Contest Winners

Because I am late with the podcast this time and I will be out of town from the middle of next week until the following midweek - I want to go ahead and announce the contest winners from Episode 11. The lovely random number generator picked:

Lisacam!!! She wins Spin It: Making Yarn from Scratch - Congrats!!!

The random number generator then chose Kathy! Kathy wins a skein of Trekking XXL in a pretty pink colorway (the same one I used to make my embossed leaves socks earlier this year and a pair of baby socks for my niece!!). I will put a pic up in the show notes or in this entry soon(ish).

If both of you can please contact me as I don't have email addresses for you and blogger won't let me click to contact you, I would appreciate it!!!

Fairieknits: Episode 11 - Finally she has a contest!!!

Lots to do, lots to see!

FOs:

Mariposa is done after 2 long years of not doing a damn thing with it because I hate to seam. Laziness, I know. In Lion Brand Microspun (which for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of during the podcast ... other than micro...I kept wanting to say microfiber. sorry about that!
