to give or not to give

i love to give. really, i do. i love when someone i know has a birthday because it gives me an excuse to give them something. not because i expect something from them in return later on, but because it truly makes me feel good. i love Christmas not because of getting gifts but because i enjoy getting things for people and hoping that it makes them happy to receive it. i even like to celebrate half birthdays because it gives me an extra excuse for giving. and a joy of blogging is having giveaways to allow me to give people something just for fun.


so last night, as i sat on the couch, enjoying my new hobby of crocheting (see below picture of my first/current throw/blanket project) i thought "i should have a giveaway and let someone win a crocheted something from me."

i thought about how fun it would be to let the person pick their own colors and what they wanted. a baby blanket. a throw. a somewhat small yet very useful blanket. a scarf.

and then i thought what if no one enters? what if everyone thinks my crocheting is lame? and then i thought maybe it was a completely crazy idea.

and then i thought maybe i should just ask the people what they think.

so....what do you think?

I just can't believe that YOU are crocheting!! We could have had crocheting parties every Friday night! Sure- I would LOVE something made by you! I am VERY impressed with your skills. I tried making a baby blanket once and it took me over a year! yowza. Now if someone would just have a girl, I could give it away.
Crochete like the wind!!!
