Brown Eyes

You know, I've never understood why everyone goes so crazy over blue eyes. Don't get me wrong, blue eyes can be beautiful, but I've preferred brown eyes for as long as I can remember. To me, they just seem so much richer, deeper, more soulful. I can get lost in a pair of brown eyes in a way that I never could in blue eyes. According to this, I should have brown eyes myself. But I was born with blue eyes, and that's what I'll have to live with.

A while back, I bought a set of knitting looms. I thought it'd be a great, quick way to use up some of my stash. I'd only made it through about half of a hat when I realized that loom knitting just wasn't my thing. I've decided that I will give this set of looms away.


It has four round looms, a looming tool, and plastic tapestry needle. I've lost the instruction booklet, but if I find it before mailing this out, I'll be sure to enclose it. It wasn't that great anyway, and I'm sure you could find better looming instructions online or in a loom pattern book.

Interested? Perhaps you want to try loom knitting yourself, but don't want to spend a bunch of money if you're not sure you will like it. This will be your perfect opportunity to try it at no cost to you. I'll even throw in some yarn for you.

Perhaps you are one of those people who is fascinated with knitting, but it just seems too complicated. Here's a chance for you to turn out beautiful knitted items without having to juggle those needles and that yarn, and at no cost to you, I might add.

Perhaps you already enjoy looming, but like needles, you can never have enough looms. Here's your opportunity to get a spare set at no cost to you.

Perhaps you aren't interested at all, but you have children or grandchildren that you think might like it. Here is a chance for you to get a brand new, almost completely unused set of looms to give to them, at no cost to you. (I made half a hat with the red loom. The others haven't even been touched.)

So, how do I obtain this beautiful, nearly new set of looms, you ask?

That is the fun part. Remember the opening bit about me preferring brown eyes? All you have to do is to guess to whom these 6 pair of beautiful brown eyes belong.

Here's how: Send an e-mail with your guesses to isshinryubearmom@yahoo.com. DO NOT leave guesses in the comments. All comments including guesses will be deleted. Please leave me some way of contacting you--an e-mail address or Ravelry ID is preferred. If I have no way of contacting you, I'll have no way of letting you know you've won, will I?

The winner will be chosen by a random drawing, but here's how you can increase your odds. All entries will get you your name in the hat once. Seriously, all you gotta do is show up and say they are 6 of the 7 dwarves, and you will get your name in the hat. Each answer you guess correctly will get your name in the hat an additional time. If you guess all 6 correctly, that will net you a total of 7 entries.

Also, post about me on your blog or forum. Anyone and everyone who mentions your name will get your name into the hat an additional time.

The contest will run for two weeks, until Sunday March 30th. When I've gotten home from church, I will reveal the answers and draw the winner.

Ready? Let the guessing begin:

1.
2.3.
4.
5.
6.

Hard? Here's a hint: They are all men. They are all fairly well known. Yeah, some of them are more well known than others, but none of them are obscure.

There are: 3 actors/TV personalities, 2 Country music singers, and 1 professional athlete (that one should be a gimmie if you've read my blog for more than a week--but you still gotta put his name with the right pair of eyes!), but no partridge in a pear tree.

Good luck and happy guessing!!

P. S. Tom Selleck isn't one of them. He has blue eyes. Sigh. We can't all be perfect.
