Here I Am Again – With A Contest Of Course!

Last October, because of a number of factors, I decided that I would leave Hankering for Yarn. I grieved it and missed Hankering for Yarn, and the community of readers, terribly! So, when recently, I was invited to return to b5 media and begin writing Hankering for Yarn again, I was delighted.

There have been a heap of changes and I am soooooooooooo excited to be part of the new direction !

One of the biggest changes is that Hankering for Yarn will soon be part of Bliss Tree, which is an oh so nifty website/community.  I am looking forward to seeing how this all unfolds!

I have all sorts of ideas and plans for Hankering for Yarn, so stay tuned!

I will be playing with all things yarn:

Which is why I combined all those things in the picture.

If you can tell me what everything in the picture is, leave a comment in the comments section below, and you’ll win a prize!

Alrighty… you have until Tues March 10 to list off everything in the pic, and tell me what it’s for….

and yes…. there is a  mystery object in the picture…. let’s see if anyone gets it!  LOL!

I feel like I have come home again…..  I am happy dancing! Won’t you join me?

Thank you so much everyone who has posted so far…. I had planned on masking the answers, but woke up this morning to discover that answers were showing up….. oops!
That really ticked one reader off, ~sorrrrrrrrrrry~
SO – being a very creative hoppitty bunny, I am going to award MORE than one prize!
Alrighty?

    In the picture you have:
    Ridgid Heddle
    A loving helping hand
    A ball of spun yarn
    A Nostepinne
    A Drop Spindle
    A Yarn/Thread holder possibly for bobbin lace or other fiber crafts, embroidery?
    A Spool knitter
    Knitting Needles
    A wooden crochet hook
    A tatting shuttle
    and I think these are all the wonderful tools made by you Noreen. What a fun bunch of things to view and to do crafts with.
    Thank you.

    Debbie

    Hi Noreen, Glad to see you are back and up to your old self. I guessed all of your tools except the ridge heddle. Not being a weaver I thought it might be a hook gauge! Guessed the mystery item looks somewhat like a nose clip for those that swim? I can’t think of anything else it might be. Take care…. Marge

  10. By Vickie Citter

    lol, I didn’t know half of them, and don’t want to copy answers! Just glad you’re back here and eager to see this grow!

    Great Noreen, love to see and read about all your neat things. I think you will have lots of contenders for your “prize”. I sure wouldn’t have gotten all your items on a list. So have a great contest.
