Today marks the 1 year anniversary of my blog! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone? Today I’m going to take a little break from crocheting to tell everyone “Thank you!” When I started Amanda Crochets a year ago, I wanted to have a place where I share my love of crochet with others through tutorials and reviews. I’ve loved every second of it, and it has been a tremendous journey. I am so appreciative of the support I have received from my husband, my readers, and the blogging community. I thank all of you that have taken the time to read my blog, comment on it, or follow it. Without your support, there is no blog, and I’m very humbled by the response. I truly love working on my blog and want to explore new ways to make it even better.
So as a little Thank You for making my first anniversary one to remember, I am hosting a small giveaway. These are some of my favorite items that I enjoy, and I hope you do as well. One winner will get all of the prizes listed below.
First up is my absolute favorite brand of crochet hooks, Clover Amour. I will be giving away one Clover Amour size I-9 crochet hook. I only use this brand of crochet hook as I find them very light to hold and very easy to work with. Plus, they’re a great ergonomic hook as my hands don’t cramp up after hours of crocheting. You can read my review of the Clover Amour Hooks here.
Next, the winner will receive this tape measure, one of the essential tools you’ll need when learning how to crochet. It comes in handy when you need to measure your work to make sure you’re following the pattern correctly. I love how compact this tape measure is and the pink color, of course.
The next item in this giveaway are three skeins of my favorite yarn brand, Deborah Norville Every Day Yarn. I have a review of this yarn, which you can read about here. The color of this yarn is Baby Blue. I absolutely love this yarn and have used it for many different projects including baby blankets, sweaters, and hats. I find that Deborah Norville Every Day Yarn holds up extremely well after washing it and doesn’t pill up at all. It’s durable, but very soft.

Hi Amanda,
I have been enjoying your blog. I learned to crochet as a child and have been re-teaching myself in recent years as stress relief. I just made my first shawl.
Thank you for the kind words! I hope that re-learning how to crochet has been enjoyable for you :) Good luck!
P.S., my blogger name does not match my entry name.
Happy anniversary! :) I love following your blog and seeing all of your positive, uplifting, posts! I'd love to win and use the Baby Blue yarn for preemie hats for my hospital...I used to make them a lot and have gotten out of the habit lately. That yarn looks perfect for them! Thank you so much for running such a generous giveaway! :)

I'd like to win the contest because I have been wanting to try that particular ergonomic hook so I can see how it works for me. And whose yarn stash couldn't use some extras? And since I like to have a tape measure with every project, and I have several WIPs- Don't ask how many- another one can always be handy! Thanks and happy anniversary!
Thank you! I'm sure you will love this brand of crochet hook! I wish you luck!
Happy Anniversary. I would love to win the giveaway so that I could see if the clover hooks help my hands and I would love the yarn to make something for the grandson I am expecting this fall.
Thank you! I wish you luck and congrats on the new grandson ?
Thank you for this chance! Happy anniversary!! I would like to win this because I've always wanted to try one of those hooks!!
