Congratulations! Please contact me at yarnonthehouse@gmail.com to collect your prizes.
Another year gone by in the blink of an eye! February 1st will mark my blog's 3 year birthday. Happy b-day YOTH! It's been a fun ride and I have so much planned for you this year... another fabulous Knitcation is being planned as I write this, a new look for the YOTH blog will soon make an appearance, behind the scene secrets are being schemed (can't wait to share!), and lots of great sponsors are organizing with me to bring you some the best giveaways we have had yet! 2013 is going to be a wonderful year for YOTH, I can just feel it!
As usual, I have some left over lovely unclaimed skeins of yarn that somehow fell through the cracks and didn't go to happy knitting homes. So, like I do every year during the blogiversary, I offer those back up for grabs to you!
Let's see, there's 4 beautiful skeins... why don't we have two winners who will each receive two skeins (chosen by me) from the bunch. Easy as that! You can also wish YOTH a Happy Birthday by telling your knitting friends about YarnOnTheHouse.com, following me on Twitter, or joining our Ravelry group. I've also recently become an Instagram addict! Or, there's Pinterest too! Let's not talk about how much time I spend pinning things related to knitting!
I would like you to do the following if you would like to be entered into this week's giveaway:
1. Read over the rules if you have not done so already.
2. Leave a comment on this blog post by the end of Sunday, 2/11/13. Is there something that you'd like to see on YOTH that I haven't done yet? What's your favorite part of visiting this blog? Or, what would you like to see more of?
I'll randomly pick the winners in 2 weeks and post the results along with the new giveaway, so be sure to check back. Good luck everyone.
Sincerely,
Ve

My favourite part of the blog is being introduced to dyers and designers that I haven't "met" before. Happy Birthday and keep up the good work!
I love seeing all of the designers that I have not seen before.
My favorite part of YOTH is the giveaways! I cross my fingers that I'll win. $ is tight now but I adore knitting so winning would be a dream come true. Happy Anniversary to the site-keep up the great work!
I am new to your blog but I do want to say I really enjoyed Stephen West and viewing his patterns. I like searching out new designers to see what they have to offer. I also enjoyed hearing about "knitcation". What a great idea!

happy birthday!
my favorite parts of visiting the blog are looking at all the beautiful yarns and hoping that I have won something! ;D
Congrats and Happy Birthday. I really enjoy "meeting" the designers and indie dyers. Thanks and please keep it up!
happy birthday
i probably am one rare ones, i like it when you put in stories, or personal projects
I love seeing new patterns and someday I will win the yarn........

I love how you match up your give-aways with an interview. It's so much fun to hear more about where the products come from!
I enjoy seeing the knitting and the interviews of designers! Thanks for a chance.

