How About a Contest?

I haven't had a contest in a while, since I have been trying to add a new free pattern every week or so. I have 3 new free patterns that I am working on right now and plan to release here on the blog in the next few weeks, but for today, how about a contest?
 I will give one person their choice of any PDF pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com or  my Etsy shop bellacrochetEtsy
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. If I do not hear back from the winner within 7 days, I will select a new winner. Failure to contact me within 7 days  will result in the forfeiture of all prizes. 
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.) You can also leave your email address with your comment so I can notify you if you win, but this is optional. 
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question:
Did you make any crochet-related New Years resolutions?
This contest is now closed. Please stop by again soon!

    I resolve to finish one WIP from past years every month this year. I'm not at all sure I can get it done, but hey, it's a start.

    I resolved to crochet something for me at least once a month. I make so many things for charity and what I want always goes on the back burner.

    Hi Ann, I have this terrible habit of looking for just the right pattern, or looking for a certain pattern, that when I do I make a real mess by leaving all the notebooks out and scattered on the floor or chair. I also have a terrible time putting the patterns up when I get finished with them so they remain in a pile. I may put them up once every 2 or 3 months..so my goal this year is to be a responsible adult and put things back where they belong...I will let you know how that is going.. Have a great weekend.

    Yes, indeed. To not give up on the doily that's been flummoxing me and also to finish the shawl I've started as a cousin's wedding gift (and not cave in and buy her something instead). Since I've got all the reasons in the world to distract me, I need all the resolution I can get.

    I will not purchase any more yarn or thread until I have depleted some of my closet full of stash! Already broke it, needed some yarn for a baby hat and didn't have the right gauge yarn! Lol

    No I didn't never keep them so why do it. But I really need to finish up a lot of stuff I started. Lol I am looking for a pattern to do something special for my sister. She did something really great for me so need something to show her how much I care. Well I am off to find it. Love your patterns.

    I've promised not to collect anore patterns until I've made many of the ones that I have and get rid of the rest of them. I've been making a lot of things for others this month because even though I like the patterns, they're just not my style. I do want to crochet socks with fine lace weight yarn too.
