The Crochet Lounge™ Birthday, Lounge-versary, & fb Milestone Party!
THE Meet the Designers Giveaway
Who & When?
Who? YOU & Me! When? Remainder of August 2014
Hi! I'm "e" Lee, the Choreographer of Strings & Hooks (Crochet Designer) behind The Crochet Lounge™ patterns. Today, 17 August is the anniversary of my date of birth (Thanks, Mom).
You get to hang out with me for 14 days and learn about these wonderful designers contributing to The Crochet Lounge™ B-day, Lounge-versary & Facebook 25k milestone multi-vendor giveaway!
What?
What?
Over the years, through the evolving social media channels, I have seen some pretty awesome crochet designs by Indie AND professional designers; some are here to support this Giveaway event and I am both honored and thrilled to have them.
Behind every pattern is a creative brain, some nimble fingers, and hours of work.
I've seen (and have run) many a multi-vendor giveaway events attracting thousands of entries and when the event ends, those who have entered would've had no idea what buttons they've clicked, which pages they "liked" or "followed" and for why short of going after that prize package.
In a big event like the one you're about to enter, even the LIST of actions you can take to earn entry points becomes daunting for some.
I am here to change that experience for you, if you'll hangout with me for the next 2 weeks.
How?
How?
You'll see posts from me about each different designer participating in this Giveaway event, and with each one will be the few actions you can take coinciding with the Rafflecopter giveaway app.
You can find the featured designer, click on their set of giveaway entries and be on your merry way not having to worry about clicking through all the buttons in one sitting.
If you miss a feature, just navigate to the post and find your way!
Each of the designer feature blog posts will contain the giveaway app at the bottom as well for easy access.

I have a huge stash but would probably buy yarn and get some projects going
its my birthday
Happy B-day!
thanks
I would make a big dent in my yarn supply if I won the giveaway! I would have a hard time choosing which pattern to make first!
My birthday is tomorrow, the 18th, I would replenish my stash most definitely!
ooo happy early b-day
Thanks!
If I win I would get more pattern books and crochet hooks….maybe yarns.
What to do?! What to do?! I would probably buy yarn. Not that I need it, but I LOVE yarn shopping!
buy more yarn as always
I would get yarn and hook .. and then e-book
Buy all the yarn.
So excited for this!
I’d buy something to keep my yarn in so it doesn’t have to be all stashed behind my couch. And yarn…cause I’m addicted.
buy yarn and go on a vacation where they have more yarn than I can get in my city
I don’t think I would need more yarn, so I would start more wip’s!
start a new project for the grandbaby!
As soon as I get my new home put in order, I would buy new yarn and start a new project.
I would start several new projects!
You can never have to much yarn!! Oh, and I need some new hooks!!
buy more yarn and more yarn~!!! <3
If I won the grand prize I’d probably spend a little bit of time posting all over facebook about it, then I’d hole up in my livingroom and try to figure out what to do first!
Hey, under “share this” the link (http://is.gd/CUhWa1) doesn’t work.
Tried sharing it but it’s an invalid page.
Hey Madeline - thanks for contacting - click the share at the very top of the rafflecopter. I know there is an issue with the twitter link that Rafflecopter inserted and contacted them already. Hope this gets resolved soon <3
Wow if i win a pattern i will start it right away ! I probably have enough yarn what ever the pattern is
I would make a lot of projects…before that jump,jump,jump…:) I would be very happy.:D
I would buy more yarn and pattern books so I could have more WIPs
I really appreciate this chance to win, but this was the most complicated rafflecopter giveaway that I have ever seen!! Definitely would buy more yarn!
It’s different, isn’t it? Most of the Rafflecopter giveaways promote only clicks for an end prize. I’ve found that to attract lots of ‘get it free’ mentalities does not help the crochet designers and people soon forget who they even have clicked on especially in a large multi-vendor giveaway.
It’s my hope that by visiting their blogs and looking around that each designer can establish a connection with the entrants
I’d start another project.
I never have enough yarn (my hubs disagrees) lol so I would probably bit some yarn and start in!
Hmmm that’s a tricky one, I would maybe do both, buy yarn and then start a new WIP!
I would get new hooks first, then yarn.
I would start some new WIP’s.. Love having a variety of projects to choose from!
I would definitely go yarn shopping… And pattern shopping!
I would use up some of my stash trying out new patterns.
