Winners!

by Cheryl

Sorry it took me so long to get this up, but I had a *brilliant* idea of posting an OPML file so you can easily add the contest participants to your Bloglines or other RRS Feed reader (since we all have basically the same idea of what makes a good knit blog and probably all strive for those qualities I thought you might enjoy visiting each other). So 1022 clicks and 5 hours later (ok, not quite that many but A LOT and I have a headache now where is my wine?) I have the file for you (download here). If I left you out, you either didn’t have an RRS feed (there were a couple) didn’t have a blog (why not? at least go here and put up some of your stuff) or I just missed a click (please let me know if I left you out and I will add you). Of the entrants, there were a few I was already subscribed to but the vast majority were new to me! I’m excited to learn of some new blogs and look forward to visiting them more in depth over the next few weeks. Thanks again to everyone who participated. I wish I could give everyone something…oh wait! I sort of can! Check your email for a coupon to the Diva Knitting store.

Now for the list of random (love you Excel!) winners and their prizes: ”Grand Prize”of 10 skeins Noro Kureyon 95 goes to Teyani of Intrepid Fiber Wizard

Heather of the A.D.D. knitter is getting 10 skeins of Two.Two

I hope Debi of Fluffy Knitter Deb, TurtleGirl of Turtlegirl’s Blog Thingie and Eyeleen of Knitting by Eye all knit socks, because they are each getting a skein of Lana Grosssa sock yarn (meilenweit multiringel)

Cece of Fiberfish is getting two skiens of Artful Yarns Museum in “Amazone” and Chris of Stumbling over Chaos will recieve a skein of Artful Yarns Museum in “Zanzibar”.

Cookie of Shut Up and Knit gets to try a skein of Rio De La Plata Multicolor (one of my favs!)

Elizabeth of Trailing Yarn will receive 3 skeins of Valley Yarns Berkshire

Anne-Marie of The Chicks with Sticks is getting 7 skeins of Berroco Pronto in blue and Theresa of Knitting Underway gets 4.5 skeins of the same in coral

Stephane of Knit Steph gets two skeins of Classic Elite Bravo

Finally, Becky of Moonfrog gets four skeins of Jo Sharp DK Wool and Lime Dragon gets two skeins of Cascade 220 in 8886