My favorite thing about YOTH is seeing all the fabulous FO's you create and all the yummy yarn you make them with. You have introduced me to so many great yarns and projects, I love it!!!
I like everything about this blog! Awesome! Hope for it to keep going for many more years:)
I like getting exposed to so many new things. And of course the giveaways. Happy birthday!
hotknitter on rav
Happy blog-birthday! My favourite is spying cool yarn by dyers and brands I haven't come across before - and the giveaways of course!
Happy Bloggiversary and thank-you so much for this wonderful, generous concept!
Happy blogaversary! I love reading the interviews - lots of fun information. Of course, the giveaways don't hurt either! :)
Happy Birthday YOTH!!!
My favorite part of your blog is the designers and their patterns which you introduce and the lovely pictures of these patterns. And...of course, the giveaways are great and some time I may win!
Happy Birthday!!!!
I love the interviews as I get to stay in touch with the fab people who are so creative...
Busy working mom, so I don't get out much, so your blog is a great way to hear about new/ obscure/ local (but not to me) yarns.
Happy Birthday YOTH and VE! I miss you! Love "meeting" new people on your blog Ve.
Pavla
I love seeing all the yarns you can't get over here.
My favorite part is learning about new yarns that I'd probably never run across otherwise!
My favorite part of the blog are the interviews and of course all the wonderful contests. I have been a member of your Raverly group and following your blog since April 2010. Happy Birthday!!!
I love seeing both new yarns and old favorites on here. Especially if there is a new product I'm not familiar with! And of course I love when designers are featured, too.
I would love to see more Crochet-based projects! I know Knitting is the first thing people think of when they see yarn, but crochet produces beautiful things too!
I like the interviews, as I think it is always interesting to hear the thoughts of the designers, dyers, etc. I also really like learning about designers or artisans that I may not have been familiar with.
Happy birthday!
neneni on Rav
I love seeing all the lovely yarns, particularly from dyers that are new to me.
budget friendly quality yarns.
I appreciate your interviews with designers and fiber artists and the giveaways. I would love to hear you talk about your photography of knitting and see some outtakes. Happy anniversary!
Happy, happy birthday! I love the giveaways and reading stories about designers and dyers.
I love the giveaways of course - who doesn't love the chance to win delicious yarn?! I think you strike a really nice balance between the giveaways and other yarn related content with interviews and posts about your own work. I would like to see more of the same - keep up the good work!
I like the new designs and dyers, great to see new ideas! Thanks for the great giveaways and Happy Birthday !
I love the giveaways, and I also love reading about the FOs you knit. They're always so gorgeous! I honestly don't know what I would change if I were you; maybe just tips on working with the different types of yarn you give away? I don't know. You're doing a great job!!
Jessecreations on Ravelry
I really like learning about dyers and designers, seeing your FO's, and entering the giveaways!Thanks for all the work that you do :-)
Happy Blogversary! I love discovering new designers and dyers (and the giveaways!) :)
Congrats and happy blogiversary! I definitely love being introduced to new designers and yarn brands. Keep up the great work! :)
I like hearing about yarns I haven't heard about. Happy Birthday!
My favorite part is seeing the designer's pattern collections reviewed. Even though I browse through patterns (alot!) it is really helpful to see their perspective from the point of view of a collection instead of individual garments. The second is the yarns. You show us yarn that I don't get to see and it opens up possibilities for me. The giveaways are fun to watch, maybe one day I'll win one, but even if I don't - I still have hope!
I love "meeting" new designers through your blog. I've found and knit patterns that I never would have known existed because I saw them here. Thanks so much!!! Keep finding those newer or lesser known designers!
I love the giveaways and the designer interviews. Happy Blogoversary!
Happy blogiversary! My favorite part of the blog is your beautiful photos - both of your FOs and the yarn.
I love how I learn about all the great yarn, and designers I wouldn't have otherwise known about.
My favorite part are the video-interviews. They give 'voice' and 'life' to the different designers/dyers and make the alive in a different way than just seeing their pictures, names and websites. (Least favorite part: my paypal balance after visiting some of their websites.)
I love reading about all the indie dyers and their processes. What about some spinning stuff or knitting accessories this year?
sparkeespud on Rav
I like seeing the pretty yarns and what they can become. It's always interesting meeting the talented folks that create, too. And, of course, the change to win and share in the discoveries!
My favorite part of this blog is being introduced to new yarns and designers. Happy Birthday!
I'm fairly new to this blog, but I really enjoy discovering new yarns and dreaming of winning something, someday ;) Happy Birthday!
CecileinIndiana on Rav
I am a sucker for free patterns, so more free patterns, or links to them, are always welcome in my opinion! :)
Thank you for all of your giveaways! I sure would love to win some yarn!
Congrats and happy birthday!!
Happy birthday YOTH!!! I love to see your beautiful and well photographed hand knits! You have excellent taste and always pair such lovely patterns with the Perfect yarn! I also love to see the what new and different yarns and designers you feature!

Happy Birthday YOTH!
I come to see the photos, you always have fantastic photos of the giveaway yarns & your FOs.
the giveways themselves don't hurt either :)
Happy Third! I have been following you for two of those years, and I have seen such wonderful yarns and patterns, mostly new to me. My favorite parts are your interviews-- I feel like it's two friends talking and I am sitting right there with you, so I guess that would be three friends, huh?
I love how you introduce us to something new that I might not have considered, and of course, the giveaways. Thank you!
I love seeing all the beautiful yarns and patterns you feature and learning more about the people behind them. Thanks for all the giveaways and Happy Birthday!
I love that skein of cakewalk. I love seeing all the new designers and yarn on your blog.
I like learning about new dyers and designers. I will say the yarn or yarn/pattern giveaways are my faves. I have tons of patterns (not that i don't like collecting more), but I can't knit them without lovely yarn :)
The obvious bit about your blog is I love the giveaways - time and coordination for all of that is fantastic. :) But I also really love the interviews with dyers and designers. I have been introduced to so many new yarns through your blog that I'd have had no idea about before, and I think that's fantastic! :)
Happy Birthday YOTH! :)
Happy Birthday YOTH!
I love learning about all the new designers and yarn right here. Plus the giveaways are awesome! Thanks :)

