And the Winner IS......

I am sitting here with slips of paper that have the names of the entrants to my contest. And I am about to choose one of the pieces of paper and announce the name of the winner of the Elann Esprit yarn. Good luck, ladies!

Drum roll please.....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrump!

And the winner is....

NAIDA!!!

I am sure you all join me in congratulating Naida on winning the contest! And I want to thank ALL the entrants for participating.

Naida, I will contact you by e-mail to get your mailing address so I can send your prize out to you. :)

Although the contest is ended, I will have another one next year. And I want to ask anyone who is interested to make more swatches of your favorite stitches, take a pic and send it to my e-mail address identifying what stitch it is. I want to start an online stitch collection that will be available to anyone who comes to my blog and accesses the page link. I will put the link to the left and it will permanently remain there.

Oh...btw....you may notice at the bottom of my posts there are REACTIONS. Even if a visitor to my blog doesnt want to write a post, they can still check off one of the selections. I hope more people will utilize this....its totally anonymous and, I think, fun :)

I hope everyone's holiday crocheting is going well. I have finished a poncho for my SIL and am just about finished the last of my charity pieces.....a hat and scarf set for a little girl. If I dont get back before Thursday, I wish everyone of you here in the U.S. a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And if you are traveling, take care and come back safely!

Crochet, Away!
