I'm a little bit early with this as I wanted to get it posted before I go back to work as I'm pretty sure I am going to be innudated with assignments to correct and once I am doing that I'll be totally distracted.
I already have this book but Amazon got things a bit mixed up when I ordered it and sent me two so I kept the spare one back precisely for this occasion, although the 100th post has taken a bit longer arriving than I had thought. I am sure some of you crocheters out there will agree that it is a handy book to have .....there are a great many lovely motifs to choose from,the instructions are very clear and are also accompanied by an easy to follow diagram. If you would like to see them made up pop over to Linda's Crafty Corner blog as she has been going through the book from A to Z.....her real life samples will give you a good idea what each finished item is like.
The above book is part of my 100th post giveaway but I shall be adding a few more bits to it as well such as a.......and another a........ which you'll be able to see on another post...or posts.
The giveaway is open to everyone on this world and off,
- however you should be a follower of my blog , that is having signed on via Google friend connect and also
- name one of your New Year resolutions and why.
The giveaway finishes on the 6th January ....the King's Day (The twelfth day of Christmas). The Spanish hand out their second round of gifts or rather the three kings leave the gifts under the tree on the Eve of the King's Day.
The winner will be chosen using the sophisticated Method of all names go into the BOWL!
this time Sr P will not be asked to choose the winner but my grand-daughter who will be here with us on that night.
There you have it FUNTIME isn't over yet!
Amanda :-)
Amanda, what a sweet giveaway. I want to be entered, please. When I do my post later today, I will add your giveaway to my post. I'll come back and let you know. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year a little bit early. :)

Amanda, I posted earlier today and mentioned your giveaway. I hope you have a lot of entries. (Personally, I hope you don't as I would really, really like that book, but I'm trying to be nice.) :)
ReplyDeleteSharon
Looks like I jumped the gun a bit. I didn't see the resolution part. I don't do resolutions but I've decided to do intentions. I hope to (intend to) do at least one random act of kindess a month. I think this poor old world could use some more kindess in it and I want to do my part. :)
DeleteThats ok Sharon I have entered you twice and thanks for the mention on your blog.
DeleteA xx
Oops! I missed this :( I just ordered the same book two days back after seeing so much hype on the blogs eventhough I have many motif books.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 100 th post :)
My new year resolution is to spend more time with my daughter. Recently I have been doing too much of crafty things on the pretext of 'me time' and reduced playing board games with her. I of course don't neglect my motherly duties but have cut that extra playtime which I want yo glue it back into our life:))
Hi Amanda, Congratulations on your 100+ posts. What a wonderful giveaway, I have been drooling over this book for a long time. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope to win it. I have already posted a link on my blog.
ReplyDeleteMy new resolution will be to lose some weight (atleast 7-8 kilos, I hope). :)
How I wish that crochet helped with weight loss!!
Have a nice day.
Love.
I'd be crocheting all day Sangeetha if crochet helped with weight loss!!!

Oooooooh that looks like such a wonderful resource book, Amanda. You have so recently generously gifted me I am not sure you should put my name in that beautiful bowl of yours, but I am following your blog :) Now as for a resolution...uhhhhh...I am resolved to finish the blanket, hat, and socks I have on various needles. Whew...that was hard to type. Joy to you and yours,

Hallo Amanda!Came to wish you Happy Hollidays and a Happy New year with your family!Thank you for your kind comment on my blog!
ReplyDeleteDimi..
Congratulations on the 100th post. I do so love me a little Give Away. xxx
ReplyDeleteMy New year Resolutions, hmmmmm, I have a few this year. I would like to give more 'Hand Made Gifts' next Christmas and that involves some planning and in my case starting very early and pacing myself throughout the year. I also intend to be using fibre/fleece and yarn stash that I already have. Also I have Work in progress that really needs completing! Don't we all?
Thank you for mentioning my blog Amanda I will post about your give-away on my blog, Good luck to everyone who enters it's a great prize! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Amanda! I would like a shot at your giveaway so please toss me into the bowl : )
ReplyDeleteMy resolution is to learn how to knit, but I have been saying this for the last two years. Someday.....
I'm not a crocheting person...last year's efforts were a bit of a failure...but I can knit so maybe the wool would be better for me. But if the book is really REALLY simple then maybe that would be good. You choose, Amanda. I'm not making any NYR but I do want to continue to lose weight. Bonnes Fetes de fin d'année!
ReplyDeleteJust jumping in again Amanada would love to enter for that lovely yarn Amanda beautiful colours you are so generous for giving it away :)

