But on to nicer things, namely the giveaway! This month, in honor of a new season, I have chosen some wonderful items generously donated by our {NewNew} talented artists and crafters that connect to the theme of new beginnings.
Our first offering is Kookla Makeup's KoKoGloss Squeeze all natural lipgloss. I love trying out new shades and the beginning of a new season practically mandates it! I can't get over the yummy flavors, including strawberry and citrus punch. Kookla Makeup is a socially responsible company and donates 10% of all profits to charity. Only all natural vegan ingredients go into all their products.
I am super-excited about this next item: a one-hour knitting lesson for beginners in person if you are local (Manhattan or Brooklyn) or a printed tutorial if you are not. The Underground Crafter is a certified crochet instructor and teacher and has been creating things with yarn for over 25 years. I know many of you are dying to learn how to knit and here is your chance!
This photo by AstrOdub challenges us to see something with new eyes. What IS this? To me, it looks like a combination of a tree and something that lives in the ocean. The blue plays so beautifully off of the ocher. And is that a face in there? This is actually a picture of a rusty decayed poster! AstrOdub has a Rust and Decay series that are amazingly beautiful.
I really enjoyed putting this collection together for you.Rules 'n' stuff:

Hello,
I'm a newbie Tunisian crocheter and would love lessons/instructions to further my craft. My first project is the Nautical Afghan by Bonnie Bray. I hope I win! Thanks for the contest.

Hi, I am strictly a crocherter but I have wanted to learn to knit forever so I think that would be cool to get, but I live far away :(
I love Tunisian crochet. I learned it back when it was call the afghan stitch. I'm working on my third mitered square Tunisian blanket, this one as a baby blanket using Deborah Norville Parrot.
I'm new to Tunisian crochet. I recently picked up the new Interweave Crochet Magazine. It has a beautiful vest. The vest has a circle granny square type thing on the back and the rest is done in Tunisian crochet. So I'm trying to learn how to. I've made one tunisian crochet dishcloth. Have a hook ordered and ready to give it a go! Would love the instructions to learn this technique!

I'd like to win a lesson with you. I'm past the lip gloss stage.
Would love to learn more about tunisian crochet
Tunisian crochet, although old as the hills, is really enjoying a renaissance these days. I would love to win!
