A Rather Unusual Giveaway

Okay, so I am a little bit nervous about this giveaway and about whether there will be any interest for it – but I thought I’d let you have at it! See, as well as having this awesome editorial gig, I enjoy a little bit of knitting in my spare time (yes, I am just *that* cool!)

The other day I decided to design a bookmark – a Strange Chemistry bookmark. Take a look at the pictures:

And the reverse:

This is absolutely one of a kind (considering I haven’t knitted anymore of these!)

And I am giving it away to a random commenter – leave a comment below, including the best way to get hold of you, and I’ll pick someone to send this unique bookmark to. (Please don’t leave me hanging!)

Ooh! Me! Me! I can never have enough bookmarks, and, as with stationary, I treasure the best ones.

Email would be best (provided).

We love bookmarks! Especially soft ones that don’t ruin pages. Especially those that are a one off. And especially those that have a lovingly, clever design. In fact, We Sat Down’s logo is a handmade felt bookmark. We could do a swap – we’ll design a one off for you from us :)

I can’t knit my way out of a skein of yarn, so I bow down to your awesomeness. You not only made a shape that you meant to, you used more than one color and made a design that’s full of win.

Will you work for Lindt truffle wrappers? ;) I have lots of those.

For a contact, email is good (I’m assuming you can see it from the form), through the website there’s a contact button and Twitter address..it all works.

It’s beautiful. And unlike my latest knitting exploits, it’s not full of accidental holes and wonky stitches.

You should be proud of it :)

Considering even knitting a scarf is out of my range of abilities I am so impressed! That is totally cool! Count me in!

Hey, don’t you know all the cool people knit? At least at my library, which is actually where I learned–a group of my library patrons came in and taught me! So knitting and books go hand in hand in my world. You did an awesome job!

I really wish I had an amazing skill!, I guess I’ll just stick to golf XD, and you can contact me by email :).

Oh my, that’s awesome. I know a lot of people who knit, but I’ve never been able to get co-ordinated enough to pull it off. That’s fantastic!
(The provided e-mail address is the best way to contact me.)

Thats so cool – I love knitting but I’m lucky to make a straight line – patterns are WAY beyond my abilities! I love the chequered pattern though & who could ever own enough bookmarks?

I collect bookmarks… the more unique the better. The problem is, I rarely read books slowly enough to need to use them!

OMGosh, this is so cool. I hope I’m randomly picked. It will match my room where I have loads of books. :)
