I was so excited to win the Iowa drawing in the contest hosted by Wool Winder! I haven't won many things, actually I think only a water bottle once at a family picnic for my dad's work when I was a teenager.

The yarn is thinner than I expected. I decided to cast on a sock ... for myself! I've never knit a pair to keep. I can't wear wool and haven't been able to find other yarn that would work for socks.

Thank you to Gerlinde who donated the yarn, and Wool Winder who hosted the contest. I love it!

And speaking of contests ... be sure to check out the contest for LucyBug from CvenKnits. It runs through the month of June - time to warm up those needles!

What Kim said ... what is in ombre?

Oh...that type of wool that is more than one colour on one skein. Don't you call it that? (must be another Canadianism )

Okay, I looked it up in the dictionary and it's a gradual fading of the colour from light to dark. So that wool is not an ombre. *blush* To be an ombre it would have to be like the wool that I am using which goes from mid-green to light green to white and back again.

See- you learn something new every day.
