He seemed happy to present them to me. Sadly, I am a knitting snob. The one time a year I put something on the needles, that yarn had better have some wool or alpaca in it. So these seven skeins of acrylic yarn are going nowhere quick over here. Please someone, give them a good life.
To enter, leave a comment below, by noon (PDT) on December 17th. I'll pick a random winner. Sorry, no international entries, I have lost all my coping skills this holiday season and filling out the customs form might be the death of me.
P.S. the picture above is a sneak peak of the quilt I'm finishing up right now! Can't wait to show you more.

You can throw my name in the hat. I am the area coordinator for Binky Patrol and have lots of ladies who would love some yarn to make blankets for kids. Thanks :)
I'd be happy to take these off your hands. They'd look great as an afghan. Thanks for the chance to win.
My daughter and I both love and use all kinds of yarn. Thanks for sharing.
Hmmm... I am not really a knitter or a crocheter, but this would sure be a great last minute Christmas present for my mom! She would make something awesome with them!
I'm making some fingerless mitts around here, and will try to put the yarn to good use if I win it. The people I'm knitting for won't want to be bothered with having to hand-wash their mitts..thank you !
I'm collecting chunky yarn (of all types) for a scrappy throw for my mom - these would be lovely! Thanks for hosting the give-away!
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity. GD is just beginning to knit.
Can't wait to see the quilt underneath!! I know of a great home for that pretty yarn...
I would use this yarn to make helmet liners for the military. Thanks
Would love the yarn!
Yarn with corporate details! How surprising! LOL if you give it to me I will have my husband knit it into scarves so how's that for full circle?
I would love the yarn. I don't mind the acrylics and synthetics.
Nice! I just started knitting and these would come in handy.
We're always looking for yarn for our "projects" as my 3 year old calls them.
I'm hosting a giveaway too, so pop on over if you have some time...

I'm in on the giveaway. I just learned to knit and those are pretty colors to try out!
I would love this to give to my son. I taught him to knit to overcome some of his disabilities. He would love to have this.

I'll take it! I'll take it! My DD is starting to crochet and it will be a great gift! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the chance to win - I could use more acrylic choices for the charity blankets I do.
Happy Holidays!
I would love the chance to win this yarn. It would be used to make some hats to donate to the local school.
I would love to take that yarn off your hands! Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh that acrylic would be perfect for amigurumi projects. I would definitely use it! I wish I knew how to quilt - that looks so cute.

My mother would really love this yarn. Thanks for the chance!
These would be put to great use by my prayer shawl group. We are currently knitting tobaggans to give out at the homeless shelter.
I love the "jiffy" part. I need to make a hat for my cold head fast. Ha.
oh I will give some very happy life to those acrylics. and that sneak peek of your quilt is killing me! it's so cool with those pennants!!
Thanks for the giveaway. My yarn stash is low and needs a boost.
Yarn! Yay!
Hi Christina:
I am making squares for some afghans that will be donated to charity and given to the homeless. I would love to use up those skeins in that project.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I could certainly find something to do with them. I just learned to knit and they would be great for small items.
I actually don't use animal fibers, so these would get a good home with me if I win!
And I see that you are a nurse-midwife, so I just had to say how all kinds of wonderful I think that is. It's on the top of my list of "jobs I would have loved in another lifetime". :)
If I won, I would use every bit for kids mittens to be donated to next year's mitten tree! I used Jiffy yarn for this year's mittens and it was perfect! Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd love to win your yarn! Thanks for your giveaway.
This just happens to be my favorite yarn for making charity hats. Thanks for this giveaway. avennett AT verizon DOT net
I'd love to have the yarn. I crochet almost every night while I watch TV.
I'm no yarn snob -- in fact, I love Lion Brand! haha I guess you could call me cheap... or frugal, that's a better term! haha Thanks for the fun prize, and feel free to check out my giveaway at www.crocheteveryday.blogspot.com
i will be more then happy to take them off your hands! :) thanks for the giveaway!

I would love the yarn.
I won't tell my husband I'm opting into a give-away for free yarn. *snicker* He'd just laugh. :) Thanks for the chance!
I have a wonderful home for yarn of any kind...grin.
Billie
My daughter is just learning to knit, so she would love these to practice on! Thanks!
I'm new to knitting, so acrylic is not a bad word yet! Your quilt is looking very wonderful like bunting!
I am also a new knitter and so I would love to get some practice on your giveaway yarns!
Yay, thanks for the chance to win!

