It is great to get to visit everyone’s webpages!

I used a random number generator to come up with two winners for the Fake Rhinebeck Contest.

The firstwinner is knitnana
Some sock yarn that I dyed and a set of kitchener stitch markers will be headed her way.

And since i was feeling generous, I drew a second winner who turned out to be laura
To her, I will send a skein of sock yarn from the day I attempted solar dyeing. Here’s a secret… i was actually trying to make it match my blog colors, but it doesn’t. Even though it is nice yarn, it’s not the color I wanted.

Hoep everyone had fun!

Now i will have a way to look up links and random crap that i found that i like. It will probably clutter up the ol’ blog, but hey, it’s my blog. and hopefully you will find some of the stuff interesting. And to make it a little exciting, I will do a countdown of three things I like.

#3 Free pattern that I have been waiting for

I Dream of Africa Socks from Chickswithsticks is just the perfect pattern for busily patterned sock yarn. She has been taunting us by flaunting her socks all over blog, and now, finally, we can make them at last.

#2 Super-cute free pattern

I just discovered Warm fuzzies… She has a really cute blog, and the thing that caught my eye – a super-cute free pattern. As an embellishment to go with her crocheted mushroom (from crochetme) she designed a tiny little
hedgehog. Both of these look like fun projects for giving amigurumi a try.

#1 Etsy shopping
From the hallowed virtual halls of etsy I bought a fantastic “keychain cardholder” from Quiet Doing.

She has them seriously underpriced, so shop while the getting is good!

their own weblogs!
First up is Carmen, a new and avid knitter, and a friend for
a long time. She is also my neighbor, and fellow grad student. Next are Gen and Chandra who have teamed up as the Knitting Nerds. I am really happy
that they started a blog together because both had individual blogs that fizzled
away and I miss them!

So go visit these guys and leave them comments so they feel loved :)

Oh yeah one more really important thing – Webs is having a sale on Noro Kureyon!! I can’t afford so go buy enough for a sweater so i can live vicariously through you. Hurry – It’s going fast!!
