And the Winners Are...

Again, let me thank all of you for your patience this week. I always underestimate how busy the week after Labor Day will be for me.

Anyway, without further ado, let me announce the winners of Summer of Squares:

Cole wins a skein of handpainted alpaca for most number of squares.

Barbara wins a skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted for the most squares donated to charity.

Then I had my disinterested 3rd party (my dh) draw 2 names for the random drawing. I am happy to announce that Lyndsey Jane won a skein of Cherry Tree Hill Supersock fingering weight yarn, and Karen won Cole's donated prize, a copy of One Skein Wonders.

If all of the winners could email me your addresses, I will get the prizes in the mail asap.

Congratulations to all the winners, and a great big thank you to all of you who participated. It's been a really fun summer making all those squares! And thanks to the couple of you who mentioned doing this again next summer. I'm game, althought I think I will start it a little earlier next year so that maybe we will get a few more participants. So stay tuned next May for another Summer of Squares!

Over already?

It has been quite a challenge this summer to get those squares knitted. I started off really well in July and then skidded to a halt almost in August. I really wish I had time to make more but with the wedding and all the moving I feel really accomplished to have knit as many as I did. I hope we can get in for another round next summer.
Now that we are almost unpacked after a weekend of moving -- I hoped to get started up again by the end of the week.
I know I'm late and appologize. As of now I still have no pictures. My computer decided it didn't want to work anymore, so I've been using the no-sound, no-video, no-camera-hookup one instead. So, while I have been trying my best to make squares, I have no proof that I have made any yet. *sigh*

I guess that's all. Have really enjoyed seeing everyone else's work this summer. Maybe a round two next year? Possibly?

An Apology

I haven't forgotten that Summer of Squares in coming to a close this weekend. It's just turned into a busier than expected weekend for me. I promise I will award the prizes in the next day or too. Thank you for your patience!
