Weekly Giveaway #21 (two prizes!)
Hello again,
This week, I'm happy to be offering two prizes.
The first comes to us courtesy of the Creativ Festival: another pair of day passes and vouchers for two classes for the crafts and needlework festival, which will be held in Toronto the weekend of October 16-18. Between the vendors, the classes, the opportunities to mix and mingle with other crafters, this is a great place to stock up on inspiration in the run-up to the Christmas season. (Check in tomorrow to see some information about the quilting aspect of the festival!)
The second prize, which I'm offering to Make+Do readers who live too far from Toronto to travel in for the show, is a copy of this beautiful book, "Knitted Socks East and West." Inspired by a host of Japanese influences, you'll find all sorts of socks in this book, and I guarantee that they'll challenge both your knitting skills and your conception of what a sock really is. I've spent a couple lunch hours poring over this book – it's beautiful!
For your chance to win, leave a comment on this post telling me which prize you'd like. Entries will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 27; a winner will be posted on Monday, September 28.
Good luck!

Though I would love to go to the festival, I won't be in Toronto that weekend (I live 4 hours away). So, the book would be awesome, as I am going to be making socks for Christmas presents. New ideas are always welcomed!

September 23rd, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I'd love the Creative Festival passes. I will be there for sure so free passes will give me more money to shop at the show

I'd love to win the book. While I'd dearly love to come to the show, I don't think my hubby would appreciate me taking a 12 hour road trip!
September 25th, 2009 at 10:00 am
My beleaguered feet would love that sock book. But if we win, they'll have to broker their own deal with my hands however.