I would buy yarn and maybe some new hooks for my new WIP’s! lol
I would see what yarn I had and start projects. If there’s one I really want to start (or two or three or more), guess I would have to go buy some more yarn…..
Work on wip’s. I have SO many things I want to make, but not enough cash flow right now to buy the yarn for them.
I would try to figure out what wip`s to start with.
Need one wip for home and one easy/small one for when being on the go.
Breathe in a paper sack to help myself calm down.
Lol. Then buy some more yarn to get started on some amazing projects! 
I would definitely start more projects. (:
It would take me forever to decide which patterns to try first. I already have a lot of yarn, but I would probably need more!
Not sure if I’m linking my facebook & google+ shares properly. I’m just pasting a link to MY page. The shares themselves don’t have a link or do they?
Each share does have a distinct link, but if your post is publicly visible that should be fine
Thank you!
It would take at least a week to pick which to start first! Then I would probably buy yarn, even though I have plenty. Thank you and congrats! and Happy Birthday!
LOL! Thank you
and the next week you’ll be picking 3 more (after 3 weeks you may just have 20 new WIPs)
i would probably buy yarn!
I would be more than happy to start all kinds of new projects :o)
I am loving finding all these new sites through the giveaway
Oh and probably buy yarn
<3 do come back and visit as the designers get featured :) The Mamachee Story is an amazing video. You can find it here -> http://thecrochetlounge.com/mamachee-tara-murray-crochet-designer-feature/
I would deffinately be starting new projects with winning the grand prize. So many things to make and never enough time lol.
I would buy lots of yarn to start new wips for the new grand baby due in Nov. and my beautiful grand daughter.
I would definitely buy lots of yarn and start lots of new projects! Since it’s getting close to fall, I would probably make some Christmas presents too!
I’m itching to start something new so, WIP!
good luck everyone!!
If I won that many patterns, I would definitely have the perfect pattern for all of the yarn in my stash, although I’m sure I’d be inspired to buy more if I didn’t.
I would use up the tons of yarn I have
and make a lot of things for my grand girls and for my daughter who is a New Born photographer 
Thank you for the opportunity 
I would buy the yarn to star the project.
I hope if I win I get this, ’cause I live in Spain…:-)
You sure will! All patterns and Too Yarn Cute e-magazine are digital!
I would buy some new yarn specifically for myself and make myself something nice
So many lovely designers and sites to visit via the links on here. Exploring this beautiful yarny world is keeping me from my housework … oh well, hey ho!!
teeheehee - these are some of the designers I have loved over the years or are up and coming that I admired their works in - more features soon to come
If I win I would by all the yarn I can and start crocheting projects.
I would enjoy buying some yarn and thread and some much needed new hooks…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Thank you
and Do visit these designers - they are AMAZING at what they do!
If I won, I think I’d spend a good deal of time sorting through and trying to decide where to start. And then I’d go spend money I don’t have on yarn to make something.
My stash stays low due to funds and space, but a WIP is always appropriate!
If I won I would jump up & down screaming “I won! I won!” as my husband and children look at me like I’m crazy
Hi and thanks for this opportunity!! I woul buy some yarn for sure and I would make full of new things for my kiddos!!
I was actually talking this over with my fiancé this evening about if I win and he even said “More patterns… Does that mean you’ll need more yarn?” LOL. So I would definitely buy more yarn to help keep me working steadily through the patterns!
I would SO be replenishing my yarn stock… after I looked over every pattern to see how many more WIP’s i’m going to have…
I would run to the nearest yarn store and get some great yarn and start my favorite pattern!
The first thing I would do would be to have my husband help me pick what to make next lol!
So exciting! I think I would pee myself if I won.
Then jump up and down. Then bury myself in yarn for a while.
I would first faint & then once my Hubby picked me up off the floor I would run to my yarn stash and start dozens of new projects! =)
I try to only buy yarn when I have a project in mind, so definitely will be hitting the lys.1
Buy yarn, crochet, repeat.
I would def have to buy more yarn and get busy making all those amazing patterns!
If I`m the lucky winner I would probably see if there is any project I can make with the yarn I already have. But I would probably end up buying lots of yarn anyway
If I win, I would try to start to use up the MOUNDS of yarn that is already in my house with some (what I can only assume will be awesome) patterns.
If I win I would be overwhelmed and not sure what to do first! But then I would calm down and get patterns that would help me grow and enhance my skills as a crocheter! Thank you so much for this giveaway!