Happy 3rd blog anniversary!! I love when you post about your FOs- I am a sucker for lovely pics and I always enjoy yours! All the best for 2013!
(Rav ID: knitmish)
A very happy blogiversary to you! I can't think of anything to suggest. I particularly like learning of new independent dyers and new designers so I can tempt myself with their work!
I like the photography of the blog. All those yummy pictures of yarns and FOs!
craftink on rv
Yayyy Happy blogiversary!!
I really like the video interviews--it's fun to see what designers are like "in real life."
I like discovering new designers, dyers, and yarn through your blog. Happy Blogiversary!
Obviously the giveaways are great, but I also love seeing the different designers and dyers, and what inspires them.
Happy Birthday! I'd love seeing more of your own knits too! Your Cloud Illusions shawl was just absolutely dreamy.
My favourite part is seeing all the beautiful yarn i and patterns i may not have known about before.
I've only been introduced to this blog very very interesting, so I'm still getting to know y'all so to speak but I do enjoy reading your reviews and I will shamlessly admit to looking forward to your giveaways.
My favorite part is learning about new designers. Thanks!thistck 8416
I like the interviews with the designers,
What is there not to love. Happy 3rd birthday.
I always enjoy the vidcasts and seeing new yarns!
StaceyKnitsIt rav.
I'm not going to lie, I love the giveaways. But mostly I love learning about all the new dyers and seeing the different ways people choose to put color and squishy yarn together.
Happy Birthday! I just discovered your blog in the last month and have already found more yarns to add to my dream stashlist. So much yarn, so little time . . .
I love the gorgeous pictures of yarns and of patterns, and I love that you always have links to the stores carrying those yarns and patterns so that I can discover even more pretty yarns and patterns! I get introduced to stuff I didn't know about before, and for me, that's the best part.
(Vanauken on Rav.)
I love getting to "meet" designers and dyers through your blog so please keep it up! Happy blogiversary!
Love seeing and finding out about the never-ending parade of independent dyers and yarn sellers. Keep up the great work!
So I'm very new to YOTH, but I always love yarns by really tiny indie dyers, which is part of what makes the giveaways so fun! Even if you don't win, you still get to learn about new yarn.
Happy Birthday, YOTH! Wishing you many, many more!
Happy Bloggiversary and I just want to say I love love love looking at your blog. You have amazing and beautiful finished objects, and I love reading/watching your interviews with such talented fiber artists! I would have to say one thing I have somewhat noticed a lack of would be things for spinners, I know the blog is YARN on the house, but some of your giveaways have included project bags and books, so I thought, why not a giveaway here and there for the spinners that love your blog also. But fabulous blog and wonderful giveaways. Thank you for your wonderful generousity!!!
Love the fact that you are celebrating Happy Birthday. I started following you on Pinterest and on ravelry. I love seeing all the different yarns in the giveaways. What a fun thing.
I love seeing people I know show up here! You did a giveaway for Sunflower Yarns and I was so excited becsause I know Amanda.
Happy 3rd anniversary! Wishing you many more.
I love book reviews and hearing designers talk about their designs.
I love seeing all the designers and brands that are new to me. Happy anniversary!
My favorite part of your blog (and BTW--Happy Blogiversary!) is being introduced to so many cool new yarns and patterns. Thank you!
I love your personal projects. There's always so much love in each one, and your models are so adorable.
And of course there's always the possibility of winning some really nice yarn! :)
I love the different yarns you show, but I also love that you feature patterns. It brings things to my attention that I may not have known about otherwise.
I absolutely love seeing new dyers and meeting new designers - great enabling! :)
I love learning about new yarns and new patterns that I might not see anyplace else!
I like learning about indie dyers and the designers you talk with. and of course the giveaways!
Happy Happy Birthday with many more years to blog! My favorite part of your blog is being introduced to all the beautiful colors and the designers. Of course the giveaways and dreaming my name will be chosen. Keep up the great work.
I find it hard to believe that anyone passes on free yarn! I had the chance to meet Rose of Cakewalk when I was in my hometown this summer; she was super nice and I would have bought out her booth if I could afford it!
I love seeing all the indie dyers and designers that I never would have heard of before. I watch a lot of podcasts, and I think that they all pass around a lot of the same artists among themselves and therefore don't offer the same kind of exposure that you do.
I hope I'm not one of those who did not claim their prize, LOL! I like all the different yarns that are show cased in the blog! Many are yarns that I did not know! It is a very original blog for great discoveries! Happy 3rd blogyversary! Thank you for the great contests! It's really exciting each and every time!
I love seeing new designers- you open my eyes to interesting patterns!
I loved following your Knitcation updates. I dream of the day I can do something like that! The giveaways are awesome too!
I love everything, the yarns, the designers, the patterns and of course, the giveaways. Such beautiful stuff.
I first started visiting for the giveaways (I confess) but I have stayed because of the great dyers and designers you've introduced me to! Happy Blogaversary!
Happy blogiversary! I love discovering new yarns and dyers through your blog. Plus there's always the delicious hope that I might be a winner!
I cant think of anything else I would like to see, maybe some of your personal knitting. I like seeing new patterns, designers, and yarn I would normally not see.
I too am a fan of the new designers I meet through your posts. Happy Blogversary!
My favorite part of yourblog are the giveaways! Yet I really love being introduced to yarns, dyers and designers I hadn't met yet. Happy bloggversary and keep up the great work!
I enjoy the interviews with designers. What I'd like more of: more discussion of your knitting, and also what patterns you have your eye on, i.e. what's been added to your "queue".
Thanks!
(goodstuff on Rav)
Congratulations on 3 years of blogging! My favorite parts of the blog are the photos of the yarn (you make it look so luscious) and your generosity. Winning was such a treat but I really enjoy that you give ... and what you give is great also.
Happy Birthday...and congratulations!
I'm new to your blog, and so far love everything about it!

