We have a Winner!!

It's getting harder and harder to find time to blog right now. Between all the time I spend on knitting, and my new found love of sewing, it's hard to find the time to take the pictures that are necessary to blog. But I managed to get on the ball and get together some pictures to share with you.

But, first things first! The winner of the blog contest is Donna. Congrats! Donna picked the lovely sheep fabric, and who can blame her? It's adorable!

Thank you all for playing along. Between all of you, we managed to raise $325 for The Make A Wish Foundation, and if you want to be technical, we raised more than that because there were people who didn't share the amount they donated. Thank you, thank you, thank you.


And now, for some knitting related rambling!

Some of you might remember months ago when I started The Charade Socks. I loved the pattern, but knitting on a size 0 made the sock entirely too small for me.

After seeing all the awesome ones in varigated yarns on Ravelry, I regrouped and came up with a new plan.

So I grabbed some Yarn Pirate I had marinating in the stash and gave it a second go. I love the finished socks!

They are by far my favorite pair yet to date. Although I seem to say that about every pair of socks I complete.

Speaking of Yarn Pirate, I was lucky enough to grab a spot in this round of her Booty Club. Actually, I was lucky enough to have Joe buy me a spot in her club. He's a keeper! He knows the way to my heart is with sock yarn. :)

And speaking of sock yarn, there has been some on going stash enhancement here. Thanks to Ravelry, I got my hands on two of the shipments from last round of the Yarn Pirate Booty Club!
