1 oz of roving, a merino (positive)/silk blend (I am pretty sure) with a hint of glint. Very nice stuff, if not a lot. It would be very good for plying with something else, or blending with something before spinning.
and...
2-3oz skeins of handspun (not of my spinning) I bought at a friends antique/authentic sort of old timey craft store some years back. How quaint, I thought. Handspun yarn from someone’s sheep, I mused! I might knit it up equally charming, I said to myself. I never thought I might be spinning up the like! Alas, I didn’t knit it up, and I think I would like to pass it on. It is a worsted wgt and 2-ply, not terribly bulky, but not fingering either. Also wool, but I don't know anything about what kind.
So anyway, to celebrate such and such a number of hits, and a whatever number of visitors over an equally unassuming amount of time, I will offer these as prizes.
What I ask of you is:
#1 Comment before…uh…how about 5 PM Friday my time, which is mountain time.
#2 Let me know if you want to be in the roving drawing or the yarn drawing, or both, I guess!
#3 Share with me a non-knitting blog you enjoy. It can be of a different crafty persuasion, or humorous, or writterly, and/or containing the wisdom of the ages. I am not picky with other’s addictions. I am looking to expand my horizons. All selfishness here, see.
What I will do:
#1 I will draw 2 names, one for each prize on Friday when I get home from work. Unlike the last time I was giving something away, I am going to be around this week. Who knows…maybe I will be able to hunt up some other goodies to throw in, too.
#2 I will check out the blogs suggested in my never-ending quest for self-enlightenment.
And there it is.

Oh, I'm game! I'd prefer the yarn drawing. As for a blog I like, a new favorite it http://maria-rose.blogspot.com/. Maria has such a positive outlook on life. It's pure happiness.
Thanks for having a contest. I'd prefer the fiber. One of my favorite blogs is www.onepinkgoose.blogspot.com
I'd be interested in either drawing - I'm a knitter who's just learning to spin. A non-knitting blog I enjoy is smittenkitchen.com, which often has recipes I'd like to try making (I'm saving them up for when I have more kitchen space again).
Please enter me in the drawing for the yarn. My favorite non-knitting blog hands down would have to be:

I want her to come decorate my home!
I've got fiber flowing out my ears at the moment, so I'd prefer the yarn drawing, please. I really like the non-knitting dog blog, Three Woofs and A Woo. It's here: http://threewoofs.blogspot.com/
One other that I enjoy is From the House of Edward: http://fromthehouseofedward.blogspot.com/
And, if you're up for a laugh, try Confessions of a Pioneer Woman - http://thepioneerwoman.com/confessions/
Yarn! I wouldn't know what to do with roving.

I would like to be in the drawing for the roving.
I have to say I don't spend a lot time at blogs right now, something about the news and all that.
Here's a blog I used to frequent, but haven't recently:

You might really like the last one - it's a mix of science geekiness and romance and pondering.
