Showcase #2
Hello everybody! Welcome to today's show. Hope you're having a good day. Staying warm, or cool, depending where you are. Smile on your face. Spring in your step.
Johnny, why don't you tell the people what they're playing for!
Sounds good Bob. Heeeeeeereeeee's SHOWCASE #2:
WOW Johnny! That's a lot of swag - why don't you break it down for the people.
Sure thing, Bob.
First up, you've got
THREE SKEINS OF MANOS DEL URUGUAY
#114 - BRAMBLE
That's more than 400yds of luscious wool goodness. You've got enough there to make a pair of mittens and the lovely My So-Called Scarf. (At least that's what I'm doing with my own three skeins.)
Next we have some wonderful Snowflake Bath Confetti in a vanilla bean and some Pine Tree Bath Confetti in a refreshing berry pine scent. Bob, throw some flakes in a warm bath, lay back with a nice hot toddy and Calgon! Take me away!
But wait! There's more!
These cutie pie sheepys are free to a good home, Bob. They can either hang from your ears, or turn them into stitch markers to adorn your knits.
And finally, we've got a Lantern Moon project bag and of course, sheepy or flower cards. Winner's Choice!
Thanks Johnny! Now here's how you play. Answer the following question:

Doh!!!! Oh, Cara, I'm so, so sorry, I stuffed up royally!!! I got a bit excited and posted halfway thru reading your entry, b4 I read the rules. Of course I'm disqualified, and I hope I had the wrong answer so as not to spoil it for anyone. Going off now to bury my head in shame in my yarn......

Off to research . . . good thing I'm a librarian! Oh, and I finished my trekking Jaywalkers last night. I'll blog about them this week, I promise. I'm casting on for another pair this morning. This pattern is addicting!

Do you have another address I could mail my entry to...aol is not letting me send mine because your address is too long.(?)

Lovely Manos;-)

I thought the same as Margene. At first glance, I thought it was snow too. The sheep are so cute!
Posted by: Jae at December 10, 2005 09:15 AM
Margene and Jae have snow on the brain! But so do I, everywhere I look I see snow, I love it!

Tougher question this time - maybe not so many will know the answer... does this increase our chances of winning?.... ohhh Tuesday... c'mon Tuesday... there's Manos at stake here! :)
Posted by: Laura at December 11, 2005 10:37 AM

Hi Cara:

It took a bit, but I found it. The manos made me do it.
Posted by: Steph at December 11, 2005 08:34 PM

Manos lust is a wicked thing. Once I finished my research, I realized I had been reading you since then, just forgot about the change. Hope you're planning as much fun for your birthday as we're having playing your game.

Oh, doode. I just saw this. I gotta go back and read again.
