Winner!

I'm camera-less today, so you'll have to forgive the lack of pictures. I have, however, been knitting like a busy little bee. I've spent a lot of time at Knit Happens lately, what with a knit and nosh on Friday (or should we rename it knit and sip? Holly? Stephanie??) and then headed back there Saturday afternoon--after running errands in the rain in Georgetown (aka land of impossible weekend parking), I needed a little knitting zen. And now the Go With the Flow socks are DONE! DONE! and I even wove in the ends on Saturday at the happy place, while learning all about pot roast techniques. So, sock pictures soonly. I've even started on another little project, but you'll have to wait to see it.

But for now, I have an important announcement to make:

Congratulations Winnie! Winnie was one of only two people to guess the correct color -- blue! (Go congratulate her and check out her kickass Jaywalker!) But yeah, blue -- it surprised me too. I think it's funny that most of people who know me in real life guessed green--if you'd asked me before the yarnventory, I would have said green too. But, blue makes up about 45% of my stash -- shock! I guess you'll be seeing me in a lot of blue knits in years to come.

Oh, and the total yardage? Was more than you people give me credit for. I'm clocking in at 33,813 yards of yarn that I own. Yes, I gobsmacked myself. That's more than 19 miles of yarn, which is terrifying. I could knit myself from my house to Tysons Corner, via the Beltway! (Okay, that mental image cracks me up... a knitter making her way along the side of the Beltway.)

In any event, Sarah of Crafty Snargle was the closest guess at 28,512, so she'll get a little something for her smarts. And to everyone else, thanks for playing!

Okay, and now, since I have no pictures to show you, go check out the amazing new designs from the Rowan Yarns Classic line (and come back soon!). Clearly, this is where all the good designs from the Rowan shop are going now, since the Rowan 39 preview leaves a lot to be desired. But I must make this, from Rowan Classic Art:

and this, from Rowan Classic Summer (though without the odd ribbon trim):

and this, from Rowan Classic Beach:

So I guess all three of those will be joining my book stash when they hit the shelves. (And yes, um, I am a cable/lace/texture girl at heart, but we knew that already!).
