Winter Is Here & A Contest Winner ~
By Sarah | November 25, 2007
Scenes from the weekend……
First big snow of the winter. Doesn’t look like much snow here, but it was coming down at quite a clip (with wind gusts to 40 mph, no less).
There was some knitting done……
It’s B – Modeling her Slouch Copy Cat Hat. Turned out great. Although still needs a good blocking (no time to block, see top picture). Once blocked, lot’s more slouch to the hat. Highly recommend – very fun knit.
And, we have a new knitter amongst us….. B is knitting her very first item – a neck warmer. Out of Shibui Baby Alpaca DK.

Us girls, hamming it up.


Just after we went crazy at the chocolate fountian – just because the 7 strawberries I ate were covered in chocolate doesn’t mean they weren’t good for me, right?
M & T – The life of the party, as always!
Hey there B & W in Guyana and T & L in Hickory……. you guys were missed, it’s just not the same without you.
And, now, about the contest. Thanks to everyone for playing along and, now, the winner is…… Lin! Lin – please contact me with your mailing information and as soon as your yarn is all dyed up I will get it mailed off to you pronto.
Finally, its back to business, in a BIG way here at TPK HQ. Heating up the dye pots, winding the skeins off the cones and ready to cook up some snazzy yarns for you all.

Look at that face!

Looks like such a blast! I *love* the snow.
And starting a new knitter on something as *luscious* as that Shibui is a good bet.
