and the winner is.

...me!

I know, it's shocking, isn't it? but then sara reminds me that this isn't the first time. and maybe it's a new trend? (or maybe it's just the many many comments I leave on all those blogs does pay off!)

maybe one of the best things about these two wins is the thrill of having emails from these famous bloggers in my inbox, letting me know I've won. (and yes, it's been really hard to type my replies without way too many exclamation points :-)

first up, from kristen kapur of through the loops, a copy of her newest pattern for mitts and a beret.

sadly, we don't carry the yarn she used, but I think the debbie bliss luxury tweed aran might be a good substitute and it comes in a pretty green.

and then just today, from melanie aka lit*chick, a copy of year of wonders by geraldine brooks. bookclub read this a few years ago, but I missed that meeting and didn't get a chance to read the book. it was a huge hit with everyone, though, and I really enjoyed march, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
