By default*, the lovely Marie of Sel & Poivre is the winner of the drawing! I am actually really happy about this because she recently mentioned my blog in the Beautiful Blog Award meme. Marie, send me an e-mail with your address and I will send along the pattern for the Siena hat! 🙂 I’ve had two drawings on my blog and, for some reason, even though I get a lot of viewers/hits on these posts, barely anyone enters — why is that?!!? My drawings must be duds…
In other news, I am in the process of making this amazing scarf:

Cedar by Isager

Same scarf, different colorway
I saw this scarf made up in person by a friend. It was soft and gorgeous. I had to make it! My colors are similar to the first photo — off-white, light green & dark green. The yarn is much pricier than I’m used to spending but having seen a completed version, I know it’ll be worth it. Luxury!
Finally, I am pleased to report that the school auction is over and was a huge success. I honestly was not mentally prepared for the amount of work it would entail — but it was worth every minute. I learned a lot and had fun — and we raised money for worthy scholarships. Yea!
* My sister, the other commenter and a non-knitter, asked not to be included in the drawing when she made her comment.

Beautiful scarf! I missed the drawing, I was immersed in something else, and didn’t check my usual blogiverse.

The scarf (brioche stitch) is a lot of fun! Sorry you missed the drawing…

Strange, I did comment on your blog but it didn’t show up — maybe part of your challenge is that your comment page isn’t always working properly? Not sure you’ll get this one either, but thought I’d try again. BTW, nice hat and scarf set.

OMG — Joanie, you posted a comment?!?! I never received it!!! I am sooooooo sorry. I hope others will let me know if that happened to them too. Have you posted other comments that I haven’t received? THANK YOU for bringing it to my attention. Again, I am sorry — I had no idea!

Oh why don’t you have another run at it? I’m always amazed at how bloggers use contests to prompt huge numbers of comments compared to what they usually get. The culprit must be a technical glitch!
At least redo the draw with the two commenters above! It would be more in the spirit of the thing and if they tried to comment they should have a chance to win!

Beautiful scarf. I guess I missed the drawing too. Glad Marie won though.

Thanks, Brenda! The scarf is surprising me by being much harder than it looks! 🙂
