So, in celebration of Malabrigo March and my starting of a new job next week, I will kick off my first blog contest with a comments contest!Dusty offered to model for the shoot.
Here's his action shot. I'm not sure if he looks big of if the Malabrigo looks small.
Prize: One Hank Malabrigo Worsted in VermillionHow to enter: Just leave a comment on this post!
Extra entries for the over achievers (not unlike me): Post it on your blog and you get an extra entry. (Make sure to let me know in my comments) Someone says you sent them in their entry, you both get an extra entry.
Even more entries for the Malabrigo obsessed AND over achievers (Definitely not unlike me): Member of Malabrigo Junkies on Ravelry? Just mention that your a member and what your knitting for Malabrigo March. Maybe we can drum up some inspiration for others that way!
Here's his parting shot. He thought the yarn looked lovely with his fluffy gray coat.
I decided not to tell him that was why I let him take the shoot in the first place.

Hooray for Malabrigo March! The 28th is my birthday too...fingers crossed! ;)
(Oh, and fantastic contest idea, found you through rav!)
Found your contest on Ravelry, I am not in Malabrigo madness though.
I posted on my blog as well.
Dusty is adorable! Good luck with the new job! Hopefully it won't cut into knitting time too much!
I can be contacted at Ravelry. JackieCastsOn
I have enjoyed reading your blog and will check back in!
Believe it or not I haven't had the chance to knit Malabrigo yet... dying to! Thanks for the contest, I'm crossing my fingers. I love red!
Needlegrrl on the Rav
Dusty is quite handsome and the Malabrigo is...well, you just can't say enough about Malabrigo.
Congratulations on the new job!
The Mmmmmmalabrigo is so so pretty. :)
That looks lovely though I have never used malabrigo. And your cat is so cute.
Hey there! I love that color.
The Malabrigo is beautiful. Kitty cute too!
Hey--you got a job! Congratulations! I'm interested in hearing what it is if you get a chance to drop me a line. Congrats again!
I'm starting a new job next week, too! I'm on Rav (thdx3) but not doing Malabrigo March...would use that lovely vermillion hank for a Tudora but it's a bit down the list on my queue to commit to calendar. Thanks for the contest!
Beautiful colour. Happy Malabrigo March... I wish I could get that yarn somewhere here :-)
But congrats also on your new job!
Oh that is a beautious color!!! LOVE it... and I'd love to enter your contest!
I have fondled some Malabrigo once or twice in a yarn shop, but I have yet to knit with it. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to hope that the day it will finally happen may be coming soon!
Oooooooo...Malabrigo....Clearly I want in on this...I'll let you know when I post this on my blog
Would love the chance to use this yarn. Never tried it before. Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for the contest -- I didn't know that it was Malabrigo March! I'll go rummage through my stash to cast on my Malabrigo laceweight.
hey alicia! how are you? hope all is well. i just moved and got a new job too!
yay for contests! that color is stunning! i'll have to mention this contest in my next blog.

Hey, I've posted about your contest on my blog. :)
Though I must confess I've never knit with Malabrigo. I don't have much of a LYS in my town, and it's not one of the yarns that they carry. I'm sure it must be scrumptious though!
beautiful color! thanks so much for offering the contest!
Lovely contest. Congrats on the new job. I'm a member of Malabrigo junkies too!!
Hi! I'm a fellow Junkie. I made a Calorimetry in stonechat and I'm working on the Urchin hat in bulky orange.
Gotta love Malabrigo!
Hi! Love the kitty! I frequently have help with my knitting from 2 of my kitties. I have mentioned this contest on my blog KnitHappens. I am also a member of Malabrigo March and am knitting Koolhaas with my very yummy Verde esperanza Malabrigo. Thanks for the contest!
Pretty color! I'm crossing my fingers. :)
How generous of you - and what a beautiful color!
teabird / Ravelry
pretty kitty! I have never had my hands on any of this malabrigo yarn i hear so much about! I first read about it in the amanda hat blog and so want to knit one of these hats as well! Enjoy your new job! I linked through Witknit and am linking to you as well.
That yarn is so pretty! I'm on the malabrigo junkies group on ravelry and I made a shrug in the beginning of March out of Malabrigo Chunky in Indigo. It is really pretty, I love malabrigo!
I came here from Kris's Needle in the eye and I'll post it on my blog too!!
what a awsome prize!
Meep meep. Despite having been a knitter for 4 years, I've still never worked with Malabrigo. Then again, before last week, I'd also never worked with Lorna's Laces, so I suppose it'll have to happen eventually.
-cthulhulovesme over on Ravelry, though not a member of Malabrigo Junkies for obvious reasons.
Great contest! I LOVE malabrigo. I am a member of the malabrigo junkies, but I'm not participating in the knitting for malabrigo march sadly.
Cheers,
Bea
I came here via http://purpleisafruit.blogspot.com/ and I'm going to post it on my blog. I've never tried malibrigo before but I hear it's amazing.
i'm a pretty new member of malabrigo junkies. I ordered my first skein of malabrigo for march madness (i made a koolhaas hat and a toy octopus. my username's leftofthedial) and i'm hooked. it's so soft!
Yay! More Malabrigo.
I am part of the Malabrigo Junkies group on Ravelry. I am very close to finished with the Capitan cap. I really wish I could have gotten more knit this month. the madness will continue into April for me. :)
I will post on my blog here.
Oops forgot to mention that the Happy college knitter sent me. :)
I found your contest through Dandy.
The yarn looks scrumptious.
Good luck on the contest and hope your new job isn't to stressful.
Oh, please enter me! I'd love to try Malebrigo, as I've yet to even see a skein of it! And I've heard such wonderful things about the yarn!
Have a great day!
yay! contest! cute kitty, too :)
Found you through Mariknits.
Go Malibrigo!!!
I found you through Needle in the Eye, and wanted to enter the conteset. Love your kitty, by the way! :)
Thanks for the contest! I've never knitted with Malabrigo before so it would be wonderful to win.
wow, look at all the comments! guess there are too many malabrigo lovers out here.
Found out about your contest from K. Anne at roaving.blogspot.com. I don't know if Dusty's going to want to give up that skein, he looks very content to lay between them.
yeah! a new job!!
Ariel sent me over, and I'd love a chance at RED Malabrigo (yummy!)
Stop at my place? I'm having a contest, too!
(((hugs)))
I first purchased some Malabrigo over a year ago and I have yet to actually knit any of it. Terrible, I know! =)
Wow! Beautiful color!
I am a bit Malabrigo obsessed as well... will definately have to go sign up for that Ravelry group now... consider me recruited!
Yay a malabrigo contest. I was sent by Mariknits blog.
The best way to reach me if I happen to win is on ravelry. My ravelry screename is knittingpanda87 .
I posted a comment before and got the then realized that I put the wrong name of who sent me on your comment list the blog Mariknits is just under Mari.
I've been reading your blog since my lovely swap package arrived. All of the stitch markers you've been receiving are gorgeous. Good luck with your contest - looks like fun!
That is gorgeous yarn! I'm in a red phase right now...mmm...
I never heard of Malabrigo madness but I found out about your contest on Ravelry.
I alos linked your contest on my blog too.

