WIPs of the Week and Contest Winners!
Orange creates in sanity? That explains it. (See yesterday's comments for an explanation.) And Neena...I'm keeping this one for me. You must continue to pay your dues for stealing Charlotte.
OK, on to the contest. Lot's of suggestions came in including golf club covers, eye pillows, sachets, lumbar supports, bags and cat toys. A few of the unique suggestions were a camera case, pot holder, door stop, sweater for a small dog, sock holder for travel, soap sock, a small Christmas stocking and (my favorite) 'frame it and call it art'. Claudia said I should pass it on to someone who wants it (anyone?) and Angela wants to give me her suck so I have a mismatched pair. No thank you!
My favorite entry came from Johanna and she also got to choose from the prizes. Her choice is the Twinkletoes Denim.
"I think that you should fill it with quarters and use it to hold up the local convenience store. (Don't forget to steal the scratch tickets in addition to the drawer money. It could really pay off!)"
That entry made me laugh out loud! Thanks to everyone who entered. The winner of the Knit Picks Simple Stripe was picked by a random number generator and it's Sara of Knitwerk. Enjoy your yarn and the resulting socks!
I have been knitting a little this week and I'll take a page from Susan (still under the weather, poor grrl) to show you the WIPs of the week. I'm closing in on a Conwy Sock from Knitting on the Road, the Chickami, which is the perfect thing to work on while visiting with buddies at SnB, and the (newly named) Bryce Canyon Scarf (yarn color says that's the right name) is great knitting because watching the colors and pattern change is very entertaining.
On the spinning front...I'm a klutz and will head to Anne’s for a remedial spinning lesson on Sunday. Enjoy your Easter!!
It's nice to see Johanna covered all the opportunities with scratch cards. You have a great weekend to.

Oooh yeah, I'm glad that I could make you laugh, and now hopefully some other people too. Have a great weekend and stay out of trouble with the law! I can't wait to get that twinkletoes yarn. I'll figure out something fabulous to do with it and keep you (and the rest of blogland) informed of course! Thanks again!

Have fun with Anne! Maybe you should have your DH drive you so you can "prep yourself" with a few martinis! :)

Oh, you're going to Anne's! Can I come, too???? Pretty please.

Have a great spinning lesson. You'll get it in no time!

If you don't want your suck, I'll take it! I'll make it into a stuffed animal, and love it and pet it and call it George. ;)

Yay! More socks! This pair's gonna be for *me*. Thanks, Margene!

You still owe me a top-of-mountain picture. Just sayin'.
