Fibre 4 Fibres Giveaway preview 28

 Another week, another prize! It seems to get around to Friday pretty fast these days. It's another scheduled post because when this goes live, I'll be back at the hospital having more chemo. Fingers crossed that I don't have all the drama like last time! I cannot believe the total raised so far. Last week's raffle brought the total to £6416. It makes me feel incredibly humble that people donate to support my fundraising. Myositis UK is a very small charity and relies 100% on fundraisers like me to get income to fund research. So every pound donated is so important. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This week's prize has an autumnal feel to it. The prize includes a beautiful toadstool bag with a sweet little toadstool glass bead which has been expertly stitched and donated by Ann, who is Busy Pottering on Instagram. Ann also donated the toadstool stitchmarkers. Along with that there are two skeins of Blue Faced Leicester and Gotland yarn which have been donated by The Knitting Swede. Tanja has stopped dyeing yarn now to concentrate on designing, so this is one of the last chances you will have to get hold of some of her gorgeous skeins. There is a skein of Briar Rose 'Fourth of July' 100% merino yarn in bright autumnal shades, and two balls of Rowan Purelife Chunky yarn. The Crafty Bird has donated a very fluffy pompom that can be attached to a knitted or crocheted hat, and lastly my friend Alison (who also has myositis) has donated a beautiful needle felted hare which can either be used as a card or framed. Alison has a shop selling her work which you can find here. Thank you so much to everyone who has generously donated a prize.











I'm sure that you know the score by now, but I'll tell you how to enter anyway! You have a chance to win all these gorgeous prizes for a minimum donation of £2 - less than the price of a cup of coffee! Are you tempted to try your luck? Here's everything you need to know. This giveaway will run this coming Sunday 11th October, closing at 23:55. To enter, go to my JustGiving page here and buy your virtual raffle tickets by donating £2 or more. £2 gets you 2 tickets, £3 gets you 3 tickets, £5 gets you 5 tickets and so on. The more you donate, the greater your chance of winning. You will need to leave your Instagram or Ravelry name, or tick the box to share your details with me when you make your donation, so that I can contact you if you are the winner. This is really important as I have no way of knowing who you are otherwise. Each week, I still get donations where no name or email is left, so if that person's number comes up in the random number generator, I have no idea who it is! All your donations go the Myositis UK to help fund research into this incurable muscle disease, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support. Every single donation is important. My fundraising efforts even got a mention in their latest news update, and that's thanks to you! Let's see how much we can raise this weekend! xxx

Love the new bulky yarn!! The sweater is looking great. The way you combine your colors is so nice. How much is the yarn in US dollars? You take super care of yourself! xo
