5 years anniversary! Join the giveaway!

Just over 5 years ago, I started this blog. 

November 20th 2008, I had my first two patterns published, 

in The Inside Loop. 

(This online magazine was discontinued shortly after, 

but I'm still going strong :-) )

So, to celebrate, I'm doing a giveaway!

If you comment on this post, you can win this project bag, 

with some stitch markers, a skein of hand dyed, icelandic lace yarn, 

a book mark from Shetland, and maybe some other goodies...

You also win a pattern of your choice. 

Four other winners, can also have a pattern of their choice. 

Five years, five winners.

Just make a comment saying which pattern you would like to win,

 if you're a lucky winner. 

The yarn, is the same yarn as I used in this shawl, details on Ravelry.

The give away closes on December 1st, 

and the winners will be announced on December 2nd 

(if nothing comes in the way.)

♥ 24 ♥ Merry Christmas - and the winners are...

So, we have winners!

And they were drawn the old fashioned way:

 By my two youngest boys:

 In front of the newly decorated Christmas tree:

It turns out the gifts stay in Norway:

Linda won the scarf.

Ragnhild won the mittens.

And Vibeke won the hat.

Congratulations!

(Send me an e-mail with your addresses,

you find mine in the right sidebar, in the welcome text.)

And Merry Christmas to all my readers!!

Thanks for visiting my advent calendar,

hope you have enjoyed it.

I think it has been fun,

but I can't promise to make it a yearly tradition...
