From the bottom of my heart.

I really don’t get that phrase.

So, Veronica and I did the drawing today. While I’m aware that some bloggers are uber-technical and can do random generated things on their computer, we’re into good old fashioned paper around here.

And the results are as follows-

1. Carol

2. Stephanie

3. Jen

4. Danielle

Congratulations! You may choose your prize in order of how you were drawn.

The options are-

-2 skeins of Koigu from my stash.

I can provide color descriptions and additional pictures if necessary.

– a beautiful collection of handmade soaps from Stephanie.

They are lavender, patchouli, a citrus patchouli, lemon (it’s fantastic), and the fifth has something in it making it an excellent wool wash. Plus, it smells really good. But I don’t remember what it is.

-a 4 oz skein of hand-dyed Blue Faced Leicester (pronounced Lester) yarn from Nada.

-a free pattern of your choice from Pamela.

Carol, you’re first.

Yesterday was busy. They wanted to do it all, and I wasn’t organized enough to protest, plus we were forced to stay indoors and anti-social because of poor Clark’s many illnesses.

So, Abby read a story.

Liv started to learn to spin

Veronica sewed placemats (I really need to blog about those. They’ve been ongoing for a few weeks, and are so cool!).

and Abby knit

And Abby tried spinning. And Liv knit, too. And I think they all sewed some placemats. And Clark was sick and grumpy. And the kitchen was a mess.

So I was running back and forth like a mad woman, trying to be everywhere and do everything and help everyone.

I’m not going to do that again. At least not all at the same time.

So Hayden came over last night and then I sat and knit on the Uptown Boot Socks for awhile. (Oh, and Hayden, I won). They’re nearly done, and I like them mucho. I think I’m going to pick out another suitable yarn and knit them again.
