Happy New Year!
We have winners!
Stephanie
Stacey S.
Michelle
Rachel
Deb
I've emailed all the winners - so if your name is up there and you think you might be a winner, check your email (and your spam filters!) Email me your address and I'll get the prize out to you as soon I receive the yarn from Blue Moon.
There really were only six possible socks to choose from: the Trekking Walking on Sunshine Sock, the STR Hot Flash Jaywalker, STR Panzanite Jaywalker, the Koigu Embossed Leaves Sock and the Koigu Purple Knee High. And the last pair of socks knit in 2006 were...
My new shoes and my new socks!
Dansko Camilla in Black Oiled Leather
That's right - who knew I was so predictable? I started the year knitting jaywalkers and I ended the year knitting jaywalkers. Nothing like completing the circle.
Jaywalkers in STR Hot Flash, picot edge variation. I forgot how much I like to knit this sock - it goes SO quickly. This is my 10th finished pair of Jaywalkers. I still have a pair to finish - and maybe I'll make another pair, you know, to even things out. But not quite yet. I've started two new pairs of socks:
Simple stockinette socks, two at a time, G-Rocks and January One. Perfect together.
I hope you all have a happy, safe, wonderful New Year. Thank you so much for spending some of your time here. I really appreciate it and enjoy you and the blog and the larger knitting community so much. It's given great richness to my life. Here's to 2007! Bring it on!

Love the new shoes and Hot Flash socks! Y'know, I believe I saw their genesis during the Mason-Dixon book signing at Knitty City. Sending photo by email.

Darn! Should've known that! After all, all I've been having lately is hot flashes! Not the socks either!;)

Happy Birthday - and I didn't pick the Jays 'cause I didn't figure there was any way you'd let a second one languish long enough to be a UFO!

Happy Birthday from a fellow New Year's baby nand knitter!! Our horoscope says that in this September, we have a chance to turn out hobby into a job! Take care.
Posted by: catherine at January 1, 2007 10:46 AM
Ah, well, at least I got one of the six. I hope you do finish that second purple knee high, the first one is so gorgeous. Then again, those Jaywalkers are pretty spiffy too.
See you around...

Happy Birthday, Cara! and Happy New Year!
What a way to wake up and discover that I'm a winner!
Thank you so much!!!
The generosity of knitbloggers always is impressive. It is so kind of you to celebrate your birthday by sharing goodies with us readers. And kudos to Blue Moon for their generosity toward skin cancer research through the G-Rocks proceeds!
Thanks again--you've really started my New Year out on the right foot (no pun intended...)

Happy Birthday, Cara! Thanks for sharing so much of your life on the blog. I enjoy your photos, and of course, the knitting. Best wishes to you and Georgie for the New Year. I'm so glad that he's joined the ranks of cancer survivors (me, too, almost 14 years.) Have a wonderful year!
