Valentine's Day Giveaway

"Postoji samo jedna sreća u životu - voleti i biti voljen.", reče Džordž Send.

Drage moje, približava nam se i taj dan - Valentinovo. 

Neki priznaju taj praznik, neki ga smatraju marketinškim trikom, ali se sasvim sigurno svako obraduje kada nešto tom prilikom dobije od voljene osobe. Kako bih vam ulepšala 14. februar, odlučila sam da organizujem ovaj giveaway.

Naime, srećnom dobitniku poklanjam šest klupčadi Golf prediva (po dva u svakoj boji - ljubičastoj, rozoj i sivoj). Sastav prediva je 100% pamuk, a proizvođač St. George.

Pravila igre su sledeća: 

1. Ostavite komentar ispod ovog posta kojim se prijavljujete za giveaway.

2. Kako biste povećali šanse da osvojite nagradu ostavite još jedan komentar. Budući da je "crveno boja ljubavi", u komentaru postavite link do fotografije nekog svog ručnog rada koji je crvene boje. Ukoliko ih imate više, učinite to u više komentara.

3. A da bi vam šanse bile još veće, ostavite još jedan komentar u kome ćete navesti svoju omiljenu izreku, strofu ili pesmu vezanu za ljubav.

Komentare možete ostavljati do 13. februara 2011. u ponoć, a na Dan zaljubljenih skoknite do bloga da vidite ko je srećni dobitnik!

Kako bih svečano otvorila ovo takmičenje, prilažem sliku svog crvenog prsluka, jednog od mojih prvih radova nakon dugogodišnje pauze u pletenju. Mustru sam skinula iz nekog prastarog izdanja časopisa "Pletenje", a kroj je rađen napamet. 

A za kraj vas ostavljam izrekom mudrog Alberta Ajnštajna:

"Držite ruku iznad vrelog šporeta jedan minut i činiće vam se kao da je trajalo sat. 

Sedite pored lepe devojke jedan sat i činiće vam se kao da je trajalo minut. 

To vam je relativnost."

Srećno! Jedva čekam vaše komentare!

My dear readers, the day is almost here - St. Valentine's Day.

Some of you acknowledge the holiday, others think of it as a marketing trick, but surely everyone gets that warm and fuzzy feeling when they receive a present from a loved one on that occasion. In order to brighten up this day for you even more, I have decided to organize this giveaway.

So, the lucky winner gets six skeins of Golf yarn (two skeins per colour - purple, pink and gray). The yarn is 100% cotton, made by our local yarn producer, St. George.

These are the rules: 

1. Leave a comment under this post to apply for the giveaway.

2. To boost up your chances of winning the prize, leave another comment. Since "red is the colour of love", put a link in this comment which will lead us to a project of yours which is (mostly or completely) red. If you have more than one red project, leave a comment for each.

3. And in order to increase your chances even further, leave another comment in which you will share with us your favourite quote, verse or poem about love.

You can leave your comments until midnight on February 13th 2011, and make sure you visit the blog on Valentine's Day to check who the winner is!

I am opening the competition by posting the picture of my red vest, one of my first projects after a long, long break from knitting. The pattern is taken from an old edition of "Pletenje" magazine, but the shape of it is all mine.

In the end I leave you with a quote from the brilliant Albert Einstein:

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. 

Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. 

That's relativity."

Good luck! I look forward to your comments!
