Yet Another Contest

My kids go to a great school. They have a few fundraisers per year and that way the children don't have to sell wrapping paper or other things people don't really want/need. There's the Fall Festival, the Winter Dance (which both my boys went to and danced The Robot all night long!) and the Spring Fling.

The Spring thing has a silent auction. My friend Rachel and I are on the committee to collect items for this auction. The mayor of our town is emceeing it this year so it should have a really good turnout.

Purls of Wisdom has donated a yarn basket with a pattern for a felted bag, the yarn to make it, needles and instruction. Yarnarts has donated a knitting kit.

I thought it would also be nice to have a big yarn bouquet to auction off. So here's my contest idea. Dig through your stash and send me yarn. Good stuff - I'm not normally a yarn snob but this is for my boys so snobbish I shall be (this time). Nothing you can get at the big chain stores.

For every 200 yards you send you will get one entry to this contest. What's the prize?

The Medallion Bag (that's a Ravelry link):

This pattern and enough yarn to make it in the colors of your choice! And, of course, the obligatory Stitch Saver of your choice!

My address is:

And the contest is open until May 10. After that I will have a drawing for the winner.

Fundraising fool, Ruth!
