Friday Contest

It is Friday, so let's have a contest!
I will give one person their choice of any pdf pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com. In addition, I will give them a copy of my "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble Doily" pattern, pictured above. I will select the winner at random, and send out the patterns in the morning (Saturday.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back in the morning to see if you won. 
Also, if you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.)
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question: 
Have you ever become so frustrated (or confused, or fed up) with a crochet project that you just gave up on it? I have a friend (hi, Pamela!) who has actually cut doilies up with scissors when she got frustrated with them. 

This contest is now closed. 

Please check back next Friday for my weekly contest.

And the Winner Is:

Patti-Rocky Mtn Stitcher


Patti, if you will send me an email and let me know which pattern you would like, I will get it right out to you. 
I am still mourning the loss of America's Best crochet thread; it was my favorite for years. When I heard that the mill was being sold and that the thread would no longer be manufactured, I stocked up on some of my favorite colors (mostly the greens.) 

I now mainly use Aunt Lydia's, or one of the other Coats/Red Heart brands of size 10 thread. I order it online, since I am very limited (as are most of you, it seems!) in the colors I can find locally. 
Thanks to everyone for entering!

Friday Contest

It is a beautiful Autumn Friday, so let's have a contest!

I will give one person their choice of any pdf pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com. I will select the winner at random, and send out the pattern on Monday morning (I will be out of town this weekend, so the contest will run a little longer than usual.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back on Monday morning to see if you won. 
Also, if you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.)
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question: 
Do you have a favorite brand of thread you always use, or do you use whatever brand  that comes in  the colors you need? I often find myself limited by the selection of  colors available. 

This contest is now closed. 

Please check back next Friday for my weekly contest.

I was thinking of changing the contest so that it runs all weekend every week. What do you think?  It would give more people time to enter.

Thanks to everyone who entered!
