Winners
So if we can get a drum roll please, I am delighted to announce the winners of the third blogiversary yarn drawings from All Fingers and Thumbs.
For the the Piccolo iiiiiiitttttttssssssss.... Lori, for the Manos our hedgehog loving friend... Kelly and last but not least for the Plaid... Fiona. If the the three lucky ladies could be in touch with addresses by email or PM to Thumbelina on Ravelry I'll get this yarn in the mail; Fiona: Blogger didn't capture any of your details so I hope you see this here :o)
Thank you to everyone who joined in and for all the compliments you left me for my blogging, enough to keep me going for at least enough another three years I think!
Here are some winners of another kind, a pair of lovely socks, a finished object I do believe. Something not seen in these parts for quite some time! These are the Socktober Mystery socks finished just in time for the prize draw - quite an incentive to focus! I'd done well at keeping up with the clues until holiday intervened, but it's still a fun way to knit a sock for a change.
Pattern: Mystery Sock 09 - Kirsten Kapur
Yarn: Something lovely but unidentified from Ebay - dagnammit!
Needles: 2.75mm DPNs
Started: 1 October 2009
Finished: 29 November 2009
I particularly love the flow of the pattern - the transitions into the heel flap and onto the top of the foot - very clever indeed.
The yarn is gorgeous, pure wool I think. Flat but plump if that makes any sense? It's not twisty like the tightly spun merinos like Shibui or Socks that Rock but has a lovely denseness to it. Answers on a postcard if anyone recognises it! I had a scary moment with the second sock as I ran out of yarn mid way through the toe, it's slightly shorter and blunter than it's friend now!
As well as a belated Socktober sock these are my first contribution to the Southern Summer of Socks - so happy socky season to everyone knitting along with that.

Those socks are beautiful and the yarn really seems to make them all the more special.
