I have a post full of lots of great, fun stuff to give away — all of it generously donated by firefly of I Live on a Farm.
firefly has been an online buddy of mine since she started her blog a few years ago. Yesterday I got a big box of goodies from her — some for me and Lucy, and a whole bunch to give away to my readers.
First up, a whole whack of patterns — a nice assortment of patterns to knit pretty Christmas stockings, a scarf, a hat, some very cute bags, and her biscuit blanket. You can check out her patterns for sale online here on her website or in her etsy shop. They are printed in full color with clear photos, and step-by-step instructions.
And second, a kit to knit her biscuit blanket. Check out the link to read about it and see what’s included.
She very kindly send me a completed biscuit blanket as a gift.
As you can see, this is lovely, but what you can’t see is how soft the cotton yarn is.
Would you like to be entered in the drawing for a chance to win a pattern, or for one lucky person, the Biscuit Blanket Kit? Leave a comment on THIS post by noon eastern time on Sunday, December 12, 2010 to be entered in the drawing. (Entries sent via the “Contact Me” link or emailed to me will not be included in the drawing.) If you are unsure of how to leave a comment, check out the tutorial on how to leave a comment in the right-hand sidebar of my blog.
Lucy sez:
“firefly sent me a present too but Momma told me I have to wait til Christmas to open it. I’m sulking.”
Meanwhile, back at denim central, I am plugging along on my second sleeve. I have high hopes of finishing this sweater this weekend.
Anyhow, if you would like to be entered in the drawing for the lovely items firefly has so generously donated, leave a comment!
I’d love to win a pattern or the kit, thank you both for the opportunity!
The sweater looks fantastic! Always nice to see what is on your needles. Thanks!
The patterns look fantastic

I love Firefly’s blog! I would love to be in the drawing for these items.
My sister has made several of the biscuit blankets, and they always look beautiful. Maybe if I had the pattern or kit I would do the same!
That biscuit blanket is so cute. At first I asked myself, “what is a biscuit blanket?”. Now I see. It is really unique.
That is very generous of her! What a lovely surprise to get in the mail

The biscuit blanket is so cute. Please enter me in this giveaway!
Thanks for another great contest. I would really like to win a kit.
The kit looks cool! Thanks for a chance to win!
I too would love to have the patterns or the kit! Great stuff, I’m going to go check out her Etsy site now!
My biscuits need a blanket! I can’t believe you’re making Lucy wait till Christmas for her present. I’m calling the ASPCA.
What I really want is your denim sweater when you are done with it. But I would be equally thrilled with one of the other prizes.
Firefly is so generous! I would love to be part of the giveaway! Your sweater is so nice! I can’t wait to see it finished and washed/dryed. I’m very curious of this process.
Oh I would love to win this. I’ve seen the biscuit blanket pattern a few times what a great gift it would make.
mmmm….biscuit blanket…finally, a calorie-free biscuit! Nicky and Nuala say…Please count our momma in…she likes to keep the house too cold as well and we only have 5 or 6 places to snuggle in that are specifically for us (not counting her), so we’d like her to knit more stuff for us.
Thank you for the chance to win!
Another great giveaway thanks for having it. I can’t wait to see your sweater when its done it looks great so far.
Rae´s last [type] ..Still saying huh
I wasn’t sure I would like the denim sweater – I’ve seen the yarn before, but not knit into something this pretty! Loving how it looks, and loving the three needle bindoff join.
Lucy has such personality
Thanks to both of you for a chance to win!
I felt peaceful just thinking about “things from the farm”. Thanks for sharing it all!
The biscuit blanket is darling. It would make a fantastic Christmas gift!

How sweet of firefly. Plus your making good progress on your sleeve. What a wonderful day.
I’d love to be entered! it took me a minute to figure out what a Biscuit Blanket is, thought it was referring to the lovely neutral color…but then I’m a little slow sometimes! Can’t wait to see that Denim sweater modeled!
Love your sweater and would love an opportunity to have the biscuit blanket pattern/kit
Well I know my luck and likely wont win but I would love to win something everything looks great
Ooh! I’d like to win a prize! Thanks to you both for your generosity!

I’ve heard of bread cloths, but never heard the term biscuit blanket. I’d love to be in the drawing. Thanks Wendy and firefly

Don’t sulk Lucy. You’d be sad if there weren’t any surprise treats on Christmas day! (At least that what I tell myself to stop from ransacking my husband closet ; )
How awesome to be able to pass on the goodies! Count me in!

Thanks for sharing new designers for us knit a holics- or stash a holics– or pattern a holics. Hope I can add one more to the collection. Happy Holidays. Sub freezing weather in SC has us inside knitting wool.
Love a fun holiday giveaway!
The biscuit blanket is so unusual and fun. I also really like that Cuppa Joe set. I need more handwarmers and, um, matching sets. Thanks for introducing me to a new (to me) designer. Please enter me in the drawings.
I love any giveaways!!!!!!!!!!
Super cute cotton knitting.
Please enter me for the drawing! Thanks!
I’d love to be entered!
I like how Lucy has an ear turned toward the camera, like she’s checking to make sure you’ve noticed she’s ignoring you! I love cats.

Would love the opportunity to knit one of firefly’s designs.
Oh, I love her beautiful patterns! I think I saw that biscuit keeper on Ravelry and thought it would make great gifts!
I love the way your sweater changes colors with the time of day…light and so on…cant think of which color I like best but the last sleeve on this post is right up there….
Count me in! I’m always looking for new projects.

I’ve really enjoyed following your denim adventure. It’s left me wanting to knit a sweater with denim yarn.

What a cute blanket! I love how it folds up. It’d be great to win the kit!
Who doesn’t love a great giveaway?? The sweater looks beautiful, and warm. We could all use sweaters like that here in central Wisconsin. The temp at present is 14 degrees.