Hard to believe it's been three years - Happy Anniversary and here's to many more!
hbty! hbty! hb d yoth! hbty!
I love learning about the beautiful yarns and products that you give away!
I love reading about and seeing the yarns, and patterns you review. I love reading the interviews with the designers, dyers, farm owners, etc to learn more about the person(s) behind the goodness that we can buy. I also love the video interviews you do - Stephen West, Susan B Anderson... these people seem like celebrities so it is fantastic to see them! I wouldn't change a thing! Congratulations on three years! It seems you have built a great following and I hope it brings you joy! Wish I could join in on one of the Knitcations! Thank you! Stephanie (indigodogmt on Ravelry)
Happy Happy Birthday! I love discovering new yarn spinners/dyers.. and pattern makers :)
I love seeing tools and accessories like bags and the yarn buddy. And also different designers that I may or may not already be familiar with.
I follow you on RSS feed and enjoy your posts.You have introduced me to a variety of yarns that I use to knit and crochet for my grandchildren, and now for a great-grand due in April.
Good birthday wishes to you.
:)
Happy birthday!!! I love seeing all the squishy yarns and I want to see more of your sweet face :)
My favourite part of the blog are the giveaways and the yarn pictures. Yaaaaarnnnn...

I like being introduced to the smaller indie dyers I might not run into otherwise, so keep doing that.
I love the videos & all of the gorgeous photo's of yarns & hand knits.
I love the photos of all the finished knits!
globalite on Ravelry
Happy blogiversary! I love all the reviews and the giveaways, but I'd like to see more of your actual knitting! One - you choose beautiful patterns and I'm always inspired. Two - you take gorgeous photos and show the whole thing off and I get a good idea of construction.
Maybe I have just managed to miss them, but I like the non-yarn blogs too. The yarn buddy one was neat, for example. So maybe more knitter notion stuff?
Happy Blogiversary!! My favorite things are seeing the lovely yarns (many times I end up going and ordering some if I don't win) and checking to see if I won any of the giveaways! :)
Happy Birthday! Love seeing all the new things.
There is so much to love! I really enjoy the interviews with designers, and being introduced to so many beautiful new yarns. Keep up the good work!
I love the chance to win yarn and patterns, and the ones you offer are so beautiful!
-Ravnejenta on Ravelry
Happy blogoversary! My favorite part of visiting the blog is seeing pairings of yarn and design, especially for the more indie yarns that have fewer projects and a lot of personality!
Happy blogoversary! I love having the chance to try out(win) things I've not yet tried! I also love the colorful.. fun-ness of the information given.

