Live! Evening Bag Alert
Here it is, the Glittery Evening Bag! My first Lion Brand pattern came out today, with a story, in their e-newsletter. You can read about it or see the pattern here. In celebration of this big event, I happen to have three gifts to give away! Yup-- I have enough yarn left for three evening bags, and I'd be delighted to mail it off to you. Leave me a comment and say you'd like the yarn to make an evening bag. I will check back in a few days. If there are just three comments, well, you'll all get yarn. (you can, of course, leave a comment without entering the yarn raffle, just don't mention the yarn part!) If you're one of winners, I'll email you to find out your snail mail address, etc. If there are far more than three people who want goodies, I'll have an informal drawing here, chez Seiff. It'll be just like the state lottery, except with dogs.
One other bit of news to share. My web designer snuck up in the middle of the night and posted my new, revised Cuddle Coat pattern for sale on my website! Here are the photos of Happy Joanne, wearing her Cuddle Coat. Both the old version on the left, and the updated one on the right will be getting a lot of use over the next week, as I spend time cuddled up at home. In fact, it's likely that I'll be sitting on the couch, wearing my Cuddle Coat and knitting this New Year's Eve, but that's ok. I can always remember that I used to go out...!

Heh, heh- we used to go out to but now it is hard just to stay up until midnight and watch the ball drop.
I would love to knit your bag Joanne:-) Add me to the raffle!
I'd love to knit it, too, Joanne! Throw me in the raffle box with Elizabeth. :-) Cute little bag, and what a sweet story. How wonderful to get to see you in print of late! - Sam

Thank you,

Well, who WOULDN'T want free yarn and to make a lovely evening bag seems a really good thing to do with it. Just read your blog, the stories about the crack house (I am a psychotherapist who works with dual-diagnosis patients -- those who have a mental illness AND an addiction so I know a little bit about what you mean), and I loved the story of the child who calls you "My people." Children are so wonderful -- would that we could all stay that way.
I love the simplicity of style design mixed with the wonderful colorway of that bag, and I have four daughters who would all love it!
Please enter me in the raffle. I can't wait to start knitting it!

Cogratulations, Joanne! It's great to have a pattern published. Love the story, too; I remember having some "The Jolly Postman" postcards that I used a few years ago for messages to special people.
I'd love to knit the bag - I can use it to sneak knitting into some of the more elegant occasions (opera, symphony - I knit during intermissions!). Or I'll give it to my bag-collecting grandmother, who also knits, but now mostly for charity.
And even if I don't get the leftover yarn - I'll probably knit the bag.
Congrats on the pattern! I get LB newsletter sent to me and when I saw that bag I thought it was very funky! It's so cool to "know" the person who designed it! I would love to make it. Enter me, too!

Congratulations on publication of the pattern, and the comfortable sweater: you do look happy in it! I hope you're all enjoying the holiday. I don't think I need to be entered in the draw; I've got the yarn for another bag looking disconsolately at me every evening :-)
Great job on the evening bag. I'm looking forward to getting some time to knit it! I bet this bag would be great to use up some of the stash I have here, and I've got some nieces who would just love it.
Joanne! I loved the original cuddle coat and now I get to try the updated version! Gorgeous!
