Welcome to my meadow...
This is my very first giveaway and I am so excited!!! I first heard about this from a cute little blog called Rocks in my dryer. There is a catalog of all the blogs participating here.
You are supposed to give away something that is unique to you and so I have chosen to give some handspun alpaca and some handspun merino and a book called Slip-Stitch knitting by Roxana Bartlett.
Here's how to enter:
1. Leave a comment below.
2. In your comment, just tell me why you're interested in that particular prize.
3. Please make sure to leave your correct email address and your blog address (if you have one, if not just make sure I have your email address so I can contact you if you win).
4. You must be willing to send me your snail mail address, if you are a winner.
5. Winners will be notified by email on Monday, November 5th after 5pm PT. Please get back to me with your snail mail address by Wednesday, November 7th or I will have to draw an alternate winner.
6. I am happy to ship to US and Canada.
The best of luck to all! :)

Oh Marmee, Marmee, Marmee... you are a doll to give away such beautiful items!
I'd have to knit a little something for my Grandma, because, sadly, I never have.
Oh this is pretty! I'd love to win. I'm new to knitting but am knitting for my baby granddaughter who is due in Jan.
Thanks for the contest!!
count me in, please!
I love, love, love handspun yarn. But it's always difficult for me to choose. So, it would be great to win some where I don't have to make the decision.
Great giveaway! This is not Mike, however-- it is his wife, Valerie.
Very beautiful yarn! I'd love to try the book, as well!
Thank you!
i learned to knit in college and gave the hobby up. Have been thinking lately I'd like to re-learn and teach my daughter at the same time.
Oh, I have a daughter who loves to knit and I know she'd be in heaven with both the yarns and the book. Sign me up, please!
I have been thinking of learning to knit. I already love crochet. The natural fibers are so appealing.
I have been dying to learn to knit for many, many years! I just don't know where to start! That is why I would love to win, and now my mother in law moved close to us, so she said she could help me learn.
I love knitting, and I love handspun yarn! Please enter me in your drawing. Thank you so much!
Oh, I would love to be entered! I just learned how to knit... I can do hats in the round and that's about it so far, so you see, I could really use the book as well ;)
Thanks!
Please enter me in your drawing. I love handspun yarn!
Oh what a fabulous giveaway!
The yarn looks lovely and I bet it's very soft =)
I'm interested because in my opinion, a gal can't have too much yarn ever or too many knitting books (of course, my husband might just disagree with me LOL!)
Thanks so much for offering this =)
Oh, I love to knit, and would love to try homespun yarn!
Oh my goodness, handspun yarn is the best! I'm a crocheter, aspiring to learn how to knit (I can knit and purl, just not very well). Please count me in!
My daughter would love this! Please include my name in your drawing
Thanks
~Amy
Actually, I mostly crochet, and have been thinking about trying knitting again...not so patient with it...the yarn looks lovely!
I have been itching to knit again. This yarn looks positively amazing.
Great giveaway!

My fiances' mom loves to knit! :)
I like to crochet and my oldest daughter likes to knit.
Oh my gosh! I am learning to knit and obsessed right now. Especially with wintr coming I want some warm knitted goodies for my sons.
I'm dreaming of an alpaca Christmas. . .
my husband and I have just recently been researching alpaca wool and I need to work on my knitting skills!
Oh! I'd love to win this. I'm just starting to knit, and I love it!!
I;ve always wanted to know how to knit.
i am a beginner knitter (as of last winter) & am in love with alpaca (my MIL introduced me to it). as for a knitting book?! that's just awesome! thanks for the offer!
oh goodness, handspun yarn is so expensive! I love love love knitting and crocheting and prefer to use natural fibers. We have a baby on the way and I can't wait to make some yummy things for him/her! Add me please!
I am not a knitter, but I was just telling my friends that I wanted to start - here's my chance!! :)
I love knitting and that yarn looks beautiful (and expensive!). Would love to look at that book ... I haven't seen it before.
I have been looking for some knitting projects! This looks like a wonderful give away!
I am a beginner knitter and saw Alpacas at our state fair. :)
I just started an advance knitting class. I would love this. I hope you make the winner post a pic of their creation.
Count me in, please! Your handspun looks great!
I learned to knit last year, and it quickly became an addiction. I'm a student (and therefore on a budget), so nice yarns are always a treat. The book looks neat, too - I haven't done much colourwork.
This is my kinda give-away! Great stuff!
I would like to learn to knit, and I would love to have homespun yarns.
I would love to learn more about knitting. I learned the basics earilier this year, and then got in over my head when I should have just stuck to getting the basics down pat.
Great giveaway!
I long to be a knitter, I want to wear a pair of my own socks! So count me in. :)
Ohh I love working with wool.
I've also never heard of that particular kniting book. & I usually check out 4-5 knitting tomes from the library each month.

