And the winner is......

I want to thank everyone for participating in the contest. There were 16 entries in total. 1 person had two entries, so her name was added to the list below all of the single-entry individuals. I found a random number generator online, and here are the results.

The 14th comment was posted by Nancy of Knitarooooo! Congratulations. Please send me the picture that you would like me to put on your stitch markers. I will take care of the cropping and other formatting. I am so happy to send you this gift.
And, since we are on the topic of contests...Sophanne is having a contest that I would like to participate it. She asked that we post a picture of our favorite halloween costume. I never really go all out for Halloween, but last year I got invited to a Halloween party by my friend saying "You better come, and be in a costume". At the last minute, I picked out this costume from Ricky's. It was within my budget, and I really digged it because it had pink hair.

Me as Pebbles from the Flintstones.
Hehe!! Oh, am my caveman friend... I met him at the party that night, and it was totally unplanned. However we did manage to snag the prize for "Best Couple Costume", even though we weren't really a "couple". Haha!! It was a lot of fun. Thanks J!!

So, I have knitting group tomorrow, and the weather is really cold. I am making something to keep me warm, and here is the first half of it. Hopefully I can finish it before my neck freezes. Yes, it's another Crofter's Cowl. I am in love with this pattern. I am making it using 2 skeins of Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk Aran. This yarn is really soft. I casted on 80 stitches as the pattern specified, for a cowl that fit close to the neck. I have enough yarn to add an extra pattern repeat, and still have enough of a yarn tail to kitchener it to together. I am going Cowl Crazy. I plan on making at least 2 more in the near future.

You are the cutest Pebbles I've ever seen and it's so funny that the guy is someone you just met. I think I need to jump off the cliff lemming-style and start knitting a cowl too.
