Welcome to Week 4 of the Oombawka Design Blog Anniversary, Month of Giveaways!
I really want to say thank you to each of you who have visited and left comments and just been there with me over the past two years – and I would like to welcome all our newest Crocheters!
To me, Crocheting is more than just putting yarn to hook to create something useful and pretty. Crocheting allows me to embrace the present moment of time where all I am is wrapped up in the movement of my hook and my yarn and the stitches I am making. My troubles, sad memories and worries slide away and my focus narrows to each individual stitch, as I make it. I take deeper and longer breaths, my mind clears and I am finally existing in my present moment of time. It is in this moment that I find peace, clarity and perspective.
I hope each of you is able to find your own moments of peace, quiet and calm when you pick up your yarn and hook.
This week for your Crocheting Pleasure I have the following prize pack available… this prize pack has been donated by me 🙂

I love working with thread, would love to win this contest.
Wonderful giveaway! I would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
Clover hooks are so comfortable. I have the larger set for yarn. Would love to crochet with thread. My Mom used to make table runners, doilies, scarfs and other things. It always amazed me to see the finished product!
Fab giveaway. Love crocheting although quite new to it. Gets quite addictive.
You always offer such wonderful, inspiring projects, advice and prizes! Love it!
I love working with thread crochet but the steel hooks are hard on my hand anymore, and the bigger hooks just don’t work as you know for the finer threads. The hooks and thread are wonderful! I will have to look into the hooks you have in this giveaway! Thank you for all the wonderful tips, patterns and all you share! Glad I found your blog!
Very nice colors! I love to crochet with thread. I keep some crochet in a bag so I always have a take-along project. I only have regular steel hooks, some inherited, so these with the handles would be especially appreciated!
Such an awesome giveaway!! 🙂
Im wondering what you think would be good to help me teach my granddaughter a beginner? She’s a lovely girl but attempting new things fluster her and I want her to be excited and interested not stressed and worried. Maybe a particular book or tutorial? Thanks 🙂
wow. Those crochet hooks look awesome – and really comfortable.
I am not proficient with thread, but I am determined! Just keep chugging along trying to get my tension right!! LOL Great giveaway!!
Congratulations, Rhonnda!
Love your site – and am so grateful for all you do for all of us – who want to be just like you when we “grow up” as Hookers and can do the work that you do!
Thank you so much….and wishing you the absolute best in the future!
HELLO, I appreciate all you do on this blog! Thank You for sharing!
Your color choices are lovely, and who wouldn’t want to win a set of Clover crochet hooks?! I love getting your newsletter in my inbox and seeing what you’ve created and your picks from other sites. Thank you for sharing your talent!
I think that it is wonderful that you do this for your readers. I am just getting back into crocheting and fell in love all over again. I am spreading my love to my children. My oldest daughter, 32 years of age, is a beginner and has fell in love as much as I am. Thank you for sharing your gift with us all.
Love giveaways.
I love to crochet with thread! I need a ‘real’ set of steel crochet hooks, lol. Thank you so much for the chance to win :o)
Happy anniversary first of all and also i would love to have the chance to win the hooks. Love the yarn too. Have a good day.
I would love to win this set! I’ve been looking at snoods and hair net patterns online today.
I’ve been wrapped up with my daughter’s early labor so haven’t made it in every day.
FINALLY at 8pm last night my 3rd Grandson was born-YAY! This was 8 years of trying for this daughter to get #2, she’s done now :).
Another daughter has one of each.
Sorry- a little sidetracked!
This is a very lovely giveaway, one that I would actually use myself!
Thank you for your month of giveaways to celebrate with you Rhondda, I know we all appreciate your little “lottery” in addition to the wonderful FREE patterns you share!
So would love to win and add to my small stash, could use them in making grand baby stuff, since my family has added quite a few that I adore lately.
What a wonderful prize package! I really hope I win. I have been away from crochet for awhile, which is a pity, as my grandmother started teaching me at age 6 or 7 ( I am 67 now). The demands and heartbreaks of life have gotten in the way of my love for crochet. I need a catalyst to get it back, and your beautiful designs are providing some much needed inspiration. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the giveaway. Oh the things I could do with these hooks and thread! I’m ready to win!
Love this site.would love to win. Thank you
Thank you, for the chance to win this awesome prize pack.
Would love to win this, your site is awesome with gorgeous patterns and lots of tips and help and fantastic giveaways like this its fantastic hun xxx
I don’t know how to crochet or knit, but I promised I would start to lean this year. I’m very eager about it. 🙂
As a new crocheter I wanted to thank you for your weekly stitches, they are so amazing. this has opened a whole new world to me and I wanted to thank you.
