Time for a customer appreciation giveaway!

When I started knitting, I never imagined I would be sharing the items I knit with so much care and love and joy with so many people. Even moreso I never imagined “selling” them! Beyond that I didn’t think I’d ever be doing as much as I am with my love of knitting. I thoroughly enjoy knitting for preemies in the NICU, full term babies in the NICU even, and you all have inspired me to do even more. Photography props were something that came about from a local photographer who was looking for someone to knit in exchange for the use of photos the knits were used in. I never imagined making something that someone wanted to enhance their beautiful infant photography. I researched, purchased patterns, made sure I could sell the items I purchased patterns for and that’s where my love of photography props began. I wish I could photograph as beautiful as you photographers do but since I cannot I will leave that art to YOU. I appreciate everyone who is a fan of Little Knit Knacks and who has made me what I am today and helped me to flourish in my love of knitting!

I will soon be getting into some crochet too. When I do you will all be able to benefit from my love of making items for photography, babies, and the family! As part of my customer appreciation DAY I want to announce that each of these people responded to “where, how, who” they learned about Little Knit Knacks and came to be fans of my page. Without you I would not be doing this and sharing across the United States!

C. Child’s Hat



The customer appreciation drawing was inspired not only by my fans but also by my friend Lee Ann Stehle who has helped me so much with more than she could imagine. Just by being such a wonderful mom to her son Luke who is need of medical care out of the State of Arkansas to check into his sleep disorder. He also has epilepsy. I am not sure of everything this wonderful little boy has going on, but his incredible mom (and dad) have never given up, ever. So Lee Ann this one’s for Luke!

PS Olivia's entry was removed because she is my daughter and I can make her anything at anytime. # Sorry Liv! I renumbered everyone starting at 12 where Olivia's name was.

Ok I have you all noted who are highlighted and have the item you'd like to be entered for. Thank you for responding so quickly. We'll give it a couple of days. I hope everyone responds back. Also Olivia won't technically be in the drawing, she's my daughter, I can make her anything at any time. So there's really only 29. :)
