Thanks Melynda for answering the goofy questions! You were a good sport! If this is your first time seeing Melynda on my blog, I highly recommend checking out her first interview with me in giveaway #5 and taking a look at her beautiful patterns that she currently offers. Melynda is a very talented knitwear designer and everyone loves her ever so popular French Press Felted Slippers. More than 10,000 people on Ravelry heart that pattern!
Now for the giveaway, Melynda's brand spankin' new pattern! Check out the cutest baby booties you have ever seen... the 3-in-1 Felted Booties!
In honor of the new pattern, Melynda is hosting the giveaway for three lucky winners to receive a copy of her newest bootie pattern and one skein of Patons Classic Wool in a color of their choice, which is enough yarn for about 4 pairs of booties. Here's a pic of all the colors to choose from:
I would like you to do the following if you would like to be entered into this week's giveaway:
1) Have an address in the US to ship the yarn to. If you have a friend or relative that has a US mailing address who is willing to be your shipping sponsor, that will work as well. I will send it to them and they can then forward it on to you.
2) Post a comment on this blog post by the end of Sunday, 4/25/2010. Leave a nice comment for Melynda to read. Tell her what you think of the bootie pattern.
3) Please post only one comment to give everyone a fair chance.
Again, I'll randomly pick the winners on Sunday and post the results on Monday along with the new giveaway, so be sure to check back. Good luck everyone.
Sincerely,
Ve

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 221 of 221I have friends and colleagues who are either having babies or have just had a baby -- there's so much fun knitting to do for them all. Melynda, your baby booties would be the perfect match with a couple of little sweaters I've made! They're unique, unlike anything I've found in my pattern books. Thank you for doing the giveaways, and my fingers are crossed that I'm lucky enough to win one.
It's so nice to see a pattern with different strap options. I've never thought about felting baby booties before, but my best friend just had her first child and these just might be her next present from me!
Lovely pattern, and I certainly need a new project as I am stuck with a broken foot...I'd love to make booties for a friend who is due any day.
These are the m-o-s-t adorable booties!! I have a little grandaughter that would look positively adorable in these. How creative!! Best of luck and fingers crossed:)
Such cute booties! I LOVE that there are options. Great for shower gifts.
Melynda's style shows through-elegant and cute at the same time. Thanks
Too cute - these booties would look PERFECT on my nephew! They are just adorable. Great design!
I'm naughtknots over on Rav
These are great! A wonderful present alone or with a matching outfit they ROCK!!
I am at the point in my life where my friends are becomming grandparents. There's lots of baby shower knitting in my future and these booties would be perfect!
Lovely little booties! Will you also be publishing a pattern for men's felted slippers? They may feel a little left out. :-)
this one is bound to be another hit melynda! i can't wait to get hold of the pattern and make all 3 designs :-)
Thank goodness there's a new pattern. I had run out of adults to give the slippers to- now I have a whole new audience!! Thanks for your generosity.
Oh! This is perfect,Melynda! I have already purchased and made your adult felted slippers and am in need of a baby gift the end of May so count me in!
I love your patterns, and would love to win this one! Even if I don't win, I'll be sure to buy this pattern to knit for and future babies in my life!
They are ADORABLE! A classic! I hope I win!
I don't believe I have entered yet for this one... can't remember so I hope not (though I can't find my name on here so betting not...)
Anyway super cute! I just gave birth (really the baby is 3 weeks old!) and I would love cute booties!
Great booties, maybe this will lead to children's slippers and more!
Germaine
cutie-licious!
Lovely botties! Cannot wait to make them. Pavla
We have a new grandson who would look super cute in a pair of your adorable booties! At a baby shower today, 3 more friends are pregnant, and all of whom want something handknit from me. Your pattern would really help me out and be a huge hit!
POSTING FOR THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Thank you everyone for posting! -Ve
They sure are cute. Should get some strings in case the babies kick them off--like mittens, right?