Thank you for an opportunity to win this great set!
I am in love with the Clover Amour hooks. I haven’t tried the steel ones yet but I imagine that they are a dream to use. These kind of giveaways are so wonderful and you are amazing for doing them. Whoever wins is very lucky. 🙂
amazing give-away! love the colors of the yarn, and I’m dying to try the hooks!
It amazes me every time how a hook and thread/yarn can come together, be so calming and produce such a beautiful end result.
Thank you so much for the give-away!

I could make gorgeous bracelets with those nice coloured threads. Good luck to everyone.
Clover not delivers…hate auto correct
The steel delivers will complete my “set” of hooks. Love your patterns!
Beautiful color thread! Totally inspired!
I love my Amour hooks and would love to win a steel set and spend more time with thread.
I’ve been wanting to get into thread crochet and winning this pack would give me a jump start.
I am just starting to work with different types of threads and converting yarn patterns to thread. Would love to give this a try. Thanks for the giveaways!!
*hooks
I just came across these hook the other day on Amazon. I would love to win them! Thanks for the chance!
I saw those hooks today while shopping and I didn’t buy them because I know I am going to win them. Thanks for all the patterns and ideas you ve us.
I am very excited to try and win this!
Thanks for the chance to win. I love thread because I live in a Caribbean Island (Puerto Rico)
Yes! crochet! My hands still pick up crochet hook and yarn whenever it wants something to do. I knit too, but that takes a little more brainwork for me! lol
I would love to have new hooks in my collection and love to learn how to crochet with the above yarn I have never won anything like on in my life
I haven’t won anything in quite a while. I think it’s time. Thanks for the give away!
What a great give away and what a lovely things do you make. Sad i dont have a twitter account…(dunno how it works☺ bit i finished the rest of the steps) so good luck for all the other people
Greetings Jannie
Wow what a nice giveaway and you make beautiful things! I would love to win but i dont have an twitter account because i dont know how that works lol.Greetings Jannie
Congratulations on your Anniversary!
Crochet is my hobby, passion, sanity, and helps make me money. Through crocheting I have avoided many arguments with my in-laws because my mind is occupied counting stitches! I also keep my hair in my head instead of pulling it out over stressing about my kids since my hands are busy! Love crochet!
Congrats!!!!!!
Thanks Rhondda for being so generous!! Love your blog. Love peace and crochet Gabriela
You have expressed beautifully the calm that I feel when crocheting. I hadn’t crocheted in years, and when I was younger, I didn’t feel it. But when I picked it up again a few years ago, that calming effect was a wonderful surprise bonus. Thank you for putting it into words.
Love the colors and your site.
Great prizes
Love all your reviews. So much inspiration!
My great-grandmother would crochet insessently, and I have been known to do the same 😀
I have a whole stack of doilies that she crocheted – without patterns – and I have fun trying to recreate them!
haven’t done that in a while though, but now, I feel a wave of crocheting coming on!
I’d love to win the crochet hooks & thread! I’ve been using the aluminum hooks for several years, now, and have trouble with my hand and arm aching. I have some adorable bookmark patterns that would be great worked up in the thread!
I’ve always felt average, middle of the road with everything I do or try. Crocheting is the 2nd thing I’ve felt actually GOOD at. To work with my hands and my imagination to create something that people enjoy is a gift. I’ve also discovered that it helps me to focus, having my hands busy while listening to a lecture. Crochet is my meditation, my escape, and the best way to center and feel happy.
I love trying new hooks, yarns, threads, and new techniques. All of these products would be new to me, and I would be very excited to see what I could create with them.
Love the colors you chose. I haven’t crocheted with thread since I was a teenager (many, many, MANY years ago!). Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous thread and the Clover steel hooks (my favorite brand – have the set with the larger aluminum hooks and all the new bigger (K, L, M-N, O-P) plastic hooks but don’t have their steel hooks (yet, lol).
Your designs are beautiful! Ionly recently found your blog and am so glad I did. Thanks for all the effort & love you put into your crochet projects!
Love your patterns and giveaways.
I love to win this to try new items. Thanks!
Thank you for this awesome opportunity!
I love your sense of style, and I want to thank you for all of the free patterns. My favorite is probably one of your simplest patterns: My Favorite Bracelet.
Love the patterns you post,probrobly would never know to look for them if not. I have three kids so I need my crocheting
I love all your patterns and have made several of your cowls. Thank you for the awesome giveaways!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to comment on the lovely prize. The thread is just my cup of tea and I love the colors as well as being interested in the hooks.
Congrats! Would love to try the hooks, everyone says they are the best
Gorgeous thread colors. Would LOVE the hooks and thread. Great travel projects!
