Welcome to the penultimate Fibre4Fibres raffle. All good things must come to an end and I have decided to finish my fundraising for Myositis UK next week. It will be raffle 100 and the total raised should hopefully reach £30,000. Both of these are nice round numbers and it feels right to bring things to a close. Of course I have been tempted to carry on, but I've been fundraising now since the end of 2019 (with a couple of breaks) and there are other things that I'd like to focus on. Also, people have been incredibly generous, and I know that I have had a few people donate to every single raffle. With the cost of living going up, there isn't a lot of spare money for many people either and I'd hate for people to feel pressured into donating.
This week's raffle has two prizes. The first prize includes a zipped project bag in a fun print, a ball of self-striping, sparkly DK rainbow yarn donated by The Dotty Wool Co, three sets of Norah George DK miniskeins which have been donated by an Instagram friend, Marja, two sets of Hiya Hiya double pointed needles donated by my Instagram friend Ann, a unicorn stitch marker donated by The Yarnicorn and a yarny fridge magnet. Thank you so much to everyone who donated a prize.
The second prize includes a zipped project bag in a knitting sheep print fabric, four balls of wool and a tweed key ring from The Silly Sheep Fibre Company (who use fleeces from their own sheep and from friends and neighbours on the Shetland Islands) nine balls of Jamieson's/Jamieson & Smith yarn, a set of Hiya Hiya double pointed needles donated by my friend Ann (again!), a unicorn stitch marker donated by The Yarnicorn and a yarny fridge magnet. Thank you so much to everyone who donated a prize.
Here's a reminder of what you need to do if you'd like to enter this week's raffle! You have a chance to win one of these gorgeous prizes for a minimum donation of £2! Are you tempted to try your luck? Here's everything you need to know. This giveaway will run this coming Sunday 4th September, closing at 23:45. 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 email address 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. Myositis is a rare disease and that means that there isn't as much research done to help find better treatment and ultimately a cure. Every single donation is important. Let's see how close to £30,000 we can get this week! Thank you and stay safe! xxx
