As promised, I'm doing a giveaway to thank all of you who come back again and again (and even those of you who are here for the first time!). It really means a lot to me that so many people stop by to see what I'm working on. I love reading your comments and emails, getting your input, and feeling your encouragement. It keeps me crafting!
So I give you ... Preppy Dog, handmade by yours truly. It's been a while since I've made a sock animal, and I found a great pair of argyle socks that reminded me of fall, and back-to-school preppy style. I also crocheted him a little scarf since it is starting to feel crisp outside. I love fall - it is my very favorite season.
He's not quite as serious as he looks, even when he puts on his tough-guy face. For a chance to win, just leave a comment by midnight on Sunday, October 5. I'll use the handy, unbiased
Random Number Generator to pick a winner. No anonymous comments please!

Hi Jill,
I have had your blog on my Google Reader for some time now. I love it and I am glad that you are back from your "pregnancy hibernation". I enjoy seeing all the things you make and I even looked for you when Martha was on TV last week or so ago.
I found your blog when it was highlighted by Blogger way back in Feb(?).
Your preppy cool dog would be welcome in my home. :)
Natalie
He is so cute....love the prop styling with crossed arms! I really enjoy your blog and have enjoyed seeing how you prepare for your new arrival. I am expecting baby number two right now. Thank you for your inspiration.

Awesome dog. I can't remember how I found your blog, but it makes my biological clock tick like crazy, much to my guy's anxiety.
You are my crafty inspiration :) I have made many a burp cloth and bib and they are such a hit. I think I want to tackle the shirt pocket quilt next.
Many congrats on the pregnancy.
I think I love Preppy Dog. :) I've been lurking around for a while -- don't remember if I've ever commented before or not -- but I love your burp cloth tutorial. I've made and given them as gifts to several pregnant friends over the last few months, and they are always a huge hit.
Thanks for all the ideas!

Preppy dog is very cool. I love reading your blog. As a result of one of your sock animal posts I bought the book and spent an entire weekend making animals with some kids that i was looking after.
Keep up the good work. You're an inspiration

Loved your blog for months and it's reawakened my crafty side so much that I spent 3 hours last night on my latest project!

I would love preppy dog. It is so cute and it would be a fun friend for my sock monkey :-).
i've loved your blog and crafts ever since i found you last fall. particularly because your world seems so different living out in the big city compared to living in a midwest small town! :)
I love him! He is so very fall-ish.
I've enjoyed reading your craft ideas. You are very creative.
I would love to win him for my grandchild due in March. What a wonderful puppy, it may be the only one this child gets. Dad likes cats! Mary

I started reading your blog when it was featured months ago! I check all the time to see what beautiful new things you've made. Sorry I haven't commented before to tell you how impressed I am with your crafting skills! I guess the preppy cuteness of Sock Dog has finally dragged it out of me.
I hope I win!!! I love your work you are so talented :)
He's cute. I hope he'll come to Slovenia and guard my girls.
Nothing like a good contest to bring us lurkers out of hiding! I also love your blog. I just made the bird mobile for my neighbor and it turned out UBER cute!
Fingers crossed! I've finally finished a craft project - check out my hat and scarf attempt.

How much longer til the little guy gets here? I'm excited for you.
I have still yet to try making a sock animal.. I got a nice collection of socks that I put together though :).. My 1 yr old daughter would love this guy, she is crazy about animals, I hope I win!
PS- I absolutely LOVE your blog, and it has inspired me to start one of my own and take out all my crafting supplies from storage!
Jill, you are perfectly amazing! I wouldn't miss this chance to win a piece of your talent!
I hope you and your belly are doing well. And hopefully we'll bump into you soon!
