lottery

Last weekend I had a little sale of my latest batch of knitted animals and again it highlighted the complexities of trying to keep everyone happy.

The problem is that my little mailing list has been growing and growing and the number of finished items I'm able to make is staying pretty much the same from year to year. Anyway, I've been pondering and I thought we'd give a regular lottery a try.

If you'd like to enter please leave a comment below. I'll draw one name at random and either give them a choice of what I have ready at the time or offer them a special order. This isn't a freebie giveaway so the person selected would still be required to pay for the animal (around ยฃ25 plus postage) but I'm hoping it will give a few of the people who've been missing out on my sales a chance to buy one.

I'll also continue to list a few at random on etsy and have timed sales on the blog from time to time and I'll keep the mailing list up to date with details of these.

This draw will close at 12 noon on March 31st 2010.

**Please could I ask that you only leave a comment below if you don't already have one of my animals, thanks.

Update March 31st

Sorry for the delay in posting. The random number generator came up with 74 which was Gwen. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to comment.

I'll continue to do a monthly draw over on my shop blog so please pop over there if you'd like to enter for April

On Friday Toby slept through the night for the first time this year (fingers crossed it's the start of a new sleep pattern – a permanent one!)

my spring animal knitting is progressing well (news will follow shortly for those interested)

Spring girls

our little daffs have now flowered and so Amy & I have made a little easter display with the eggs I knitted a few years ago. The only downside is that the morning sun shows how much the windows need a clean. Time to think about spring cleaning!