I would be overwhelmed at first if I won! Then I would pull myself together, and start crocheting patterns to help enhance my knowledge and skills! Thank you so much for this giveaway!
If I won, I’d have to make a list of projects to make and then get started as soon as possible!
I would totally jump up and down, and then search my stash for yarn to start some new projects!
it would awesome to win. i have lots of yarn and would love to get started on some new wips!!!
If I won, first I’d do a major happy dance, and then I’d start yet another WIP for my husband to yell at me for
I am new to crochet and have been buying tons of yarn. I would love to find some amazing patterns for some upcoming WIP’s!
I would start using some of my new patterns!
If I won the grand prize, I’d go through my stash to see what I can make with what I have, and then I’d buy some more yarn!
Start new WIPs.
Hi I have to decide which patter I need to start working, but the thing that I’m sure that I have to do is visit the yarn shop
If I won, I would probably go and buy more yarn (not that I NEED more haha), and then probably try out a new pattern.
Happy belated birthday! Mine was just 2 days ago on the 27th. Hope you had a great day. I would buy more yarn and start new projects!
Stash bust! Buy more yarn! Stash bust some more! Christmas presents! Charity crochet! (giggling in glee)….
I would make lots of things for my grandkids!
If I won the giveaway, I would obviously have to buy more yarn to start new WIPs. Only because none of the yarn in my stash is going to be the right color, weight, etc
What a great celebration!!
start more WIPs!! (Like I really need more started!!)
I would be in heaven with all of the new projects to start and this would be just in time for my Birthday too
There are so many amazing designers here, I would love to try all of their patterns! Would definitely be immediately trying something new if I won!
If I won I would be doing a ton of new projects. I love making things and this would be a great win.
I would buy yarn and maybe a Furl’s hook. Definitely start new WIPs!
If I won, I would get some much coveted yarns and patterns and then I’d be very busy making things,
i would love to make gifts for loved ones
I would get yarn to start Christmas and next year’s birthday presents.
start lots of new WIPs for my little nephew and of course it would be the best excuse for a yarn shopping spree…!!!
Wow, If I won, I would get to working on all my crocheting. I would be able to donate and give to friends and family!
If I were to win, I’d stript the shelves at Hobby Lobby! Happy Birthday!
Lololol Brenda <3
I would start birthday and Christmas projects. I also have 3 children I like to crochet for.
What would I do?? I would start trying as many patterns as I can, of course!!! And thoroughly enjoy making them!
Start more projects!!!
I would be so excited!!! Yarn to crochet Christmas presents.
I would put down the project I’m working on now, and start another from the prize! After I bought new yarn of course!
I have entered but haven’t seen the email where we have to confirm. I have checked also in Spam folder and not there.
Hey Marcia - I’ve sent you e-mail
Lol! I’ve been to a yarn shop this morning anddd, well you al know what
I’d love being able to make all the entries but going for the yarns and other errands and commissions in morning, and doing the month’s shopping this evening has left me lying on the couch with all the pain of fibromyalgia on their sites, the CFS as well, and unable to do anything else until… I don`t know when!!! Hope you all go on enjoying yourselves and having a great time, as the occasion merits!!! Hugs 
I would go yarn shopping!!!
I would love to win anything!
I would stock up on yarn & get some new WIP’s going!
I would like to win, it would be a nice gift for my mother for Christmas She loves to crochet, .
It would be fantastic to win; my only income is DLA so my crochet spending is rationed.

I would love to fulfill all of the requirements to enter but I do not have a Twitter or Instagram account. I completed what I could, sorry!
still cant paste the last questions answer on ether the mobile link or this page . so frustrating
Not quite sure what you are referring to - your response to someone else posted, too
There’s no other pending comments from you.
I would go yarn skipping and then plan out all my new projects!! What a fun giveaway!!
I would buy yarn for some surprise Christmas projects. Somehow my family always manages to sneak a peek into my projects bag and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to surprise anyone. Usually the fanciest of yarns are only bought for commissions or big occasions, so I could hide some fancy yarn projects in my commissions and finally surprise my family for a change!
Well, first I’d dance around like a goofball because I’d be ecstatic to have won. Then I’d go out and buy a ton more skeins of yarn and start working on Christmas presents.
i just want to buy some patterns and hopegully win some too! i want to continue my crochet dreams despite the little money i have
I would have enough patterns for many Christmas gifts. I lobe giving gifts from my heart.