ReplyDeleteMy resolution for next year...More time crafting...Less time online...Wish me luck!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway. I have that book and it is marvellous, well written and the instructions for the motifs are easy to follow. I don't normally do resolutions but this year (next weekend) I am moving into a new house and my resolution is to start a vegetable garden.
ReplyDeletexXx Helen
Thanks for the option! Now it's the yarn for me .. You are very kind indeed :)
ReplyDeletePlease count me in for the yarn ! Thanks for the additional giveaway. I have definitely a chance now to enter :)
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm one of the last people to not own the book! =) I'd love to be added in the drawing for that.
ReplyDeleteNo New Year's resolutions this year. I have a bad track record! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely give away I would love to be added for book drawing. As my confidence in my ability to crochet grows so should my ability to make new things. My new years resolution? hmm I usually don't make one but this year I would like to take more pics for my blog and blog more and correctly.I also included a link at my blog here.
http://inconsistantly.blogspot.com/
Fantastic! Congrats on your 100th post. I don't do New Year's resolutions, they are too transient for me. But I have resolved this year to complete one complicated large crochet project for myself. I have picked an afghan stitch blanket with a butterfly worked into it. Good luck in 2013!
ReplyDeleteMel's Daisy Patch sent me on over and I am glad I came! I am lucky number 151 on your list of followers via google friend connect.
ReplyDeleteI would love the yarn.
My new year's resolution is to lose 15 pounds because my doctor says I need to in order to get pregnant. My DH and I really want to have kids in 2013 so I will do whatever is necessary to make that happen!
What a lovely giveaway Amanda and I dont have this book so count me in :o) Yahoo!! One of my new years ressies is to decorate the house as it has been somewhat wrecked by the builders...daunting but do-able (maybe...with a little help!) Hope you have had a fabulous Christmas and have a wonderful NY too...lots of love xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway, I would love to win the yarn. My New Years resolution is to lose 80 pounds. I also plan on walking 30 min a day on my treadmill (enough of it being a clothes hanger).
ReplyDeleteOh Amanda, how generous of you and what a lovely way to ring in the New Year.....if I was so lucky to win I would go for the yarn as I already have the book, thank you, thank you, thank you. Hope your early days back at work are not too busy.
ReplyDeletexx Sandi
What a lovely giveaway Amanda... I have been wanting this book all year, but have not found it! Now that would be lovely to win it :) Thanks for doing such a nice giveaway right when the year begins. As for my resolution this year it's to exercise, doing my yoga preferably, and not have more than 3 projects on my needles... So I can enjoy each one more fully. Thanks again ( and ill post a link to your giveaway omy log tomorrow).
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda - thanks so much for joining us. I was so proud at how keen my children were to do this. XXX
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family. I would love to win this book. I'm always looking to improve my crochet skills! My main new year resolution is to only use cruelty-free products that have not been tested on animals and carry the leaping bunny logo. Maggie xx
ReplyDeleteHi, I just came across your site and what a lovely site it is! The book looks like awesome fun! My New Year's resolution is try to be a more positive person this year, in the field that I work in it is so easy to get so down and bitter and I don't like the person that makes me. So yes, more positive. Happy New Year to you!

What a lovely idea Amanda. I would be grateful to win either of your giveaways. The book looks so interesting and I love the colours of the yarn. My resolution last year was to learn to crochet and I've made a start. This year I want to enter Stocki's great blanket challenge. I so envied those who were able to do it last year. I would also like to be able to expand the things I can actually make. Hope your New Year will be full of health and happiness. Joan
ReplyDeleteCount me in the bowl for this lovely giveaway! I would love to win the yarn and turn them in to socks :-) One of my resolutions this year is to sit and read the lord of the rings as I have heard they are a challenge to read and I like a challenge.

Hi Amanda
ReplyDeleteFirstly can I say a big thank you for all your lovely comments on my blog in 2012, each and every one is read and appreciated. Secondly, a very blessed and happy New Year to you and yours for 2013 and thirdly WOW what a brilliant give away. Please could you enter my name in the bowl for the book. One I have always seen but don't have, thank you. I'm not very good at resolutions in the new year but one of my goals is to knit something a little more intricate ie lacy and secondly to do some more yarn bombing! Hopefully a crocheted bombed piece this time :o) xox Penelope
Congratulations! I'm a follower (susand1408 crochet addict) and my news year resolution is to make none and not to put pressure on myself :-).

Hi Amanda
ReplyDeleteSorry but I'm not sure where to sign up as a follower, is it the email follwer link in your left hand side bar? xP
Hello Amanda,
ReplyDeleteYour giveaway image and link to your blog are posted on my blog for many days now but I had forgotten to tell you !!!
On this occasion, I wish you a very happy new year, full of joy and good health for you and all your family !
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter your giveaway, please? One of my resolutions is to sort out the many boxes of things we have in the loft since we moved to this house. Get rid of things we don't need or use is liberating and I am really looking forward to do it as soon as my little one's bday weekend is over. :D
Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

What a plonker I am I didn't look on the right hand side Amanda as I was using my daughter's netbook which has a small screen and so I didn't scroll to the right! All done now :o) x
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Ha! ...its ages since I've heard the expression...what a plonker!!! The same happens to me when I use my netbook the webpages are too big for the screen.
DeleteA xx
Hi Amanda, happy 100th + posts. Oh what a lovely giveaway, I would very much like to join in please and my preference would be the book as I don't have that many crochet books. Wow, resolutions, you know my best resolution is to stick to not making resolutions but I tend to think of something new to do rather than a resolution and this year it is to play the ukulele. I'm off to a slow start but I'll stick with it!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, x
Hi Amanda, I've just become your newest follower and would love to be entered into your fab giveaway, the yarn looks gorgeous, but I would love the book more, so please pop my name in the bowl for the book!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to commit to anything too stressful for 2013, however I'm determined to do somereading this year, as ashamedly I just don't read at all....now to find the time!
A great giveaway Amanda:) Congratulations on your 100th post. I would love to be entered because I don't have that particular book! One of my new years resolutions...to take more photos of my loved ones, places I visit, yarn....! I have a good camera phone now so I have no excuse ;) have a great night tomorrow with your family and I hope the Reyes bring you lots of lovely gifts. Elisabeth xx
