Part of cleaning out my various knitting baskets/boxes/rooms/stashes… involves finding things that I currently have no use for. A lot of these things are new, some slightly used, none will be damaged. They may or may not include books, patterns, needles, yarn, gadgets, whatever I find and throw in the box by Dec. 31, 2008 will be shipped off to a lucky commenter!
So comment away, just be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you win!
Slipper/boot update. I felted the first part last night. Something went wrong, part of it felted beautifully, part of it not. Remembered I changed yarns halfway through the foot, so tonight, I’ll cut that part out, and sew in another piece, knitted and felted from the same yarn as the rest. Also the fuzzy white yarn at the top? Yeah, not so good. So I’ll maybe spin some white yarn to replace that, or maybe not, depends on how ambitious I get. Stay tuned for more updates!
Don’t forget to comment!

I love giveaways, and I love knitting! Perfect combo!
Sorry you’re having some trouble with those slippers. Hope it works out!
Good luck with the felting! I’ve been wet felting some dreadlocks for a project and the merino wool isn’t cooperating.
I hope I win the stash – I gave most of mine away in the move out and I’m just barely starting over.
Please, count me in.
I love knitting.
I don’t care for felting. I hate seeing all the hard work and beautiful stitches get smooshed.
I am working on my own stitch design for a baby – car seat afghan. I like reversible stitches – where both sides of the item looks nice.

Oh! Please enter me into the knitting giveaway!
Me too! Me too! (Sorry, I’ve been hanging around my kids too much!)
Win or lose, I’ve really enjoyed the posts you’ve given us since taking over this little gem on the Internet.
Felting. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. They should call it animal fleece-based karma experience, don’t you think?
Wow! What a generous gift for one lucky knitter!
I probably need to clean out my “junk,” but I’d really love to get some of your “stuff!”
I always find that getting rid of things I no longer use always energizes me, for some reason. Count me in for the giveaway. I’m not a knitter…yet, so if you have anything that could get a beginner started…pick me.
Yeah! Giveaway just in time for the holidays!:-)
merry christmas and happy giveaway!
squiggi@earthlink.net, by the way.
I use so many leftover pieces of yarn as I do picture knitting (intarsia) and make up cushions and wallhangings. At times you really only need a small amount of a colour to finish up a project but have to go out and buy a full ball to do it. I would love to take up your leftovers and they would be put to good use.
Haven’t tried felting yet, it sems to have a learning curve that has me daunted so far. I’d love to be entered for the giveaway.
A mystery giveaway – involving fiber goodness – what better way to start the new year? Thanks!
I sympathize with the felting not working! I just ripped out (3rd time) a cowl/hood for my mother-im-law! This time it will not be twisted, too tight, or too stiff!
I’d love to get some of your excess knitting stuff- please enter me.
Thanks and luck.
yippee! yay for fluff! our family has moved cross country 3 times in the last6 months (lotsa. moving. yep, military.), and i have not been able to find a good yarn shop yet. i would LOVE to get what you don’t need, as i am currently suffering from new yarn withdrawal. thanks for the chance at this!
I just felted my very first hat… and I love it! And I love stuff….
Please add me to the drawing — free stuff –gotta love that!!!
I’d love to be entered into the drawing!
I crochet and want to get into knitting. It’d be great to get a head start on it.
