Dishcloth cotton!  Assorted skeins of other pretty yarn!

And a selection of wonderful books, to enhance your coffee table and your library:

Mason-Dixon Knitting, the book (I bet it'll be signed by Kay and Ann)!  The Yarn Girls' Guide to Knits for All Seasons!  Naughty Needles! Romantic Handknits!  Knits Three Ways!

From CARA! Some packs of her exquisite Color Collection notecards:

 

And from the incomparable Margene, this beautiful Cherry Tree Hill Suri Alpaca laceweight:

Mmm, those rosy sunset colors!

AND THAT'S NOT ALL: 

Also from Margene, a bouquet of Opal sock yarns.  Fun!

More prizes tomorrow!  You're not gonna believe what we've got for you tomorrow!  I can't help myself with all the exclamation points in this entry!!!  It's addictive!!  I hope I don't die of exclamation pointitis!!

These are some awesome prizes. This is a nifty project.

I already have a book signed by Ann & Kay. With lots of x's and o's. They love me, you know.

Wow! Za! Isn't this great?

Margene is giving away pink alpaca laceweight AND sock yarn?! I need to go lie down.

Ok, ok, ok, ok, all right already, I donated to OFA and voted 5 times for Ryan. (Sorry; only one PC [working], and I'm an agoraphobe. Outside voting, not gonna happen.) I'm not even a regular reader! ;) Honestly, you're simply happily floating around randomly following links in the blogosphere, you click a link when someone shows a picture of a gorgeous aspiring young actor (evil trick, that), then you see prizes, and donations you can make instead of knitting, which knowing your completion rate - or lack thereof - is always the better option, and before you know it, you're madly clicking everything in sight with a slightly crazed look in your eye.

And I thought Stephanie was bad with the sockBorging... [vbg]

[Kathy]

All great!

[Beth Ingersoll]

I voted for Ryan, too!! Aren't you proud that I remembered? I am.

And I'm going today to get my Red Scarf project yarn. I'm doing a ribbed pattern that looks just GORGEOUS on paper! So I can still be included in the drawings, right? Because those are some YUMMY prizes!!

[margene]

As you know I'm a huge fan of exclamation points!! They belong in this post most of all!!! Go work, grrl!

[Isela]

Pointitis, lol!

[Wanda]

I put a little plug up for you on my blog, hope it helps OFA and Ryan! :-)

YIPPEE YAHOO, NORMA!!

Hello again with a question--
Is there a physical address we can donate to? I am planning on a scarf, and I have even bought my red yarn over a month ago in anticipation. But! I was not left with a warm fuzzy after using Paypal once before and they still spam me.

Thanks!

Oi! Norma! I made a donation and voted for the stud-muffin! Get off my back! (I'm kidding on that last.) Thanks!
