Sixth Blog Anniversary Giveaway

Today is my sixth blog anniversary. Little did I know when I started blogging, over seven years ago actually when I started my first blog, the pleasure it would bring. My blog is a great way to record things which happen but on top of that, the interaction with other bloggers is fantastic, I've made many friends along the way.

I always have a little giveaway on my blog anniversaries and this year is no different.

I know that many of my readers enjoy my knitting and crochet posts so I thought I'd include some yarn in this year's giveaway. Yarndale is coming up again soon and as I haven't yet used any of the lovely yarn I bought from there last year, I thought I'd give you the chance to win one of my purchases. This is Manos Silk Blend Fino from Manos Del Uruguay. This 50g skein is a luxury soft blend of 70% Extra Fine Merino and 30% Silk, it's silky soft to the touch. It comes in Juniper colourway, a beautiful rich teal.


I'm sure that many of you enjoy a cuppa whilst knitting or hooking, often first thing in the morning whilst contemplating the day ahead, so also in the parcel will be a tin of Whittard's of Chelsea English Breakfast Tea. The Union Jack tin contains 50 tea bags to keep you going.


You can't have yarn and tea without a bit of chocolate. Green & Black's is my favourite and this Treat Collection contains a selection of six miniature bars.


The giveaway is open to followers of this blog, old and new, who leave a comment on this post by midday on Wednesday the 7th of September 2016, after which, a winner will be drawn at random.

Thank you to everyone who pops by and reads my ramblings, especially those who leave comments, you're all very much appreciated and you make this blogging lark so much fun.

  1. Many good wishes for your sixth blog anniversary. I always enjoy my visits to your blog... and I do agree you can meet (virtually speaking) some great people.
    Your give away looks lovely and will be appreciated by the winner, but please do not include my name - I just enjoy visiting to see what your post and so often photo's will be about.

    Good wishes to you and your family for a fantastic September, special thoughts to Eleanor as she starts at Uni.

    All the best Jan

  12. Well, congratulations on 6 years, Jo! Time flies, doesn't it? Like you, I so enjoy both the journal that blogging provides and the friendships that develop.

    Such wonderful gifts - I LOVE the yarn. In fact, would you believe that I purchased a hank of that EXACT same yarn in the colourway "Patina" (which also happens to be blue) at a Knitters Fair last year...so it seems that we have yarny tastes in common too!

  22. Happy blogoversary Jo. I am amazed actually, usually my long absences mean I miss out on all your wonderful give-a-ways and yet this year it seems like I got my butt into gear again just in time...and what a wonderful selection too. With the season slowly changing I will have more time for knitting and crochet and as a true Brit I love my tea....but it's not just the tea...what a wonderful tin it is in. As for green and blacks chocolate...the best thing about that is the hubby and son don't like it...not sweet enough!! Of course I don't expect to actually win but it's nice to be in with a chance for a change!!

  26. A very generous giveaway Jo. That tin would look great with the red white and blue scheme for the attic room, the yarn would be handy and chocolate is always welcome, particularly when it's in lovely little treat sized packs.
