Happy Loopy Friday to you! It’s cold here this morning – 5 degrees right now. Although next weekend looks like it will be colder. We get some of our very coldest temperatures in December around here. Good thing we all have plenty of handknits and quilts to wrap up in!
We often get emails from customers who have received their order from Loopy, telling us that it was just the pick-me-up they needed during a tough/long/sad/frustrating/busy week. We love knowing that the mail brought you a Box of Fun from us that made you smile! And that gave us an idea for some Random Acts of Kindness that we could do this month.
Do you know of someone who could really use a spot of cheer this month, but might not be able to afford a Box of Fun from Loopy on his/her own? Or someone who does so much for other people, and really deserves a special something coming their way? We would like to send out a few Boxes of Fun full of Loopy Love to people like that this month.
Your part – we need your help in identifying someone who might deserve and love something like this. You can nominate someone by emailing us (support@theloopyewe.com) and telling us why you think they would be a good person to get a Box of Fun. We’ll then pick a few and will email you for the shipping details if we pick your nomination. We’ll send the box with a note that someone thought they deserved a box of Loopy Love. We’ll let you decide if you want to tell them it was you, or keep it anonymous.
Our part – we’re covering the cost of the boxes and contents. It won’t cost you a penny.
Please limit your nomination to one or two people. We know there are a LOT of very deserving people out there, but we need to be able to get through all of the emails you send! 🙂 Nominations close a week from today – on Friday the 16th.
THANK YOU for helping us with our RAK this year! We’d also like to share a box of Loopy Love with one of you for our December blog contest. Leave a comment on this post to be entered. You can tell us how cold (or warm) it is in your town today, or tell us of a RAK you did this week, or tell us what you are knitting or quilting right now, or tell us your favorite holiday treat! We’ll use the randomizer to pick a winner next week and will send you a box of something fun, too!

It is about 40 here, and pouring rain. I am working on a sweater for my husband.
Its a lovely 11 degrees here with snow flurries that are supposed to change to measurable snow by evening. Not ready for winter to really be here, but its not like we really have a choice in this!
It was 22 at my home this morning. No snow yet but I think it is in the forecast for next weekend. I made my husband a Montgolfier Hat (note to self: add to Ravelry) so his head doesn’t get cold when he leaves work in the wee hours of the morning. I am currently working on Autumn Leaves by Jared Flood for either my neighbor or myself. I made my neighbor a shawl last year too. I am hoping to get pregnant so I hope that is my holiday treat this year.
It is 32 degrees here at my home in Vancouver WA. Right now nothing is coming down out of the sky but it has been raining on and off all day so pretty slick outside! I am currently knitting on a pair of socks and two crescent shawls.
70 degrees and sunny here today; cleaning the kitchen and making soap later. Then if I get it all done, some knitting!
I’m knitting my last Christmas gift which is a hat for my sister. It’s cold here and she was commenting today on my hat and how she wants one like it (which I’m Laing her the same one)
No snow here in the mid-Atlantic area, but it is sure getting cold!
It’s 12 in Anchorage, and one of the warmest days this week. Winter just got serious.
It is 28 degrees here in Maryland, and I am knitting a cowl. The floor is cold, and my feet are suffering. Maybe I should switch things up and knit some slippers instead…
The temperature is in the 20s here in Buffalo. I spent the day making two sets of little bags for gifts. Now I’m knitting wee elves. Thanks Loopy Ewe for your wonderful RAK program.
What a lovely idea! I hope that you all have happy holidays and a good and healthy 2017!
It’s below freezing here now, finally. I’m loving the cold, not so much the dry. That gets me every year.
500 mile road trip today. With a cat. 20 degrees at point of departure, 45 degrees at destination. Highest temp en route was low 60s. Knitting a ‘brushed suri loop scarf’ (cowl). Favorite holiday treats- peppermint bark & red chile chocolate. RAK- waited and held the recycling bin lid open for the neighbor kid who was hauling a full load of stuff.
It’s just starting to get cold here. Later in the week it’s supposed to rain, but not be cold enough for snow. That’s OK! At the moment I’m working on the Peace Project cowl from Ravelry.
It is just starting to get cold here and I am knitting a Poetry in Motion sweater that hopefully i will be able to finish and wear this winter.
Temps hit mid-50s today and melted the snow off the driveway! Knitting Charlotte’s Web shawl – not likely to finish before Christmas though.
It’s 28 degrees and snowing here. I’m working on my Christmas knitting, a pair of socks for my cousin in Wollmeise Pure in Poison Nr. 5. I drew his name for Secret Santa this year, and stash yarn doesn’t count toward the limit, plus it’s one of the few yarns that lets me get a pair of men’s socks knit without having to beg, borrow, or steal extra yardage.
This week the temperature has been all over the place here in Louisiana. For the past few days it’s been in the 20’s and 30’s in the mornings and this week we may get back up to 70. Wish we could get and keep some winter weather.
Cold and snowy here in Illinois. Expected snowfall 6-8 inches! Not ready for winter we had such a mild fall. Working on a pair of socks and a shawl. Not sure if this qualifies for a rak, went to the grocery store saw the red kettle and put all my spare change in the bucket.
