TV Yarn Contest Came

Woo-Hoo how excited I was on Monday getting the mail (I'm alittle behind my posts)....my contest winning from Jana came and I did the "Happy Dance"!! Its gorgeous in person and oh so soft.. I absolutely love the colors in it!!
Thank You Jana!!!

This is the post that I had found out I was one of her winners.. I took a close up picture because while taking the first picture I noticed something I didn't see before...guess in all my excitement I missed it!! There is a pretty little stitch marker tied to the wrapper. So pretty and just the right size for doing socks...yes, theres that "S" word again..lol, but I am going to do a pair! Sure would be neat if I could get them done in time for when we start putting up the actual "Polar Express" around the livingroom, (though I doubt it, as I'm new and a slow knitter) But I'm a dreamer!! (and have a crochet "S" book) ;-)
I'm also excited cause this yarn is hand-dyed..I haven't worked a project yet with hand-dyed yarns. I'm so looking forward in doing so.

Thank you again Jana for having the contest! I LOVE it!!

Congrats again Mary! That yarn is quite pretty!

Its funny that you want to do socks but haven't yet, my last dishcloth swap pal was the same (Cass) and she just finished her first pair. Maybe I should send you some patterns to "inspire" you!