Happy Blogiversary. My favorite part of YOTH are your videos. Its great to see you interviewing designers and knitters.
Happy blogiversary! I really love that you expose me to yarn that I would otherwise never have found. Thank you for all the interviews, links, and beautiful pictures. You continually inspire me with your projects. :)
Happy Blogiversary! It's a really cool blog. I love the interviews with independent designers and dyers. Forgive me if I'm just forgetting but have you had Hunter Hammerson on the blog yet? If not I would like to see her here.
Happy 3rd Anniversary! One of these days I've got to get the Innerwebs back at home, so I can see your videos.
AnnBan on Ravelry
I love your blog! It's well written and your FO's are always inspirational. Thanks for running another great giveaway! :)
Happy blogiversary! I love having the chance to try things I haven't tried and getting to know interesting people through the interviews. I also love your FOs. Long story short, I just love YOTH!
happy blogiversary!
I love seeing the designers history/stories. I think on occasion matching a story with a mini project, recipe, etc might be fun too.... maybe the designers favorite cocktail recipe with their interview...etc. I love the personal stories and insights.
:)
Love being able to enter all of your amazing giveaways, and seeing your finished projects.
ugh, the beautiful yarn on featured on this blog just makes my wishlists longer and longer. my husband thanks you, i'm sure, haha
I love everything about this blog. The chance to win amazing products, and getting to be introduced to new dyers and designers....it's all amazing :)
My favorite part is all the up-close-and-personal pics of the yarn. You do beautiful work with a camera, as well as with your needles.
I typed a huge long comment on my phone detailing everything I love about your blog, and then my phone decided to be mean and mess everything up when I tried to publish it!!! I love your blog though, your photography is amazing and the interviews are always so fun. I don't always enter every giveaway because sometimes I realize it might be something I wouldn't use, but I always always read/watch the interviews because they are awesome. Thank you for having such a wonderful blog!!
I really like learning about the artists & designers. Your interviews are great! I also love, love the different yarns & patterns. I am always inspired after visiting your blog (even though I don't win)! :o)
I do like the designer interviews. I've introduced you to every knitter I know! Can't think how you could improve upon what you do! You could have offered to pack one incredibly lucky follower in your suitcase when you took your Knitcation!
I enjoy when you post up about new designers:)
rosebob on ravelry

The favorite part would be getting know about all the dyers and their yarn. And the giveaways.
Happy blogiversary :)
My favourite part is to learn about new (to me) designers and dyers.
I've just become a happy winner and I shared that with every knitting friend to let them know it's for real!
Thank you Ve and Happy B-day!
I LOVE the beautiful yarns. I've fallen down a lot of rabbit holes following links and viewing dyers.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
Happy anniversary.
Happy birfday, YOTOH! And many happy years of crafts. I, too, love finding new dyers and designers, but especially like to see you show off your personal knits every once in a while!
happy anniversary

Happy Blogiversary! Beside the giveaways (can't lie, I love those & hope I win one day), I enjoy the interviews, especially the ones with the yarn dyers.
Happy blogiversary ... I enjoy the introductions to people, yarns, patterns. In short, I enjoy all of it.
Variety is the spice of life, and you help spice up my interests - thank you!
happy happy blogiversary!
Other than the giveaways....I enjoy discovering new designers, dyers....yarn et al.
Thank you
Of course you have to love the giveaways but I just like even seeing the giveaways - always enjoy seeing new yarns and what creative people are out there.
I like everything! Keep up the great work!
I love reading the interviews and finding out about new yarn dyers that I have not come across before...happy happy birthday!!

I like being introduced to new yarns and designers. I can't think of anything specific that I'd like to see added, but I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever you come up with!
Happy Birthday and Congratulations! I love seeing all the pretty yarn. :)
my favorite part is seeing different yarns not carried by my regular yarn haunts - yarns i'd never know existed if not for you.
Happy B-day - I remember the beginning! Congrats on the well deserved sucess.
Happy Birthday! I love the yarn, the giveaways but most of all the interviews with designers! So Fun!

I love the giveaways of course :) but I also like the patterns and yarns you showcase
it the yarn...it's always about the yarn!
I love the giveaways, but I always love the interviews. It's so fun to see the people behind the art!
I may be too late - it's Monday now, but still 2/11/13. If I'm not too late, I just found your blog. I love the snippets into your life (like the taking white fuzzy yarn on an airplane trip!!!) and what you are knitting.
Beautiful yarn!
More sexy pictures of yarn :P
My favorite part of your blog is the designers and their patterns which you introduce and the lovely pictures of these patterns. And...of course, the giveaways are great and some time I may win!
