500 Fan Giveaway #1 : So You Wanna Be A Hooker...

This contest is now closed, thank you!

Welcome to Day 1 of my HUGE 500 FAN GIVEAWAY!  I'm so excited to have some of my very favorite vendors included in this one.  I thought it only appropriate, as a crocheter, to have a crochet inspired portion of my giveaway extravaganza!  Below you will find all the things you need to get started on a project of your own.  Take a minute to look through everyones shops.  The talent will astound you!

Inner Hooker: Store/Facebook

Inner Hooker is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!  She writes the best patterns, so easy to follow and very beginner friendly.  She's got a wonderful facebook page and is very interactive with her fans.  Have a question?  She will gladly help you out, and if you post on her page you'll get advice from a bunch of other talented ladies as well :)  We're a happy hookin' community!

3 patterns of your choice!

Fyrestorm Creations: Store/Facebook

Fyrestorm Creations is my go-to place for stitch makers.  Sure you can buy some cheap ones from Michael's (and I have) but they are BORING and get lost soooo easily.  She can do any of her designs with claw closures for crochet or enclosed for knitting.  While you're browsing her shop, be sure to check out her wine glass charms, bottle cap necklaces and awesome bracelets as well!

1 set of stitch markers (knit or crochet), you chose the style!  

Pumpkin Creek Hats: Store/Facebook

Pumpkin Creek Hats (aka Heartstrings by Dee) constantly amazes me with the things she pulls off her wheel.  Hand dyed and spun, her thick and thin yarn is a dream to work with.  Those huge puffs make for the softest little baby hats, like little clouds for their heads lol.  I recently acquired some of her single ply yarn as well and it is just as fabulous!!  You cannot go wrong with something from her shop.

Hurricane Hooks: Store

Hurricane hooks is owned by a very talented man named David, who hails from my own home state of Ohio!  I stumbled upon him last fall on Etsy and practically cleared him out of his stock of beautifully hand crafted wooden crochet hooks.  I think I have 3 or 4 so far...seriously I've lost track...and hope to someday have an entire collection.  I love the feel of a wooden hook, its warms to your hand and is a bit more pliable than a standard aluminum hook.

And of course, it wouldn't be a complete package without something from me so, I'm throwing in one of these awesome crochet hook cases!  You can chose the 2 colors you want and I'll chose a matching button for the closure.  I use my daily and as you can see you can fit a LOT of hooks in this bad boy!  Please excuse the bad photos, my good ones have wondered off my laptop when I wasn't looking ;) (hooks not included)
