and the winner is.....

Thank you all for entering the Stitch 'n Bitch Nation Giveaway contest!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your diverse and creative suggestions for using the souvenir camel yarn that came home from our Alaskan honeymoon. We were delighted to read all of your wonderful ideas and will let you know as soon as we decide what will be knitted from that groovy yarn. If you haven't read all these intriguing ideas then please scroll down and check them out.

Now I'm sure you're all dying to know who the winner is. Well...it was a long and grueling process to select the winner. First I had to cut up little pieces of equally sized paper. Then I carefully recorded everyone's name onto an individual slip. It seems there were duplicate names from different people so I had to be careful to differentiate the two names. The correct vessel had to be selected to hold the entry forms.

The husband was recruited as an objective third party to draw out the actual winner. Then the entries had to be swirled and shuffled around on the inside.



There were two false starts with one slip of paper accidentally falling out onto the floor and the first drawing consisting of two entry forms. Finally....




Congratulations to...



Valerie, please email me with your address so that I can get your prize in the mail to you.

This has been some of the most fun I've had with my knitting blog and I thank everyone who stopped by to share their comments with me.
