All Warmed Up and Awarding Prizes

By ShadowDancer, on June 21st, 2008

This is it, ladies and gentlemen…

The warm ups are over. Tonight is the last night you’ll sleep before the Summer of 2008 has begun.

I’ve got yarn poised with needles and patterns, ready to be cast on tomorrow. I’ve got plans for all sorts of wonderful lace…..

I’ve unfinished lace projects that I’m pretty sure can’t count for anything at all — I’m pretty sure I’m more than half way through with Boing! I’m well past that with Willow. But that’s okay. I had fun warming up with you all while knitting on them. And I’m going to finish them this season whether they count for anything or not (not that I get to win, really, being the Prize Maven and all).

But someone gets to win today.

That’s because we have all these nifty prizes in our prize vault. And some of those prizes are just plain tired of waiting … .they want OUT! So I checked with my partners in glee, and we’ve decided that those of you who have participated from the beginning should get a chance at a little Warm Up Prize! As it turns out 80 of the over 200 registered members of Seasons of Lace posted during the Warm Up period. 3 of us are administrators, so we don’t count really. Well not for this anyway.

I sorted our list of Warm Up participants by the first date you posted — I had to sort it somehow, didn’t I? Then, I called upon the random number generator to pick me a number between 1 and 77.

Number 55 will be receiving two treats in the mail sometime soon:

First, a copy of Interweave’s wonderful Lace edition of Piecework

I’ve got this one myself. It got me to subscribe to Piecework no less! It’s got some yummy lace in there. Really.

And then, from Knit Foundry, a three-pack of Highlighter tape to help keep track of her place on the lace charts.

Higlighter Tape

I’d implode without my highlighter tape. There’s just never enough….

What?

OH!

You want to know WHO number 55 is?

Ebonyr! YOU are our lucky Warm Up Winner! Congrats! You should get an email from me … just let me know where to send your goodies, and I’ll have them on their way!
