It's contest time again!
Knitters are by far a generous group of people. We see proof of these generous acts all over blogland. So when it came time to hold another contest here at Midnight Purls, I thought that instead of going the guessing game route as I have been, I'd ask everyone to do something generous and kind.
I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, and the radio station was talking about how they were working with the Make A Wish Foundation to try and make a local boy's wish come true.
For those of you who don't know what the Make A Wish Foundation is, they are the largest wish granting organization here in the US. Since 1980, they have been granting the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions.
To be entered in this contest, all you have to do is go to the Make A Wish Foundation website and make a donation to the chapter of your choosing. It doesn't matter if you donate $1, $5 or more. Donate whatever you feel comfortable giving.
Then email me at midnightpurls at gmail dot com to let me know you donated. (Substitute @ for the at and . for the dot.) Please put the word "Contest" in the subject line so that I can be sure no entries get lost. I'd like for you to let me know how much you donated so I can share the total on the blog at the end of the contest, but if you don't feel comfortable including that information in the email, it is by no means mandatory.
And now for the prize. The winner will receive 2 skeins of handpainted sock yarn. I dyed these hanks back in June, using acid dyes. They are my favorite hanks that I have dyed to date, and they can be yours!
The winner will also receive a cute bag, the perfect size for carrying around a sock in progress hand made by me in their choice of Japanese fabric.
And of course, I'll throw in some other goodies of my choosing along with the sock yarn and the bag.
The contest ends on September 27th at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time. After the contest closes, I will use a random name generator to choose the winner from everyone who donated. Good luck, and thank you for playing along!

I found your blog through Wendy's. Great idea for a contest and I've gone ahead and given my donation. Love the yarn and the fabric choices for the bag.
I came here thru Wendys blog too...
I've donated in memory of my younger cousin.
