Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Yes, I really have. I decided the other day that I really wanted to do the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day and nothing was going to stop me this time. I have really felt strongly about do this walk for a few years now but it always seemed like there was something that kept me from actually doing it but not this time. I signed up yesterday, have an orientation meeting next Tuesday and I am already starting to add the walking into my exercise routine. The next big hurdle is to raise the funds needed to actually walk with the minimum being $2200. I plan to ask everyone I know to donate because no amount is too little for a cause like this. I also think I am going to have a contest/fundraiser with some pretty cool prizes and more depending on the amount of money that comes in. I have to get all the particulars down before I throw it out there but here is a preview of what I have in mind.

I did get to that spinning I talked about and I think this will be the first item I give away. The yarn isn't quite done but the color is perfect for this cause.



It is from the Sweet Sheep, a superwash merino in a color originally named Berry Blitz but maybe we should change it to B@@bie Blitz for now! Goes with the whole theme, don't you think? I plan to offer either hand dyed or handspun yarns and maybe a big bonus prize if we can get the $$$ rolling in. I plan to ply this up tonight and as soon as I get photos of it I will post the particulars on how you can win it and some other cool yarns. Get ready to open your wallets and spread the word.
