Claudia received her prize package, and she said: “I received my package today, and I love! The hooks, the yarn, everything is just so awesome. Thank you so much. I already started a beanie for my grandson.”

I received a message from Teresa D. on 20Jan20 and she said: “Well I just found your message now I know what all those numbers are for in messenger. I just wanted to let you know that I wasn’t ignoring you. And thank you for picking me and I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner but I’m sure someone else is very happy.

BONUS ADDITION ON 25NOV19:

I am adding a butterfly wing stitch marker case from Pastiche Accessories as well as a few Pastiche Accessories stitch markers of my choice (I am not an affiliate of Pastiche Accessories, nor am I sponsored by them).

I was crocheting my “Rozeta,” when I had to break out my own Pastiche Accessories stitch marker tin with all of my favorite stitch markers that I have collected from Pastiche Accessories. It was “VERY” helpful to have so many stitch markers!! I thought that it would also make a perfect gift for a crocheter! So, I decided to add one to my Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Member package random free giveaway at the end of the year!

Here is the YouTube video that I made showing all of the contents:

Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Member Benefits Cont:

3. Members are eligible for 2 free paid patterns for the year 2019.

4. I will now only take special crochet requests for monetary donations of $20.

5. Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Members can request charities that they would like to help with crochet, and I “may” help try to crochet for the same charity and help advertise. Again, I make no promises, but I will try my best.

6. I will continue to place the donor names on the “Gold Brick Helenmay Donor Wall.”

7. Donors can request a PDF written pattern for YouTube video tutorials that don’t have one. I will write the PDF pattern on a first-come-first-served basis. If I get more than one request, I will create a waiting list. A monetary donation of $10 can supersede crochet requests.

The Helenmay Crochet Special Donor Wall will be cleared on 1Jan20 and will start new for the year 2020.
