Winners June 25, 2007
I am back from vacation. More on that later. Today’s order of business is announcing the contest winners! I printed out everyone’s name and did a very random drawing
There were so many entrants that I decided to also draw a second prize winner.
The GRAND PRIZE WINNER is ….
Julia!! Her comment was even about carders. Perfect!
And the lucky second place winner is
Debbi! I was thinking Debbi might enjoy a skein of handspun
Color totally misrepresented in this photo. It is shades of red, pink and white.
(Here’s the proof of the winners. I went a little overboard with the cameraphone.)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s comments (sorry if I didn’t reply to all of them!). Some tools that I love to use that were mentioned were post-it notes and sheet protectors. And the dental floss suggestion… cassandra is genius! It seems like many knitters would be a total loss without their swifts and ball winders. Speaking of ball winders…. look what I found at Value Village:
That’s right baby. $2.50. Hells yeah I bought it! It is a Toyota. As much as I love thrift stores, I thought finds like this were just a myth (along with finding Le Creuset at goodwill). But now, I am living the dream. Colleen is right - Thrift stores are an awesome resource for knitters and crafters alike.
Thanks for all of the helpful carder info. I have been pretty lucky with the Kitchener stitch markers over at the Loopy Ewe (currently sold out!), so I might have one before you know it. I wonder what Sheri would think if I named it Loopy?
Congrats to the winners! Dang, what an awesome find… And welcome back.
I am so jealous of your thrift store find!! I have been winding my ass off lately, sans winder or swift! I keep thinking, “This is time I could be KNITTING!”
Congrats to the winners. I’m totally impressed with your find - what a deal!!
great find!
how funny–i just looked at your etsy store–i totally have a fraggle rock series in my head for when my first shipment of wholesale yarn blanks come.
Now THAT’S a find. Everyone I know seems to get nuggets like that. I never seem to. Sigh….
where is value village? or is the name of the actual store something different?
welcome back! same to myself as well, although i didn’t get to go to awesome places like alaska to shoot at styrofoam deer…that must have tasted good! :o)haha! we must meet up soon and make some buttons and other knitting related goodness! :o)
Value Village is a chain of Thrift stores in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. They are my favorite type fo thrift store
