Do you like to unwind? (Yes, that means unwind yarn and unwind from daily life – LOL)  Of course you do, or you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog post! Hehe! Today, I’m giving away 5 super fun “I Like To Unwind” totes that I designed! Before I get into details, I want to let you know how grateful I am for you during this Thanksgiving season.  One of the biggest joys of my life is this blog and getting to know many of you.  To be able to create these knitting and crochet projects and share them with you is a blessing that I never take for granted. Seeing your projects, reading your comments, emails and more, makes this designing and blogging journey worth every late night.  This Thanksgiving, I’m not only thankful for the food we eat, the roof over our heads, my dear family and friends, but also for you and this creative outlet which has become a giant part of my family’s life.  Today I thought it would be fitting to “give back” a little with a fun giveaway!  I will also be making a donation, with you in mind, to Together We Rise, a non-profit whose mission is to improve the lives of children in foster care.

Last year I designed these totes with the idea that I’d add them to my Etsy shop. (You know, with all my extra free time LOL) However, I am so obsessed with designing patterns, I soon realized that there wasn’t any time to figure out selling and shipping these totes.  Maybe one day they’ll make they’re way into my shop, but for now, I’d like to give some away!

There will be 5 winners! This time, the giveaway is just for US residents only.  If you aren’t in the US, please understand that my hubby’s doing me a favor to take these to the post office and I don’t want to ask him to figure international shipping this time.  You are important to me all the same and I hope to do an international giveaway one day!

You will find that email entry is mandatory, and you can gain extra entries by following Mama In A Stitch on Instagram, Facebook and/or leaving a here on the blog! Comments and likes are encouraged but not required over on Facebook and Instagram.

To be eligible, you must be 18 years of age or older, with a valid, USA shipping address. False, fraudulent, or deceptive entries or acts will render entrant(s) and entries ineligible.

The winner will be contacted by email, and must reply to that email or and provide the shipping address within 1 week in order to receive the prize. By entering this giveaway, entrant consents to the use of their email address for this purpose. If the winner does not reply within 1 week, a new winner will be selected. By entering this giveaway, you consent your email address to be added to my mailing list here at Mama In A Stitch. 

Giveaway ends 11/27/18 at 12AM Eastern.

Remember, there will be FIVE WINNERS!

Best of luck to each of you!  Thank you for your support and friendship!

  140. Having a terminal illness, I appreciate each and every day – good or bad – and look to find good in spite of it all! I put my knitting needles away (in the trash) 35 or so years ago only to buy a new pair a year or so ago. I needed something to do when I have to sit; and I have to sit often since I have a lung disease. Seriously, like many, I get a ton of emails every week but I look forward to receiving the ones from my children and from Mama in a stitch the most. I love the sunshine every day brings (even when it’s hidden behind a cloud); my husband (who never asked for these medical problems of mine when we married 3 years ago); my sons and beautiful grandchildren and I can’t ignore the medical staff who will hopefully perform the transplant I hope to receive. Thank you to “Mama” for being a bright spot & encouraging me – without knowing it – to keep knitting!! I am blessed!

    1. I am thankful for being able to share my love of knitting and crocheting. My friends and family are always on the receiving end of my hand made items.

    2. Dear Jennifer! I just waid your message, and I would like to send you from Switzerland Gstaad. All my LOVE for Thanksgiving day! Diane on the GO!

  155. I’m thankful for my family. My parents are both gone so it’s just me, my brother and my niece and nephew. It’s done on a much smaller scale than when my mom was with us but we still share a meal and spend the afternoon together. We’re blessed.

  162. I’m thankful for the healing and graces I received through the strategic use of Doterra essential oils,and the people who entered my life via sharing and learning more about natural solutions. It’s given me the mental & physical space for my yarn & crafty time!

I am thankful for the short time we have on earth to give of ourselves. Happy Thanksgiving!

  230. I am grateful for all of the blessings that have come our way, but especially for the wonderful care that my husband, David, is receiving at the VA while battling a stage 4 glioblastoma tumor in the frontal lobe of his brain.

  235. My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet when I was 8. She was very patient! Last year, when I turned 61, I had a major stroke. Now God, brilliant doctors, and family brought me through. This year I am able to crochet and knit 🙂 with a few problems; for instance, I am lost counting so I need to write every 10 stitches and rows. The totes make me remind to get the doctor’s order to unwind or nap every day. I can’t do without it.

  236. I am thankful for my family. And thankful for people like you that provide beautiful for us to make.

  237. My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet when I was 8. She was very patient! Last year, when I turned 61, I had a major stroke. Now God, brilliant doctors, and family brought me through. This year I am able to crochet and knit 🙂 with a few problems; for instance, I am lost counting so I need to write every 10 stitches and rows. My first was your lil’ mountains purse pouch and cascading kimono. The totes make me remind to get the doctor’s order to unwind or nap every day. I can’t do without it; I have a new life to be thankful for from God and the people He sent me.

  238. So enjoy your blog. Always nice to be able to follow energetic, younger women who leaving their mark in our world. Keep following your dreams, and bringing us such pretty patterns and products.

  245. Hi Jess. Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? I envy your spectacular views of the mountains. We live in the central part of Pennsylvania. Not really in the mountains, but not too far away from them. I’ve been enjoying your blog since about the time you started it. I always look forward to the next release. I love the clean lines of your designs and the well written directions. Have a wonderful Christmas, and a very Happy New Year. Keep following your dreams!

  247. I am thankful for my Lord from whom all Blessings flow. My home, my family, our health. My eyesight to read your blog & my hands still able to crochet. I have diabetes.

And I am ever so grateful for the beautiful patterns you create and share with us. Thank you for blessing us with your talents.

  257. I’m thankful for “discovering” that I enjoy crocheting as much as I enjoyed knitting. I developed carpel tunnel years ago and couldn’t knit anymore, but this summer on Insta I found so many crafters that gave me inspiration to teach myself to crochet for beautiful modern blankets and bags. I’m grateful for your Inst, blog and patterns – your creations are so beautiful and the patterns encouraging!

  258. I am thankful for my son and husband who keep me grounded. I’m also thankful for a new house that has enough room for me to have a crafty space (finally!!).

  259. The amount of things I am thankful for would fill this blog. I am a recovered alcoholic and addict for 25 years now and I almost lost it all. I guess the best thing to say is I am gratedful for everything!

  261. First, let me thank you for giving to foster care children, (I was one)!!♡

    I’m thankful for each new day, family, friends and people like you!
    I am thankful for all your patterns, and all your hard work and sharing with us!

  264. I’m thankful to the woman who taught me to crochet and I thank myself for teaching myself the craft again after a brain bleed took all of my memories.

  267. I am thankful to have good people in my life. I’m thankful to have found a wonderful craft and craft family to fall back on if I need. Where it doesn’t matter your color, sex, religion, or wage. It’s all about friendship, what a novel idea.

  269. I love your patterns, Jessica. I recently mad you ‘Mod Mesh Sweater’. It the largest wearable I’ve ever made. It was very easy, and yet I leaned a lot (blocking for one. Please continue adding patterns. Your style is amazing.

  270. Thank you so much for creating so many wonderful patterns. I am working on the Little Black Tank Top right now from the kit I bought. I really love that your daughter takes most of your photos. Maybe she will get a good photography job when she’s older! Please receive my entry to the Unwind Tote contest. I have separate totes for all my projects so I an take a project out onto my 30 acres of woods and enjoy the scenery while I knit. Sometimes I knit in some horse hair or chicken feathers from my animals! So many ideas, so little time.
