A still-saturated world on a morning walk |
At midnight I was awoken by a massive rainstorm, with thunder that just went on and on and on. It seemed unlikely that sleep would be returning anytime soon, so I fluffed up the pillows, downloaded a couple of free audiobooks from my regional library, and enjoyed some P.G. Wodehouse while the storm provided background drama.
Oh, and while the books were downloading I did one other thing: I went through the comments on the May Giveaway post, deleted any accidental duplicates, and tallied up 57 entries.
Fifty-seven readers who like colorful sock yarn...I am delighted!
I used the random.org generator to turn the numbers 1 through 57 into a random sequence. The top number was 43, so I counted down the comment list to the 43rd.
The winner is: Nicole!
Nicole wrote: I would love to win! I am not a sock knitter, so I would make some awesome, colourful hexipuffs out of it :)
That sounds entirely awesome, and I will be looking forward to seeing your results, Nicole. Please send a picture? :)
(And who knows...if you aren't happy with the patterning on the hexis, this yarn may inspire you to join the legions of addicted sock knitters. Mwah hah hah....)
Thank you, one and all who entered. It was hard not to reply, but I thought having just your comments under that post would make it simpler to count them and do the drawing. And it did. But I loved your comments, especially the ones that made me laugh, and the one from LindaVK on rav who liked the Postcard from the Paddock post enough to email it to other people...thank you, Linda! That comment really made my day!
