Yarn Pirate is having a baby. Let's have a contest!

Our dear friend Georgia will be having her baby soon. As of this post she is two weeks away from her due date. Her friends and fans are waiting anxiously for the delivery. As her good friend, let me tell you it's been hard for me to keep from badgering her daily. She's doing really well, keeping busy and getting ready, but at this point it's just a waiting game.

While we wait I thought it would be fun to have a little contest in her honor! Since she's going to have a natural childbirth, I thought we would have some natural prizes!
The winners will receive their choice of one of the following:


A skein of Cascade Eco Wool in natural dark brown - Shade 8087


or


A yard of Organic Cotton Gingham by Michael Miller



Now for the contest rules:


You will have two opportunities to win.

One guess per subject please.

Please do not e-mail Georgia for information. She needs her time now to rest and prepare. You may comb through her blog for information that may help you make your decision, but please give her a little space right now.

You are officially entered by responding to this post.


Winners names will be announced through a follow-up post on this blog.

Here we go!


1. Guess the actual due date and time! - person who comes the closest will win. In the event of a tie names will be drawn to determine the winner.

2. Guess the weight of the baby! - must guess in pounds and ounces. person who comes the closest will win. In the event of a tie, names will be drawn to determine the winner.

Good Luck!!

I think that Georgia will deliver on February 10th at 3:56 a.m. and the baby will weigh in at 8lbs 14 oz.

Congrats Georgia...too bad he couldn't weigh that 30 - 40 lbs. That instant weight loss would be wonderful, but ya' know...nursing will bring it off fairly quickly.
