SPIN OUT 2007: Prize Update
It's that time again! Right now we're at $6465! Keep the donations coming! I'm getting prizes in the mail every day and new vendors are coming forward all the time. Here's a list of new vendors that have been added to the sidebar:
Michael & Sheila Ernst Finely Crafted Glass
Grafton Fibers
KnitKnack
StarBug Knits
Woodland Woolworks
Wooly Wonka Fibers
THANK YOU ALL! I encourage you to explore their sites and see what goodies they have to offer. There is so much talent out there it's STAGGERING! THANK YOU!
It's all yarn (especially sock yarn!) all the time this week!!!:
First up, we've got two great skeins of Etoile Sock yarn from StarBug Knits! THANK YOU EMILY!
And from another Emily, we've got two more skeins of sock yarn from Sophie's Toes. Emily is a quilter, dyer, knitter EXTRAORDINAIRE and the gorgeous colors of her yarn reflect that. THANK YOU EMILY!
Adrian, fresh from her phenomenal Bohus success, sent us two skeins of FAT SOCK from Hello Yarn! THANK YOU ADRIAN!
Mama Blue Knitting sent us three gorgeous skeins of sock yarn. I'm new to this yarn and it's really really nice! THANK YOU MAMA BLUE!
Dani, still high from her honeymoon, sent us one skein of laceweight silk (on the left) and two skeins of sock yarn from her shop Sunshine Yarns. THANK YOU DANI!
Sundara, from the famed Sundara Yarns, has completely outdone herself! If I wasn't so unbelievably touched by her generosity, I might say she's crazy!! Sundara sent us TWO HUGE boxes of yarn! First up we've got FIFTEEN (yes, 15!) skeins of her Silk Lace!
And then, as if that wasn't enough, she sent us TWENTY (yes, 20!) skeins of her famous SOCK YARN! THANK YOU SUNDARA! I'm SPEECHLESS!
And last, but certainly in no way least, we've got a KILLER prize for one lucky person!
SOME LUCKY WINNER will WIN A MEMBERSHIP IN THE 2008 ROCKIN' SOCK CLUB courtesy of all those fabulous folks over at BLUE MOON FIBER ARTS! Now THAT'S a ROCKIN' PRIZE! THANK YOU TINA, KACI & EVERYONE AT BLUE MOON!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
If you are a business and you would like to contribute a prize, please email me at prizes@spin-out.org . Also, if your name is not on this list and you feel it should be or there is a problem with your listing, please email me at the same address. THANK YOU! (HEY! YOU! Do you create or sell SPINDLES? I could use some SPINDLES for prizes. I like to make kits with all the wonderful fiber we receive. It's great for new spinners! THANK YOU!)
DONATE DONATE DONATE!
Please, if you haven't purchased a raffle ticket, do so now. Here's how it works:
For every $10.00 you spend on The Heifer International Gift Registry, your name will be placed in the proverbial hat for prize drawings in October. For instance, if you spend $50.00, your name will be put in the hat 5 times. You can win more than one prize if your name is in there more than once - we will not be pulling out names after a win.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Last year I realized that while I get registry data, I don't get exact donation amounts. To get your full raffle value, YOU MUST EMAIL ME THE AMOUNT OF YOUR DONATION! Please send an email, with RAFFLE in the subject line, to donations@spin-out.org. If you don't do this, your name will be placed in the raffle ONE TIME. THANK YOU!

I was holding out (lots of uncertainty in my finances right now), but all the sock yarn has just done me in. Resistance is futile...

I don't know how you manage to get so much done and deal with morning sickness too. This is very exciting... too bad I live on the left coast and can't attend.
