Happy Valentines Day Hook contest WINNER IS>> TABITHA

We have a WINNER!!  Tabitha was lucky number 38, which was chosen by a random number generator.  Tabitha, please email me at jimbocrochetwhittler@yahoo.com with your mailing info and I'll get the Valentiny hook to you asap.  Thank you all for participating!  Hope everyone's Valentine Day was the best ever!
Jimbo


Of the two hooks shown in the picture, one is to be given away for Valentine's day, cause I like you so much.  The other is just showing off because it's already sold (custom order).  So which one is the Valentine hook?  You have to guess.  Tough one, eh?  Ok I'll give you a hint.  The Valentine hook is made of Padauk, the custom order, show off hook is made of Cocobolo.  Another hint?  Ok.  The Valentine hook has a sort of Valentiny decoration.  Cinchy, right?
Ok so here's how you do the contest.  Simply leave  a comment (one entry per person, please) here in my blog or if that doesn't work for you, you can email me your Valentiney entry at  jimbocrochetwhittler@yahoo.com .  I'll do a random number generator drawing somewhere in the vicinity of 10pm Pacific Time on Valentine's day and select the winner. 
Oh bytheway, the hook is a 7mm, between a K and an L, so it's not likely you already have one, but it's one you really really need becaue there's such a gap between the K and L sizes.

Oh and if you're here for the auction, it's in the post below this one.

Thanks and Happy Valentine's Day!

xoxo
Jimbo

I've recently found your blog and work. I don't currently have any custom or handmade hooks. I found your blog through another that features the nice collection of another crochet enthusiast.

I've looked at several of your posts and your work is beautiful.

Deb said...

Love the Valentine hook Jimbo and would love to have the opportunity to own this beauty!

Jennifer said...

Absolutely gorgeous hooks!

Nicole said...

I'd love to win this Jimbo! You're awesome! :) I did actually know which one was the Valentine's hook due to the wood hint. I didn't even need the second hint. :P It's only because I have an obsession with wood hooks.

mireya said...

Both hooks are beautiful. Thank you for the contest. Happy (early)Valentines Day. ^_^

Skoggy said...

What an absolutely gorgeous hook!!! I'd love to be in the running for it.
Thank you Jimbo!

Sheltie Times said...

Beautiful hooks. Thanks for the Valentine's hint.

carmelvineyard said...

I love the heart ended hook! Recently I had to look all over for a 7mm hook, too, so I really appreciate that. :) Thank you for giving it away!

Jolena said...

I just love the way you make each one of your hooks unique. It would be so exciting to win one of your creations. Thanks for the chance to own a Jimbo Hook!

Mel said...

I want the chance to win, too! I've spent a good deal of time drooling over the Jimbo hooks, and your generosity makes my heart go pitter-pat! :) Happy Valentine's Day!! <3

Shanny said...

Very lovely. Happy valentine's day, Jimbo!

Mary said...

I have seen your posts since I joined crochetville a few months ago.
I love wood hooks. I have a few in smaller letters that belonged to my
Grandmother. I would love to be
included in your drawing.

Tanya said...

Lovely hooks, as usual! I'd love the chance to win :3

Sharon Marie said...

Beautiful work! I've admired your hooks for a long time now but since the economy is being fickle at our house, the luxuries, like your beautiful hooks have to wait for a while. I wouldn't mind winning one though ;)

Debra said...

Leaving my comment in hopes of winning that amazing Valentine's Day Hook to add to my collection of Jimbo Hooks! I love my Jimbo hooks. The wider girth and shapely curve of the hook go a long way to easing tired and arthritic fingers! They are so very comfortable to crochet with, you can stick with a project longer and with more enjoyment! Thanks, Jimbo! My email is fldebra at aol dot com, even though my comments wind up being generated with my gmail account. I never check that mail.

I would love to have a hook between a K and L. I find the L too large but since I have a tight tension, I sometimes want to have bigger stitches with my K hook. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway.

Found your "Front Porch" via the article about you in Crochet Accessories Magazine. Love your work! I tried to post a comment on the Valentine Giveaway, but for some reason it was having trouble with my LiveJournal ID. So here I am emailing you instead :)
Would love the chance to own the very unique hook you've created. I'm excited to see who wins it regardless! Hope you and your wife enjoy a lovely Valentines Day together!
Sincerely,
Paige