Winter has really come to Durham, with temperatures in the 40’s. I am quilting up a storm, using fabrics from my stash. It’s such fun to try to figure out combinations and then checking to see if I have enough yardage. Rowie
I live above red feather lakes Co and today it is 25 deg and we woke up to a beautiful foot of new snow! Today will be a play day on the snow with my dogs who love it as much as I do! I’m busy knitting for Christmas, some booties, a shawl, and lots of neck warmers!
Lots of snow here in west MI today! A great day to snuggle up with the socks that I’m working on finishing for my mom for Christmas. Also trying my hand at sewing – making earbud pouches as gifts for friends, family and my girls’ teachers.
Right now it’s 63 degrees and very overcast. I’m working on the second sock, the first was done a while back 😉 Happy Holidays to all at the Loopy Ewe
supposed to be 72 here today in north TX after some cold freezing weather. finally seeing the sun! just finished a shawl for granddaughter that was wayyyy beyond my skill level….it’s being blocked now and am anxious to see it off the blocking mats.
I am knitting the Project Peace cowl out of Manos Del Uruguay Fino in Delft. Everyday the design has a new tip for how to be “peaceful” that day. She is doing this each day for 21 days. She started December 1st. It’s never too late to start!
Has warmed up here from -6 to 18. Feels lots better. Still great knitting weather. I started Endless Wrap for sis-in-law and it is endless. Should have made mittens.
We had baby’s first snow this week. And then it all melted two days later! I wish I got out of the house enough to do a RAK but there’s a local family doing a different one each day for 30 days which is fun to watch.
It was 40 degrees outside yesterday at this time and 72 degrees outside today. Welcome to Texas!
It’s cold & snowy & cold here in Chicago… will be down to single digit high temps this week! I’ll be snuggled up knitting some baa-ble mittens for friends & family 🙂
Thank you for being the kind of people who reward RAK!
It is mid 30’s here but very bleak…happy to be home knitting in front of the fireplace!
What a great contest! It’s about 40 degrees here, but at least it was sunny today!
My daughter’s class adopted a little girl to give presents to this year. I was knitting a Bakery Bears family for my Junior year of Loopy Academy. My daughter and I decided to give the little girl bear to the girl that her class adopted.
At the moment it’s 28F and snowing a bit here in Bloomsbury, NJ. I’ve been waiting for some snow, so I am super excited! Thanks for the contest!
This evening, it was snowing and 30 degrees not so bad. I am knitting socks for my husband, a Baby Surprise sweater for my grand daughter (5 months old), socks for my son, daughter and daughter-in-law. I have so much knitting to do, I don’t know what to do!
This October, I sewed 350 teddy bears, and 15 Pillow cases and a couple of rag quilts. My grand total of teddy bears made and distributed since 2003 is now 10,000. But, back to my first love, Knitting!
It’s been cold and windy here in TN. Favorite holiday treat is for sure Peppermint hot cocoa.
It’s been pretty cold here in Oregon, we had some ice and snow last week which is very unusual for us here in the valley. And they’re predicting snow for later this week. Brrrr! Better knit up something warm and woolly quick…
It’s chilly, damp, and rainy on Cape Cod, which it often is during the winter. I have lots of wool to keep me warm. I just finished my Christmas knitting (shawl, cowl, two pairs of socks, and leg warmers — very in this year I am told). I am about to knit myself a sweater.
You guys are the best! So glad I found you. It’s such a lovely idea to send a box of Loopy Love to someone who needs a pick-me-up.
It is very cold in our neck of the woods…-20 for this coming weekend! I am currently knitting socks in an effort to finish my Christmas knitting!
I am knitting my Loopy Academy projects and hoping I can knit quickly enough to finish them by the deadline!
It is 40 right now. We are in between ice storms.we don’t get much snow, mostly freezing rain so the roads become ice. I had to give one gift early because the person was too cold without a hat.
It’s beautiful today where I am. I’m knitting on a pair of socks and picot binding off a scowl.
Cold over the weekend, at least by Florida standards but today is warmer and gorgeous skies. Blessings to the whole Loopy family for a lovely Christmas.
It’s a gorgeous sunset here in Lancaster County, PA after a day of fog and rain. About 40 degrees which is to be the high for the week!
Working on my made up first quilt that I visited your store last week to purchase fabrics for. Got pretties for grass and sky. I hope it turns out nice for my grandson to put his little animals in the pockets I’m making. I’m so glad you’re in my town, Loopy Ewe!
It’s in the 20’s today, but I had the oven going baking sugar cookies! Tonight I’ll sit and knit my lace scarf with Rowan Kidsilk Glamour.
It’s 25 degrees here and our RAK this week we provided the local animal shelter enough food for every animal’s “Christmas Dinner,” and a toy for every animal. Maybe not a random act, but a kind one. I’m working on a sweater for my daughter 🙂
It’s 18 here in Wisconsin, but feels like 7. Unfortunately it’s going to get a lot colder than that in the next few days. I just finished a headband, and now I’m working on socks. I need to keep my friends warm! 🙂
It is cold here. Minus 30 and windy! Thank goodness for yarn!
i have a close knitting friend who has helped me get through a really difficult year. Recently we were sharing new found patterns and she loved the new sock pattern I discovered. When she got home from our knit nite, the pattern was in her ravelry library. She was thrilled and I was able to give a little back to a dear friend.
