl. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

Happy third birthday, it is always lovely to catch up on your projects every Sunday :O)

Happy Blog Birthday! I've been reading your blog for a while now for inspiration. I'm working on the Holden Shawlette now and would love to move up to the more advanced Haruni Shawl once I'm finished. That lovely jade Madelintosh would be just the ticket for it! ;-)

I look forward to reading your blog and have been a fan for a long time. Congratulations! Green is my favourite colour and I would enjoy making a lovely shawl with this yarn. Love it.
My ravelry name is duncanch. I hope you have many more years of blogging.

I would make my blond haired blue eyed daughter a Feb Lady sweater

The gift tags are awesome! Confession: I already knit a sweater (Breakwater by Cecily Glowik Macdonald) out of two skeins of Jade TML... It is one of my very favourite colours. If I won two more skeins, I would almost certainly make a shawl with it (like everyone else apparently!). Looking forward to more of your blog!

Happy Third Anniversary!
The first thing I thought of was this:

Best wishes for many more blogging anniversaries. If I won the yarn, it might want to become a shawl -- the wonderful colors say "leaves" to me.

Happy Bloggy Birthday!
Jade is a beautiful green. It would make a stunning shawl, maybe something similar to the Milk Run Shawl, Thanks for the chance :-)

Congratulations on 3 years of blogging! That's so exciting. I've enjoyed getting to know you and see all the pretty things you make.
I had such fun looking through patterns and imagining what I'd make with this yarn. It's tough, but I narrowed it down to either a shawl (maybe Aestlight) or a lightweight cardigan (perhaps Drifting?). I've been knitting lots of baby things lately and I have a craving to cast on something just for me!

Stumbling backwards into your blog a few years ago was one of the most fortuitous days of my online life. I think if I were lucky enough to have that heavenly yarn in my life, I would make Comfort Food (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/comfort-food)... because what would be more delicious than having that!
I'm PprmntMochaMama on Ravelry and my blog is linked in my name (hopefully).

Happy blog-birthday! I've just started following your blog recently and I love it. I would likely knit a shawl for my mother out of this jade yarn.
Posted by: Kate | 03/18/2013 at 09:36 AM
Many happy returns. That yarn would make a lovely 'proper boy's sweater' for my 4 year old grandson.

I really love visiting this blog and I am a sucker for Madelinetosh, so the post already feels celebratory :)
I would have to go shawl with that gorgeous green. Maybe a Henslowe, which I've been hemming and hawing about a lot or maybe this one: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-lovely
Happy Anniversary, keep the posts, pink, socks and all the lovely coming!

What a beautiful yarn! Congratulations to you and your blogging! It's been so very nice to get to know you. I'm always amazed at your beautiful knitted projects. If I could only knit like that. I hope who ever wins will post what they made with this luscious yarn & report back to you for all of us to see.
Hope you had a great weekend. I went to my great grand baby, Lundey's 2nd birthday party. Almost all the family was there. It was good 'ol time.
Thanks for being a great friend :'}
