Giveaway Monday!

In celebration of the upcoming launch of my new podcast, CRL: with Vickie Howell, I think a goodie giveaway is in order! Everyone who posts the CRL banner on their blog or website will get a free ball of Vickie Howell Collection yarn (while supplies last). Just grab the above image from this page and link to (http://www.vickiehowell.com/podcast.html), or cut and paste the code found here.

But wait, there’s more! Just for reading this blog, you’re eligible to win one of these crafty prizes:

Hard Cover Copy of Knitting Lessons, by Lela Nargi

Written in 2003 and recently re-released on audiobook, this was the first knit-related publication I was ever interviewed for (pre-Knitty Gritty)–it’ll always have a special place in my heart.

Soft Cover Copy of Doodle Stitching, by Aimee Ray

Filled with a ton of whimsical, doodle-inspired embroidery projects and instruction. This book is adorable and would make a great gift for new and experienced stitchers alike!

Hard Cover Copy of Designer Needle Felting by Terry Taylor & Candi Cooper

Join the latest fiber craze: needle felting! This collection of projects and instruction is a great sampling of the many things you can do with a little bit of wool and some imagination.

Soft Cover Copy of Just Gifts, edited by Shannon Okey

There can never be too many books about cute, quick-to-make gifts especially, this time of year. This one does not disappoint in offering presents that are as fun to knit & crochet and they are to receive!

MuseAbles Artsy Fiber Kit

I demonstrated how to use this kit at the CHA convention last year and loved both the colors and technique. This kit includes everything you need for a gorgeous, simple-to-sew “Sculpted Scarf” or table runner.

For all giveaways, e-mail rebecca@vickiehowell.com with your mailing address. For CRL Promo/Yarn trades, also send us the link to your website or blog that you’ve posted our banner on. I’ll give you a shout out on this blog as an additional thank you for support.

All book and kit prizes will be given away on a first come, first serve basis. When e-mailing Rebecca with your info, also include both your 1st and 2nd choices. You’ll hear from us within 48 hours, if you’ve won something.

Thanks everyone for the enthusiasm towards my podcast. It would rule, if you’d spread the word because this is totally a grass-roots operation. I’m really looking forward though, to the immediacy and creative freedom of this outlet. If all goes well, then maybe I’ll be able to produce future seasons which will give me the opportunity to continue to support other artists, activists and do-it-yourselfers via interviews, reviews, etc. That would rock.

Good luck with the giveaways!

xo,
Vickie

    vickie, i just posted my blog and emailed you. sorry the artwork isn’t showing on my blog. i’ve had trouble with that from the beginning (my blog doesn’t like old navy and knit picks either.) can’t wait to hear the podcasts, you’ve got some great guests lined up!

    I posted the image and link on my blog. Part of the image got cut off, I think it’s the format. Most if it is there. I tested the link, and it does work. I’ve never listened to a knitting podcast, this will be my first. Good luck!

    I had huge problems with the image but I posted on my sidebar as best I could. Love your blog, show, stuff…..etc….

    I am so excited!! YAY!!I don’t have a website or blog but I’m e-mailing everyone I know.Love the banner. I don’t have an MP3 player or Ipod( jeez I sound like I live in the dark ages haha) so I listen to my knitting podcasts on my PC will knitting. I can’t wait to tune into yours!

    Hi Vickie,

    Been low on funds lately, so I stood and read your Knit1 piece at B&N the other night. Terrific interview! Tori and Dean came across so comfortable, a total indication that they were comfortable with you! The idea of a knitting retreat in Fallbrook ROCKS!

    Do you or any of your TooCool blog readers know of any afghan patterns with intarsia/fair isle flames? I want to knit an afghan for the hot (or in this case, cool)Newport Beach firemen that came to my rescue not once, but twice a few months back.

    Thanks!

    That’s awesome!! I just put the link on my blog. Good luck with it and congratulations.

  17. Monet

    I posted a the picture and link on my blog. I sent a link to the e-mail address you have on your blog, but it keeps getting rejected. I promise that I am only trying to link to my blog. Actually, the entire e-mail is:

    I like the book “Just Gifts” and the MuseAbles. Love all the Yarn but really like the Rock “Prince”…I’m a purple and/or pink girl…unless the Autumn colors of Oranges, Browns & Yellows are involved.

    Oh well, love the show, the books, etc…

  22. Kristen

    I published your banner to my blog! Yay! I just started my blog not long ago (and knitting), but I’m hoping it will be something I can devote more time to in the future as I learn more about knitting. Once I buy my new MP3 player, I hope to be able to listen to the podcast! 🙂
