Happy St. Paddy's: A Contest

It's St. Patrick's Day, a day when all get to wear a bit of green and be Irish for a day. So I thought, what better than to have a little contest to celebrate both National Crochet Month AND St. Patrick's Day!

How to enter:
Create a limerick about crochet and leave it either as a comment here, or you can email it to me. Deadline is midnight (ET) on Friday, March 20th. A limerick is a 5-line poem, and the following is my attempt:


With yarn and hooks all strewn about,
a deep closet crocheter no doubt.
With a knock on the door
she/he learned there were more,
"You are not alone," is what they shout.
You can learn more about limericks here.

My children will be the judges, and one lucky winner will receive these shamrock earrings I designed/crocheted up last night using beautiful "Muse" yarn by Zaol, with milky pearl white bead inserts, mounted on sterling silver french wires. (display stand not included)



UPDATE: For those interested in the crochet pattern for the Shamrock Earrings, it is now available as a free PDF on my website.

    There once was a crocheter named Dee
    Who started to teach for a fee.
    When asked "are you busy?"
    She was all in a tizzy
    And was flown to a conference for free.

    I love it, Pat!
    ... and there's truth to that!
    It changed my life -- forever!
    ~Dee

    PS: looking forward to seeing you @ the Conference :)

    There once was a lady from Burton
    Whose hobby made her hands a-hurtin'
    She crocheted night and day
    Wore the skin clean away...
    Now she's even too tired for flirtin!!

    This entry is from Roxanna, via email:
    There once was a girl from Ohio
    Who hooked in the crocheting style
    Too much yarn in her stash
    So off she must dash
    To the store, to buy more, with a smile.

    This entry is from Avis, via email:
    Ah, tis yarn that I love so much,
    With it's soft and comforting touch.
    But alas, so many patterns and so little time
    So I crochet faster as I write this silly rhyme.

    There once was a young girl name Fay
    Who wanted to learn to crochet
    She joined Crochet Partners
    Had plenty of fun
    And learned to crochet!
