and the winner is...

Last week I put a hand knit blanket up for adoption. Twenty-five people ended up asking to be in the drawing, so apparently I misunderestimated the appeal of the offer. I decided it would be appropriate to draw the winning name from a hand knit hat:


And the winner is...


Paul Skoglund! Paul is someone I've known since dinosaurs walked the earth, which was when I was in high school. Just ask Sarah Palin if you think I'm making this up.

Knitted goods lotteries may become a regular feature here, because lord knows I make more than I can use. I end up employing the stuff as home decor, for chrissake:


(Wow, that monitor looks so wee and quaint now that it's been replaced by an iMac bigger than Godzilla's head). Anyway, so stay tuned if you're into scarves or whatever. In other crafty news, I made a cute dress yesterday.





This one's not up for adoption; I've got four or five little cuties in my social circle who are wearing this size nowadays, so they have dibs.
