If designing has taught me one thing, it is that I am occasionally epically wrong in my estimated yardage for a project. In this particular case, I thought that my Blueberry Torte Capelette was going to take two balls of Curio. It actually only took one (with some left over, even!). This left me with the problem of what to do with the extra ball of thread. Of course my first impulse was to squirrel it away in my stash, but anyone who has ever been to my house knows that I have something of a stash containment problem, so that wouldn't be a good idea. Then it occurred to me: I can give it away!
There will be three winners: two first prize winners will get a copy of the pattern, and one grand prize winner will get a copy of the pattern, and this lovely ball of Curio #10 crochet thread in Bluebell (plenty to work the pattern):
You also get three ways to enter. First is your gimme entry: just comment on this post. You don't have to answer any questions or anything, just leave me a way to get a hold of you if you win. Second, if you like my page on Facebook, and leave a second comment on this blog post, you will get another entry. Third, you can follow this blog, and leave a separate comment on this blog post, for yet another entry. The winners will be chosen by random number generator on August 10 (by which point the finished pattern will almost certainly be published). Good luck everybody!
ETA: Gah I forgot all about Twitter... if you tweet my contest, and comment here, you can have ANOTHER entry. :)
