Yarn Candy By Melissa *Giveaway*
Ok. I admit, I flubbed this one up. I'm making up for it though! See, Melissa from Yarn Candy By Melissa- sent these in for the February box and also included a beautiful (stunning reall) shawl pin for a giveaway. I kept passing over it I think because it was in an organza bag and I kept thinking it was a sachet.
It's all perfect timing though, because Melissa is having a big sale in her shop! In case you don't happen to win this lovely piece here, you can pop by and pick up one for yourself- Mother's Day is fast approaching- wouldn't this make a lovely gift?
One of the (many) things I like about Melissa's shop are her tiny enamel stitch markers. I showed you all in January, they are so light weight you can use them on the most delicate lace projects and hardly notice they are there- except that they are super bright and cute!
Please visit YarnCandyByMelissa today and find something you like, write about it below here and I will draw the winner tomorrow along with our other giveaways. Remember I will count your extra twittering, facebook, blogposts etc as extra entries for you!
Thank You Melissa for contributing these lovelies! We hope you'll consider contributing to the box again.

Aigh! She has my favorite kind of stitch marker, ever, which are the soft rubber ring type. I know, not fancy, but these are my go-to type of markers that I always like to have on hand. And she has COLORS! ::swoon:: I love her shawl pins and I would use those too, but my jaw hit the desk when I saw those stitch markers.

I liked two kinds of stitch markers the best, the 10 Mini Seahorse Stitch Marker and the 5 Silver Goldfish Stitch Marker!!

I have those rubber stitch markers and they are great, BUT since I've gotten lots of pretty stitch markers, I prefer them for the esthetics. Lots of pretty ones in her shop that I may need at a very reasonable price.
Love the shawls pins too, especially the large cobalt one.
I'll post this on my blog:

Augh! What DON'T I like?! I love the sea-themed polymer stitch markers and all of the shawl pins. I think I know where I'm getting my mom a shawl pin for the shawl I'm planning on making her!
Honestly I her shop is a little bit of heaven all the rubber stitch markers in interesting colors as well as the rainbow minis. The old fashioned girl in me loves the stick pins but especially the scarlet one.
I love the Super Cute Mini Mix (Vibrant) - 8 Enamel Stitch Markers.

I was one of the lucky ones who got a shawl pin in my box that month-see beautiful little green heart with a string of black dancing through it,4th from bottom in center pix - I loved it so much I ran to her store & bought the most beautiful hand blown large shawl pin in shades of brown,copper & gold that was perfect for the shawl I'd made my DD. She's great, delivery was super fast, and it came in a beautiful little bag. Now I'm loving the little heart stitch markers in pastel and bright colors. They're adorable & would certainly put a smile on my face while I was working :-)
I love those little rubber stitch markers. They are so convenient.

I love the prize pin. It's too hard to choose a favorite on the website. I'll study them when I have time but I like the stick pins very much.

The mini star stitch markers are so adorable!!
My favorite are the golden leaf stitch markers! So sweet and pretty!
I love the Swarovski Crystal Pearl shawl pins, especially the one with the brown-black stone
Loved all the shawl pins, but really loved the Cobalt Green Handmade Glass Shawl Scarf Pin. Lovely.
I'm in love with everyone of her shawl pins and those little enamel stitch markers! But the bestest part has to be that she's in Langley! Yay! Go Canadian crafters!
I love the little mini mix markers. They remind me of little candies. :)
Just adoring the rainbow heart stitch markers. So cute!
I love her shawl pins. My favorite is the amber one with the brown spots that look like a leopard.

I love the sea themed polymer clay stitch markers, the tiny sea horse stitch markers, and all the colorful rubber ring stitch markers (sorry, couldn't choose just one thing!)
Her pins shawl pins are all so gorgeous! I want em all! Beaded Shawl Scarf Lapel Stick Pin, is my favorite though.
I love everything in her shop! Wowee. Definitely the shawl pins, and the COLOURED itty bitty rubber stitch markers. Those are super awesome!
I love the idea of the rubber stitch markers and the colors are amazing!
Melissa's handmade beaded stick lapel pin (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17517933) reminds me of something you would see included in piece of romantic Victorian era ephemera. The deep hues of amethyst and jet are stunningly contrasted by a single shimmery pearl bead. I love the antiquarian look of this piece, stunning yet simple, with tons of romance. Beautiful!
Lots of pretty things! Especially like the sea green large beaded shawl/scarf/lapel pin :)

What gorgeous items! I adore the colors of all, but I do have some favorites...
To begin, I adore the fact that she has the soft rubber ring stitch markers. Those slide nicely off of my needles, and the different colors are fantastic. I always have trouble finding them in more colors than just green and purple..this poses quite a problem when I want to use different colored markers to mark various things within one pattern.. so - the fact that she offers more colors is fantastic. I will be ordering some soon!
Beyond that, I love the following pins:

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24090265
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18371313
the colors are fantastic, and the price appears to be right. I see myself placing a large order in the near future. :)
A shawl pin is just what I need to hold my lightweight sweater closed!
