And the winner is . . . .

Would Joan Robertson and Dannie-K118 please send your email addresses to me at Stitch_n_Frog@mchsi.com so that I can send the patterns to you?

Since there were only your two comments, I decided to declare the drawing a Tie and give both patterns to both of you~

Happy Hooking!

Do you ever want to keep an eye on someone?

If so, now is your chance!  To win the pattern for my Bloodshot Eyeball, so you can keep an eye on someone, AND a pattern for my OctoGottcha, leave a comment and a winner will be randomly chosen Monday morning.

The Bloodshot Eyeball is a hacky sack with "blood vessels" hanging from the back of the eyeball. It is approximately 6 inches across, and when filled with synthetic fiberfill, is lightweight.

 

The OctoGottcha looks like an Octopus, but it steals the brain of whoever's head it is placed on. It then puts those brains into their child's head, so please warn the recepient to be very careful not to put it on an animal's head, because he/she will then be given animal brains by their OctoGottcha!

And we don't want to find our children out chasing cars or sprinkling on water hydrants!

A Winner will be chosen early monday morning~

Sybil's Knit Slippers

My dear Mother-in-love taught me to make these knit slippers soon after hubby and I were married.  I've made them for the entire family through the years, more than one pair.  They are comfortable, and warm. They can be below the ankle, to/above the ankle, or up the calf as high as you want.

Grab a pair of needles and make some for yourself, you'll love them!