I also found you from Ravelry, but not the Malabrigo group. What a great contest thanks!

I came here from Chan's blog. I've actually never knit with Malabrigo. I need to knit down some of my stash before I spend more money.
Hi, I came via Chan of KnitTea. I am not a member of the Malabrigo Junkies on Ravelry (GMarie) but I am currently working on a grey (I never know which is right, grey or gray? - anyway) lace wrap from the laceweight malabrigo and I love it!!
Happy Spring to you :) g

I'm also a member of Malabrigo Junkies on Ravelry and am knitting Talia from Knitty in Velvet Grapes as my Malabrigo March contribution. You know - besides a couple of hats!
Goodness, I posted about your contest on my blog but looks like I forgot to enter! I came via Chan.

cheers, A.
Happy Easter! Jane
Lets hear it for Malabrigo March!
I've never tried Malabrigo....
What a sweet kitty! I'm visting from Amanda's blog, and would love to enter the contest. I'm only a wannabe Malabrigo junkie, and therefore am not eligible for the Ravelry group. :) Blog link to come.
I came over from Robin's blog - what a great idea for a contest :)
Good luck in your new job.
I saw your contest on Ariel's blog (Ariel's Knitting.) I am also a member of Ravelry's Malabrigo Madness -- my ID is Becky and my blog is moonfrog.com. I will post the contest there later today.
I am planning to make the Amanda hat, too, and I need to get on it!
Thanks for the contest!
What fun, a contest! Love Malabrigo :) I'll be sure to mention it in my next blog post.
Thanks for having the contest. I would love to knit with Malabrigo. I have heard it is wonderful and soft. sadly my lys does not have it.
I saw this posted on Amanda's blog. I will post about it later tonight on mine. Fun, fun, fun.
Love this yarn. The softness can't be beat!! Knitting a Tudora from knitty. Thanks for the contest!!! Wendy
Great March Malabrigo Contest! I heard about your contest through Wendy at http://knuckleheadmusings.blogspot.com/ Thank you Wendy!

Awesome contest! I posted on my blog and I'm came here from KSee Kreations blog. The yarn looks scrumptious!

Love this contest! I posted it on my blog and I found out about it through KSee Kreation's blog.
Hello my name is Josee and I'm an overachiever!
i just came over from the knitting med school student... dusty isn't looking too thrilled with his modelling gig, although he is clearly more even tempered than my own little tiger. lie next to yarn? NEVER!!! MUST PLAY!!!
YaY! Congrats on the New Job!
Nice little celebration you have here with this contest.
Hope your new job works out well for you
I'm a member at Malabrigo Junkie now!

I am a Malabrigo junkie, but I haven't any in the stash, and I am in serious stash reduction mode and I am not allowed to buy more, so no Malabrigo project for Malabrigo March. However, if I won some, I doubt that would count! :)
I posted another comment about a week ago but I forgot to mention that I posted about your contest on my blog.
Hey Alicia,
I posted about your contest on my blog.
Dusty is adorable :)
Your cat looks so enthused about that yarn. My cat would be jumping on it.
marching to the beat of malbrigio.
:-)
Found you through the Coffee Swap blog (though they hadn't posted about your contest:o)). I normally don't enter contests on blogs I haven't been reading, but, well, I've never used Malabrigo (I know! A knitting sin for sure!) so I thought what the heck. I'll post about it on my blog too.
Found you on Aunt Kathy's blog. Awesome contest....who doesn't love Malabrigo.
Hugs!
I came in because I read about your contest on Mrsfife on wordpress
what a wonderful generous offer!..I have never knit or used Malabrigo..but the gesture you are making is just wonderful.
It's a gorgeous colour!
And I heard about this contest on kniteurope's blog.
