One World One Heart

UPDATE: There were 84 comments as of 7:00 AM EST when I drew the winners. The winning comments are numbers ONE and SIXTY (taken by the Random Number Generator). I'll count out the comments later and contact the winners of both hats. This was SOOOO MUCH FUN and I can't wait to go back and read over the other blogs!
Thanks for visiting!
This looks like fun. It was started to help introduce bloggers from around the world. What you do is, offer something preferably handmade as a raffle, and then you visit the other blogs who did it and you enter their raffles. That way you get to "meet" a lot of people by visiting their blogs. I've looked through some of the blogs and I saw a lot of great, creative people.

I'm not that creative, but I'm pretty artsy. I can follow a pattern with the best of them. I don't have a picture to offer (and please, let me know if you find the cord for my digital camera because it's been missing for a while now, and I'd like to have it before the summer), but I'm going to offer a handmade knit hat. It's a pretty unique pattern (which I didn't create), different stitches so there's a nice texture to the finished hat. The hat is a combination of three different tan shades. I'd wear it myself, if I didn't decide to put it in the raffle.

There's how you enter the raffle for this unique hat.
1. Leave me a comment on this post, saying you want to enter the raffle. Please be sure to leave either your blog address (if you have a blog) or your e-mail, so I know how to contact you if you win.
2. Please enter the raffle before midnight, February 13. I will announce the winner around 8AM on Thursday, February 14.
3. Please enter so that I don't feel bad. I'm hoping to get at least 10 entries. :-) (Low expectation based on the fact that I don't have a picture, plus I'm joining pretty late in the game.)
COME ON, it's FREE to enter. And check out the other raffles linked to that site, there's some really great stuff out there!

UPDATE because I'm so excited that I already have ten entries. And those are really talented craftspeople, too! (I'm used to adoption bloggers, I don't think I was expecting NEW strangerfriends.) This is so much fun, visiting all these blogs with such beautiful things. Inspiration galore! Too bad I don't want to spend more money, because I'd LOVE to buy a bunch of things from so many of these blogs. I'm having such a good time surfing!

Another update because I've seen on so many blogs how people include their time zone. This makes sense, considering it's an international thing. So, to reinforce the idea that people in New York think the center of the universe IS New York, I realized that I should also include my time zone. All times, of course, are New York time. :-) (And I'm so excited that I have 24 comments already. If I get 50 comments, I'll add another hat, also multi-stitch with texture but this one is crochet, all grey.)

Another update because I have more than 50 comments! So there will be TWO hats in this giveaway.