Unfortunately wool makes me itch no matter how hard I try pretend that it doesn't, so I would love some acrylic yarn for my projects!
I would love to crochet some hats for my little ones with that yarn! Looks like it would make warm hats for this winter!!
Jeni jkr0304@aol.com
I'd be happy to use these! I just learned to crochet, so I need some yarn to practice my new skills!

I love the fancy stuff but love to knit hats to donate so would put this yarn to use for local babies/toddlers this winter! Thanks!

I use all types of yarn - if it comes to worse, it becomes a cat toy haha.
I would love to win these! I love to crochet but I am not good enough to justify spending a lot on yarn. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
I would love to see that they get a good home, thanks for the chance.
Yay yarn!!!
Just learning to knit here so this would be fun!
Wow, I would love to win these for my mom!
Thanks for the giveaway. It would be perfect to make mittens to give to my sister in laws school.
I have a great idea - it could be used for little knit hats! I just learned how to do the magic loop, and I love it - I have a feeling preemie hats are in my future!
Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity! Have a happy holiday season!
I would love to create with that yarn! Thanks for the chance to win.
i am resisting being a yarn snob. i do LOVE natural fibers, but have so much acrylic in my stash that i need to use that up first. so heck, what's a few more skeins?! i like the colors. they're totally my mom's scheme, so i would make something for her!
Ah, good old yarn goodness. And by the way, thank you for your free motion quilt along. I am really enjoying it!!
The story of that yarn is just so cute. I could put it to good use, and I'd share it with my knitting friends, too :)
jshen37 at gmail dot com
We can always use more yarn! Interesting sneak peak, Christina. Thanks for counting me in.
I am a borderline yarn snob. I still use lots of acrylic though. We would be happy to use it up. Pretty quilt
Your quilt looks great. I would like to be a yarn snob, but sometimes acrylic is all the ol' wallet can bring home. ;) Thank you for the giveaway!
I'm an acrylic snob - some is terrible, but I do like Jiffy, so please enter me. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like Lion Brand Jiffy! It makes nice warm hats for the kids who don't have any here in New Hampshire...

i would love to win these for my mom
I would love to win that group of yarn. I have no yarn shop where I live and I just learned to knit socks this fall and have made one scarf. Fun stuff.
Hi! I'm just learning to knit... Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! Exactly what I need! I would love to win this. I already have plans for each! I've used this yarn before and my (grown) kids love it. Being retired (social security budget) I could really make nice gifts for them with it.
By the way, I was thrilled to see your "Free Motion Quilting Designs: Words". I've never seen that demonstrated before. Your examples were specific and detailed. Thanks so much.
HI,
This is Mikhaila. I like your blog.
And I'm scrappy too! Will you consider me for your yarn? I am brand new to crocheting so I am not experienced enough to be snotty yet about wool or acrylic. And I Loooove the colors.
'Tanks!
Mikhaila
I'd love to take those from you. :) That yarn makes great hats for kids without. Thanks for the opportunity.
Well, I happen to be allergic to wool, so I'm TOTALLY okay with acrylic yarn! LOL! Although, I DO love alpaca!!!! SO SOFT! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
jinglesells at gmail dot com
Normally I'm a big snob too, but in this case it's bulky and washable so it'd be a good fast gift-knitting yarn, ha ha! I'm thinking I might make a stripey afghan/lapghan out of them and it'd be a nice little gift for someone next year.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I'd love this... I'd make scarves and gloves and hats for kids at a school near where I live that has a lot of kids that are in need of some help.
Thank you for the giveaway! I'd love to put those yarns to good use. I'm currently making some chemo caps for kids, and soft acrylic yarns are preferable for those.
Those would be great for working with my dds on learning to knit & crochet. Great giveway. Thanks.
Thank you for the chance to win!

My sister is a beginner knitter, and these would be great for her to make stuff out of as she learns new things! I would love to surprise her by winning these for her. Thanks for the chance!
I can't wait to see the great quilt you are working on. My daughter would have a blast with this yarn to make things on her looms.
Would love to give those poor little skeins of yarn a new home. They are my daughters favorite colors and she would like a new scarf. Thanks for the chance!
