The First Giveaway

This Giveaway is now closed.

Giveaway, giveaway (laalaLA laalaLA)!

But not just one, no... one a week!

Why? Well, what you prefer? One person to get one BIG prize, or several people to get smaller (but still totally worth it) prizes? I know which one I'd choose - unless of course I could be sure of winning the BIG prize...

Okay, the first giveaway is...


Yes, my sweet Penninah Pig. This is a picture of my prototype, so you won't get this-exact-one. Instead, you will receive a piggy made with you in mind. 

And she will have at least two dresses... see here for the original post (where you can see her sweet petticoat, too!).

And yes, she is a free pattern, but come on... how many of you would like her, but don't know how to crochet, or don't have time, or don't have the materials handy... this way, you comment, and if your comment is selected (hello random number generator!) she arrives in the mail, all ready to be played with, dressed and undressed, and (of course) admired at great length (she may be a little vain).


But that's not all... there will be some surprises tucked in there too :)


How to Enter

1. Post a comment telling me what you like most about pigs. One comment is enough (if you post multiple, only the first one will be included).

2. Become a follower... let me know in another comment. (Two entries so far!)

3. Let people know! Post on your blog about it, then come back here and write another comment, which includes a link back to your blog. (That's three!)

Please make sure that your comment/s link back to your blog (or include your email - I will never ever give it out or share it with anyone) so I can contact you if you win.

This giveaway is open to everyone, anywhere. It closes on Tuesday the 5th of October at midnight (EST). The winner will be announced this coming Wednesday, the 6th of October.

May a person who adores pigs win!

  5. The thing I love most about pigs is listening to my 2 year old daughter make pig noises! It was the first animal sound that she mastered and it makes me laugh every time!

  6. What a sweet giveaway! I do adore pigs, it would have to be their cute little snouts and the way they snuffle. I wish we could have a real pig where we are but the council won't allow it :( This would be the next best thing!

  8. We had a pig Waldo he loved fruit and he was very attached to my son Skyler when he would come home from school Waldo would be waiting for him and give him rides on his back it was so cute to watch and my favorite movie is Charlottes Web.
    I just knit a wee tiny pig with a bonnet for a swap but can't crochet a toy pig so would love to win one that would be awesome and my girls 6 & 4 would love to play with her too:)Hugs Darcy

  11. OMG that is adorable! I love piggies. Maybe not necessarily real ones, though seriously some can be so cute. I got to hold a piglet at the fair once and fell in love.

  19. Pigs are such intriguing animals. I've wanted to have a real one or two for a few years - have yet to convince DH.... Your little Ms Piggy would give me some comfort for now.
