The YARN CONTEST and fundraiser which I am holding for our 2010 trip to Carnegie Hall continues!
So far, donations total $250 - thank you to all !!
To recap quickly, this is the way the contest works:
For every $10 that you donate to our chorus, you will receive one chance at winning a prize (note all the prizes that have been posted previously are shown in the Yarn Contest album over at the top right of my blog) There are some amazing yarns and fibers that will be won.
Your donation to our chorus is tax deductible.
All checks need to be made out to Olympia Choral Society.
Leave me a comment below and I will send you the address where to mail your check.
Only three more weeks to enter the Yarn Contest. All donations must be received by May 23rd to be eligible to win - and Prizes will be drawn by random number generator. Winners will be listed on this blog on May 26th.
We need to begin making payments on our trip in the near future (thus the contest/fundraiser being held now.)
(For more details on our fundraiser and Olympia Choral Society, see this post)... and listen for me whispering every single day... omgosh.. we're performing at Carnegie Hall!
Here's this week's prizes:
From my stash: Corriedale Cross, spinning fiber, hand dyed by Sarah at Great Balls of Fiber - colorway Sunny Lupine
from my stash:
Socks that Rock, superwash merino sock yarn colorway Grawk
from my friend Lisa, owner of Dicentra Designs,
a gorgeous sock yarn, superwash Merino
in colorway "Steel My Heart" thank you dear Lisa!!
I have loved knitting with every single one of her colorways (and yes, I've tried a bunch!) You will too!
And so there you have it - this week's line up of beauties, added to the pile for the yarn/fiber prizes! Just let me be the first to tell you that they are even more beautiful in person.
More prizes will be added on the next two Tuesdays.
Carnegie Hall or Bust!
Oh, Grawk! Nummy. I'm working on a contest post for Wednesday, and I'll mention this post.
