EDIT: Winner has been announced! Keep reading for future giveaways.
That’s right, folks. I’m giving away some pretty cool stuff! Before I show you the goods, I’d like to bore you with why I’m doing this. You see, Friday January 27 marks one year that I left the hospital and all treatments behind. Chemo was done and I weathered the worst nutropenic fever. I was home free and didn’t need to see my oncologist for another two months.
So to celebrate the end of all cancer related treatments, I’m having a giveaway! Here are the goods that could be going home to you:
Candy Skein Yarn!
A skein of Tempting Sock from the wonderful Candy Skein yarns. The colorway is lemon-lime since lime green is the awareness color for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. (Note: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is violet. They are two different cancers.) It’s a fingering weight yarn and it’s made of 80% wool, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon.
Also! You’ll receive a set of cute candy beads also from Tami:
Candy beads
There are 7 beads in all, not just the four pictured above. I think they’re super cute. But wait, there’s more. You’ll also win a copy of Lion Brand Yarn: Just Hats: Favorite Patterns to Knit and Crochet.
EDIT: Here’s a photo of the book. Photo courtesy of Amazon
To enter, you simply just have to leave a comment to this post. If you want to follow me on Twitter, or subscribe via RSS or become a fan on Facebook, that’s great but no need. This giveaway is open to everyone around the world as well. So please, help spread the word. EDIT: Limit one comment per person. Oh the details, they escape me sometimes.
The winner will be chosen via random number generator on Friday January 27th in celebration at 10am Central time. Good luck to everyone and thanks for being a reader.

Oh, it’s okay! I figured it was a computer hiccough and then I realized that I should just cover my bases in case someone else decides to purposely comment more than once.
But you’re good!

Keep your spirits up and never ever stop knitting!!!

Vanessa, it sounds as if you really have something to celebrate. A whole year spent with those you love. That is AWESOME! And you are 20% towards the magic five year mark. It sounds as if you are very good at playing the “Glad” Game. Keep fighting
What a wonderful reason for a giveaway – congratulations!
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! That is wonderful! My mom was just diagnosed with cancer, again (she had ovarian cancer on 1990 and came away from that one free and clear). She’s having a biopsy done so we know what kind we are dealing with. I hope that everything turns out as well for her as it did for you!
congratulations! that’s an occasion worth celebrating for sure! delighted to be in with a chance to win such a lovely prize! x
Congrats on your anniversary!

Many many congratulations and joys!
What a wonderful reason to celebrate! Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Here’s to many more cancer-free years to come.
That yarn looks so cool! And also the beads (I would totally use them for stitch markers if the holes are big enough). So glad this anniversary is something you’re celebrating!
Congratulations!!! Wishing you many many more decades of cancer-free life!!
Wishing you many more years cancer free!
Congratulations on being cancer free!
Congratulations on your cancer free year. The best reason for a celebration.

)

ME ME, PICK ME.
Congratulations
So glad to see someone pulling through such a hard path xxx
Congratulations!
I have been reading your posts only recently (since I started blogging myself so started to read other peoples). Your story is great, as is your sense of humour. All the best for the future!
Congrats on 1 year cancer free. I always enjoy reading your posts.
Yay! I didn’t know that different cancers had colors associated with them! I knew about breast cancer and pink, but that was about it! So thanks for that new piece of information. Congrats on the end of cancer treatments!
Congratulations! And thank you for giving us readers an opportunity to celebrate with you *raises a pre-emptive toast to your year, and a second toast to many, many more to follow*
The yarn is fabulous, great idea to choose it so that it represents the cancer awareness colour.
