So, to recap, that’s the Frozen Lake Wool of the Andes Sport Sampler (6 balls), an adorable Llamarama Tall Mug, an equally cute Llamarama Steel Pencil Case, the Inspiring Mandalas Coloring Book, the Lullaby – Aloft Sampler (4 balls), a Yarn Valet Yarn Bowl, a tin of Love + Leche Anywhere Balm – Lavender Mint, a pack of Locking Stitch Markers, & finally, the Pansy Posie Swish DK Sampler (6 balls). That’s a lot of stuff!
The retail price would be $118.69, but you have the chance to win it all for free!
First off, anyone can win, anywhere in the world. I’ll ship it wherever you are!
The giveaway starts when this post goes live (Monday, April 11, 2016), and will go through Sunday, April 24, 2016, ending at 6:00 pm EST. At that time the winner will be drawn randomly and notified via e-mail, with 24 hours to respond. If the winner doesn’t respond by Monday, April 25, 2016 at 6:00 pm EST, I will draw another winner, who will then have 24 hours, etc. The winner will be announced here on Not Your Average Crochet as soon as they have responded to me via email with their shipping address.
Remember, if all three steps have not been completed, you will not be entered!
Also, please keep in mind that if you are a new commenter on my blog I will have to verify your comment before it will appear below, but you are entered once you submit your comment, so there is no need to comment twice! 🙂
Good luck everyone, and happy Spring!

After over 4 years of waiting, my husband finally has his cushion cover:
The cushion cover definitely did NOT reach 28″ x 28″ (the size of the pillow insert), but it is stretchy and the insert was easy enough to get inside.
I love the texture of this pattern. It looks cool but it feels pretty neat, too, even in 100% acrylic yarn (I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby).
I forgot to take a picture of the back, but I seamed the sides to where the ends of the cover overlap, like a pillow sham. No buttons needed!
Chris likes it; it’s big and squishy and the pattern is the same as a large blanket his great-aunt made for him (just in different colors — she used solid red, white, & blue). It fits well on our daybed-turned-couch.
Now it’s time to work on the 8+ other WIPs I have going on before starting anything new.
It’s also time for something special to happen here on Not Your Average Crochet — stay tuned for something exciting!
Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!
Guess what I got today in the mail?
Just published on March 15th, this book has the cutest home decor items:
pie seat cushion
birthday cake toilet paper roll cover
donut ottoman/pouf
Aren’t they adorable?!?! Now of course I’m still keeping my New Year’s Resolution not to buy yarn (which makes me want to clap for myself), but I can plan larger projects for the future and maybe do some of the smaller ones with what I have laying around in my stash. We’ll have to see!
Also, I got this book in the mail yesterday:
I’m really excited about this, too — already the forward and introduction are speaking to me, so I can’t wait to get to chapter 1! This was recommended to me by my therapist and I think it’s going to be very useful.
Well, that’s all for today, just wanted to share those with you! Thanks for stopping by!
It’s coming along nicely!
Although actually at this point I’ve continued this pattern and done 6 more additional stripes — it was just too hard to get a good photo because it’s getting really long! I’m going to overlap the ends so that the pillow insert can be put in just like a sham pillowcase, and hopefully I won’t need to bother with buttons or anything.
In other news, I’ve started therapy and it’s going well so far! My next appointment is in 2 days, and I’m excited. I like the therapist and think it’s really going to be a good experience.
Also, I’m a little embarrassed to share this but I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign in an attempt to get some Wing Chun practice equipment for my home. As I mentioned in previous posts the only class offered anywhere close to my city is on Saturdays, so even though I go to that class for the rest of the week I can’t really practice, even though I want to very much. Unfortunately the equipment I need is expensive, hence the campaign; I don’t think I can save enough for it myself unless I want to wait like 10 years. I feel a bit… un-classy asking for donations, but since it would benefit both my physical and mental health greatly I think it’s an important investment to make, and I am thus trying to lay my pride aside for a bit and ask for some help. Even if I don’t make enough through the campaign to purchase the equipment now, any money raised will go into savings specifically towards purchasing the equipment later. If anyone is interested in donating or learning more about the campaign, please click here. I’d appreciate it to no end.
Well, that’s all for today everyone, thanks for stopping by! See you soon, hopefully with a completed cushion cover!
