Congratulations to Dominique who is the big WINNER of my 3 Year Blogiversary Giveaway!  Thank you so much to everyone who scoured the archives of my blog and participated- it’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the hunt, read some of my old posts, and discovered some new projects and pages along the way!  I really appreciate everyone’s kind e-mails filled with so much encouragement and support 🙂  

In case you were wondering, here are the answers to the giveaway questions:

1) What was my very first original amigurumi design? Chinese New Year Doll (“Jigglypuff” was the first amigurumi I blogged about it, but I was following Wolfdreamer’s pattern.  "Cupcake Bear“ was modeled after "Amigurumi Kingdom’s” work and I never blogged about the pattern.  "Chinese New Year Doll“ was the first amigurumi we designed from scratch as we made a sketch of her, figured out her parts and wrote and released the full pattern for her.  It’s listed as my first original amigurumi creation under my ”Patterns“ page!)

(2) What was the title of my very first blog post? "And so it begins…”

(3) About how old was I when I first started crocheting? 10 years old

(4) What size crochet hook do I like to use for most of my amigurumi? 2 mm

(5) In the “Amigurumi & Crochet Blog Directory” that I compiled, how many blogs are from South America? Seven

BONUS: What is my favourite video game?  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I loved making my “Link” amigurumi and designing his Hylian shield, and I stated that this was my favourite game in the “Animethon 2013” post!)

Many people answered all of the above questions correctly including the bonus- thank you so much for following and supporting my blog, and for being so attentive!  Congrats again to Dominique and stay tuned this week for another giveaway and a project that I had a lot of fun working on!
