AND THE WINNER IS!

I must admit, I had no idea that so many wonderful submissions would be made. Your stories made me laugh and cry. It is so cool that such a simple thing as knitting has made a mark on so many lives. After much agonizing, I finally threw my top names into a hat and picked a winner. And the winner is............

Paddlespinner

Please email me your shipping information and I will get these out to you this week. Thanks again to everyone who participated. I will try to do a contest of some sort every few months, so check back often. I think that the next one will be something fun and goofy!

Wouldn't you love to have these glass stitch markers?

In celebration of my new blog, I am going to give one lucky knitter a gorgeous set of handmade stitch markers. They are made with sterling, glass, and crystals.

All you need to do is tell me why knitting has made a mark on your life! I will be accepting comments until February 11th and then I will post the winner. Have fun with it, be serious, or plead if you must. Please only one comment per person. You may comment to any of my posts to enter, just note contest in your subject line. Thanks for looking! I can't wait to see what everyone writes!