Thank you for having this give away, I have always wanted to try the Amour Crochet Hooks.
I started to crochet 4 years ago, when I suddenly found myself out of work, unable to walk and having to stay home every day after getting injured. So I taught myself how to crochet and have fallen in love with it. Crocheting is sooo relaxing, the time flies, before I know it, it is past bed time. I never thought I could do something like this, I am amazed at how peaceful it is even when I first started. Each day I have to set a time that I can pick up what ever I am working on because if I start it before I have the days chores done, They do not get done. You guys know what I mean right??
Hope you all have a wonderful day, and plenty of time to create your masterpiece.
Love your Free Pattern Friday updates. Love that there is archives easily accessible for me to peruse at my convenience. Love that it’s not just limited to patterns but that if I have crochet questions I can usually find what I need. Great blog. Love the give-a-way too!!!!!
Great and helpful blog! Amazing Giveway!!
I love crocheting, especially with Thread. I watched my Mom for years and then took over her books and hooks and carried on her tradition. I know crochet a lot for my grandchildren, and I love it as well as they do. Would give these hooks a good workout if win them!!!
I also love to lose myself in the motion of the crochet hook and thread. It’s calming and rewarding at the same time! I would love to win this prize and give thread another try. I did try it when I was new to crochet and it was just too small for me. However, I have found the more I crochet the more confidence I have with new stitches, yarns, etc. Love you patterns and posts. I am constantly pinning posts you have put out!
Would love to try those crochet hooks. I use thread often making doilies.
Wow, would love to win this month’s give away.
Thread crochet is my passion.
Oo-la-la!! Sure would love to win all this! I have this set of hooks in a Wish List. Would be great to be able to cross that off. 🙂
Oh what a wonderful giveaway!!! I love working with thread but over the years my MILs steelies have become too small in my hands….these Clover ones would totally solve that!!!
I too loose myself in my crochet. I very intentionally try to crochet in the evenings, right before bed, because it helps me to relax.
Love your blog and all the great things you share everyday! This is a wonderful giveaway 🙂
Great prizes! Thanks for the chance to win!
This giveaway is awesome! I love your blog and crochet patterns!
So sweet of you to do these giveaways. Love your patterns and your willingness to share your knowledge!
I <3 learning new crochet techniques, but have yet to get into thread and steel hooks. This would be perfect!
Thanks for the chance to win.
I just had to stop and enter this one with my love for crochet thread. BTW, the colors are beautiful and I can think of some lovely designs I’d be working on with these beauties!
I’m so happy I found your FB and all the beautiful pattern posts…. Thank you for that…. The give a way is a beautiful price…. I cross my fingers for it…. greets from the Netherlands
I agree that each time I pick up the hook and crochet it is my time to reflect on the creative side of me. It allows me to make something that, hopefully will bring a smile to someone’s face.
Thank you for your patterns and the lovely giveaway.
Thanks for all you do and your love of crocheting and sharing with us.
Would love to win.
Great reviews. It is good knowing a crochet pattern book has
clear and precise crochet instructions, before a purchase.
Thank you.
Would love to win these great prizes!
I LOVE those hooks….I need new hooks badly… I had to toss a bunch of my hooks due to rust from moisture damage 🙁
Can’t wait!
Crocheting is a fun way to pass time when I’m not doing anything else, while someone else drives, while watching tv, while waiting for an appointment, etc. So while I do it in very small time frames, a completed project appears so that is what excites me most, especially when learning a new stitch!
Great designs and love the easy to read patterns
This holds true for me as well, but it’s also about achievement and creating something that I find substantial. Happy hooking! Would love to win!
Love your site!
Fantastic giveaway! It’s always a treat to see what you have for us!
This is a beautiful package! It would be so nice to win! Good luck everyone!
Love to crochet with thread!
Thanks you so much for your kindness of a giveaway. I found your facebook page a while ago, and I must not have liked it for some reason then. I love your page and all the beautiful patterns you share.
Love the vintagey colors.. thanks for the giveaway and all your inspirational posts!
Awesome Giveaway!! My daughter is learning to crochet; perfect set of hooks to get started. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for the opportunity this is an awesome prize package….
Awesome! My daughter is pregnant for twins! 1 B, 1 G. She’s asked me to teach her how to crochet and it would be so nice to give her this set as a gift. She’s on limited activity, (no work, lifting, standing to long etc) so these would help to keep her busy and maybe a bit of relief from the “stir crazies”
Thanks for the giveaway. Great items to expand my crochet stash. Will also help with the filet crochet that I wish to learn.
Wow what a fabulous giveaway! Clover Amour Hooks are my favourite & I’ve been longing to try KnitPicks yarn 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity!
