A Hooping Adventure and a Handmade Giveaway!

 

Yep, you read that right -- I am teaching a hooping fitness class at Gold's Gym, starting tonight (I know the flyer says October 8, but that changed).  I am so scared/excited/in awe that I don't know what to do with myself.  I hope that the folks enjoy the class tonight, and I hope God will give me courage in a room full of eyes and mirrors! 

In honor of this auspicious day, I am giving away this crocheted cowl, which I just put the finishing touches on yesterday. It's soft and perfect for chilly autumn days when you don't feel like wearing a full-on scarf.  However, I've run up against a little dilemma. I am not sure which of the photos from my cowl modeling session best shows it off.  Eventually I'd like to sell crocheted items on my Etsy shop, Shots 'n' Knots.

So, to enter to win this cowl, simply post in the comments which of these photos you like the best (access the full-sized images here):
