I love the new year. For me, it’s a time of reflection, introspection and prioritizing. I always make a list of specific goals and keep them visible through the whole year. Then, at the beginning of the next year, I analyze how I did. I don’t always hit goals, but sometimes I do! Even though it’s not 100%, I am closer to the kind of person I want to be by shooting for something better than myself each year.

January is also a time to purge. That sweater that I keep telling myself I will wear someday? Off to a thrift store! The junk drawer that I have been avoiding for 365 days? Organized and dejunked!

I also wanted to do some giveaways, specifically getting rid of some yarn from my stash that has been discontinued (I do not like designing with yarn that you can’t find to recreate my projects!). 

I didn’t end up purging and much as I would like, but I did find some very pretty things that I wanted to giveaway. Some of this pretty yarn is not actually discontinued, I just wanted to show my appreciation for you!

When you follow along with me, read my emails, share my blog links on social media or comment with words of encouragement and positivity, you are quite literally supporting my blog and my family and I am so SOOOO grateful. Words can’t express my gratitude and I wish I could buy a gift for every single person who has helped make Whistle and Ivy was it is.

  1. I had ordered the vol. 1 & 2 of the plaid collection. But the files wouldn’t download. Said it wa s failure. Can you please help me get these. Via email thank you, Elaine

  2. Thanks for all you do! It is amazing how crochet and knit really came back with a BANG the past 5 to 10 years. I was taught back in 1978 by my grandmother. I love your patterns and your videos are very helpful. In the entries if we are subscribed already do we not put subscribe in the entries? I know there is only a few hours left so I just did the quick enter. Thanks again! Amanda

  3. Thank you Bethany! Happiest New Year to You and Yours 🥳 What an awesome giveaway! I love following you and your patterns are beautiful 💜 Thank you for sharing your creative gift in crocheting with us all.

  4. Happy New Year and thank you for your generosity. After making Christmas gifts for my family my stash is getting low. :) Can’t wait to see what you come up with next. Have a great day!!

  5. Hello!! I was just wondering when the drawings take place so we know when to be on the lookout and exactly what is the email that a notification of a win will come from? You or Rafflecopter? I’d hate for an email that someone won one of these awesome giveaways to go to their Spam folder!

    Thank you for sharing your passion! Thank you for helping make crocheting cool and contemporary so it doesn’t become a dying art!

    Crochet is not a thing of the past! In fact it’s ALL THE RAGE!! 🤗
