She won a skein sock yarn hand dyed by me! She was chosen with my highly scientific process of me numbering everyone who added a comment and then asking Giants Knitter to pick a number between 1 and 15 :) She picked 12 and there we have it.
There will also be some other goodies in the package - but here's a look at the yarn.
I am calling this colorway "Dreamsicle" because it reminds me of those frosty treats I used to eat as a kid. (which I think were actually named Creamsicles - but we always called them Dreamsicles)
Man I could go for one now actually - it's always sweltering in my office!
In other news - I have been busily working on my Central Park Hoodie. I am more than halfway done with the back right now. Here are some pictures I took over the weekend - but I think I've done about 4 more repeats since these were taken.
I just love this yarn - it's working up very quickly and I am definitley not bored with it. The cables and the subtle variations in the yarn keep it interesting and fun.
I hope everyone has a great week - it's finally starting to warm up around here - so hopefully some of our ice will melt soon! I did wake up to the most beautiful sunrise this morning - I thought I'd share....

Wow those cables with that yarn look great. It'll be a lovely sweater.
And pretty sunrise pic. I am rarely up early enough for those!
I demand a recount! And do it again until I win that yarn - it's gorgeous!
Gee , I know you are calling it Dreamsicle, but it reminds me of the candy necklaces on elastic. We used to eat them right off our necks - and in our teens our boyfriends nibbled on them. Ahhhh... those were the days.
I slept in this morning, and after seeing your picture - wish I hadn't. It was nice to see the sun on the snow wasn't it?
