I am beyond thrilled, honored, amazed and excited to be able to offer you a chance to win once of Speckled Frog Crochet's absolutely amazing patterns.
I'm gonna get sappy for a minute. Bear with me here...because you see....
I "met" Cyprianne Nolan, the lovely and talented lady behind the wildly successful Speckled Frog Crochet, back in February or so. I was buying my first hat patterns from Etsy. I shopped around a lot - I mean A LOT. I was drawn to her shop. Her shop was full of textures and cute designs and I sort of fell in love right there. I bought a few patterns. I "liked" her Facebook page. We started corresponding by email. I had no idea that purchasing a few patterns would lead to a friendship that is so near and dear to me that I cannot imagine my life without it. Silly, right?
Here's the thing about Cyp - she's just THAT amazing. Truly. I know many of you reading this know her as I do. You'll all agree. Not only is she talented, but behind all of that talent is an amazing woman with a huge heart and so much love to give that you just feel filled up - and you know she has more to share. You want to tell everyone you know about her. You feel instantly like you've known her for years after just a few words with her. She is what we should all strive to be as work at home moms. I love her. In a few short months - she has grown to be one of my best friends.
NOW - on to the pattern part! I use Cyp's patterns all the time! I once joked with her that her patterns are like my Pokemon - I gotta catch 'em all. And seriously - I pretty much have. I have almost every single one of them. It's true. Her patterns are full of fun textures and are SO easy to follow. A beginner can EASILY follow any pattern of hers. AND - if you do need help - she's only an email away and is ALWAYS happy to help you figure out where you've run astray. My dino hat, sock monkey hats, tied diaper covers, hammocks, and hanging pods (just to name a few) are made from her wonderful patterns.
Here's how to enter:
Go on over to Cyp's Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Speckled-Frog-Crochet/111896938851071 and click that little "like" button (oh - and tell her I sent ya please). THEN - comment here that you did so and which of her amazing patterns is your favorite. It'll be hard to choose - trust me - I know! You won't be bound to that selection if you win - I promise. Then on Wednesday, September 14th, I'll draw a winner. You'll get a free pattern of your choice - and you'll never be the same. Truly - it will change your life.
Many thanks and the best of luck to you all!
-Nikki