My 11/almost 12-year-old daughter really wants to learn how to knit. This might be just what we're looking for.
Thanks for hosting and come visit my place, too.
I would love to win this because I'm new to knitting and have yet to even touch alpaca yarn much less knit with it. All my knitty friends are having too much fun bragging so I wanna join in on the alpaca yarn fun! lol ;)

I have recently started getting into knitting again. I love wool and other natural fibers. Knitting really is a blissful thing for me.
My daughter is learning to knit. And I would like to get back to it again. afriend@netcommander.com
I have just learned to crochet and would love to make something for myself. I don't own any yarn and feel overwhelmed in the yarn stores. I don't know what to use or what would work. I have felt a blanket made from Alpaca and it was the softest thing I have ever felt.
yarn junkie here!!!!
Please pick me! I have NEVER had the pleasure of knitting with hand spun yarn. Blessings, Patti henbig@aol.com
Yes Please! And Thank you!

I'm a beginner knitter. Made a few baby blankets and that's it. I guess I need more instruction.
My eleven year-old daughter had a friend who taught her how to knit a couple of years ago. This would be a great gift for her to continue learning new skills in a craft she enjoys. I would love to be entered!

I would like to learn more about knitting, I would like to be able to make things/
I am still learning to knit and any extra yarn I can get my hands on would be great!!!
I've just taught myself to knit - I'm a lifelong crochet-er - and I've always looked with longing at the natural fiber yarns. I haven't worked with any yet, though.
I've always wanted to learn to knit and winning this would be a great excuse to finally learn!
I'm a beginning knitter and have been yearning to try the good stuff! Just haven't known where to start. Tossing in my comment for a chance... Thanks!

What a great giveaway, just wonderful. I crochet and attempt to knit... Thank you for entering me. Blessings! ☺
I've just started knitting again. This would be such fun!
Hi - what great prizes. I would love to win any of these because I knit. I would be especially interested in the book because I am a very basic knitter so far. You can see what I am giving away - that I knit - at my blog.
I would love a chance to win this. I used to knit and now I'm going back to it again with all the fabulous yarns out.
I've been trying to learn to knit and would love to win this!
This sounds really great!!! Thanks.

Oh, I would definitely love the yarn! I crochet, I don't knit, so you could give that away as a second prize, but the yarn is beautiful. I've never worked with Alpaca or Merino, so it would be a lot of fun. I'm sure I could make some adorable things from that yarn :)
Please enter me in your giveaway. Thanks! My daughter and I would like to learn knitting.
Either prize is great. Please enter me. Thank you!
I would love to try my hand at using some fancy yarn (that I could never afford myself!).
Ooh I would love a chance to win this, I'm crazy about knitting right now :-)
My mom had the New Year's Resolution to learn to knit in 2006. I know darn well she didn't, so I'd like to give her this to kick her in the fanny to learn! (Not that I know how, but it WAS her resolution, not mine!)
Count me in!
Thanks
I would love this. I have always wanted to learn how to knit, and I know a lady who has said she will teach me.
I love the title of your blog! Count me in PLEASEEEEEEEE!

I would be grateful to receive your giveawy of handspun yarn and a book. I have only knit twice in my life, two simple scarves, one for my husband, one for my sister-in-law. Two scarves which I made with love and gave away. I am in need of a new craft, a new place that I can lose myself in my thoughts while I create something loving for myself. Thanks you for your kindness - what a generous gift!

I love to knit, but have never worked with handspun yarn before. All mine has been from Walmart since I'm on a budget. I'd love to try it out.
I have not mastered knitting yet but I do alot of crocheting. The handspun yarn sounds wonderful!!
I also love your quote from Peter Pan...the one in the sidebar. It's one of my faves! I've bookmarked you and will be back when I have more time to visit!
I would love to win this...knitting is a great stress reliever!
I want to play! :)
knitting! Yes, a great stress reliever - I work for a domestic violence shelter and help with the batterers intervention program - so I NEED stress relievers ;)
So I knit and also write a knitting blog. Way too much fun. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

What a great prize. i love to crochet and want to learn to knit.
Marmee,
I just want to let you know that Simon sent me a message. He is lonely! He said he wants another four legged critter to stand around with. He doesn't care what kind or what gender. He just wants someone to talk to and to listen to him.
What can you do for Simon?
SB
PS He said his new friend's name will be Morgan.
