Chasing Leprechauns
March 15, 2008
The etsy shop is updated as of 4 PM EST. All of it is self striping. I’m trying to do an update every 2-3 weeks just so I’m not stuck on etsy for hours listing skein after skein. There are fun new spring colors I’m working on for the next update.
Monday is one of my favorite holidays, so much so I always take vacation for it. My great grandparents were from County Mayo. I still struggle to believe my great grandma changed her name from Bridgette to Agnes when they arrived in America because of all the anti-Irish sentiment. I’m only a quarter Irish but I love celebrating my heritage. It’s only fitting that the contest this month relates to the wearing of the green!
You can win this skein of Rainbow’s End (which now looks like daisies to me - oh well) and some other assorted goodies.
Leave a comment below telling what what famous Irish phrase these initials stand for:
EGB
All correct entries will be entered to win. One random winner will be picked. You must enter by 4 PM EST on March 17, 2008. Only one guess/post per person. I’ll pick the winner either after 4 PM Monday or sometime on Tuesday. May the luck of the Irish be with you!
Entry Filed under: Lovesticks, contest, dyeing, shop update, yarn. .

Erin Go Bragh! I think it means “Ireland Forever.”
Since my name is Erin, in college, I was nicknamed “Erin Go Bragh-less”. Har, har.
Smiles,
Erin
