A Peek at the Prizes...
I said I'd post pics of the Comment Prizes once we were past #950 so I apologize for being a bit late in doing this! The prize for Comment #999 is a copy of the book The Pattern Companion: Knitting. It's a terrific collection of awesome patterns, some with charted colorwork, some with textured stitches or novelty yarns. The best part is that they are all classics. Each presents an opportunity to suit your own taste, change yarns, embellish etc. Good for the beginner or advanced knitter. Lots of sweaters plus a section on accessories, children's wear and afghans.
The prize for Comment #1000 is a lovely mug that says "So much yarn, so little time" and two pre-wound 100 gm skeins of Quatro by Cascade Yarns, 100% Peruvian Wool, in a funky colorway of bright pink, rich purple and spring green (suggested needle size 7-8 US). I imagine it would make a great little shawl or a wide scarf... or....???
Oh, and did I mention we are getting close to Post #400? When we get there everyone who comments on it will get a their name put in a hat for this skein of sock yarn in the Springtime colorway (green/soft yellow/baby blue) ... I was digging around in my stash the other day and realized I would never use this, it's too fine for my liking! So good luck everyone - you never know if you'll be "the one"!

Love prizes and I just received mine in the mail today. Thank you, thank you!
The hefty little book, Knitting Stitches, is packed with interesting tid-bits and tons of stitches of all kinds to sample. Great to keep in a basket with my Elann samples for when I just have a few minutes to knit.
Thank you, this will keep me in stitches for quite a while. I'm on Ravelry as: buffiesbanter. My maiden name is Buff, so to most, I am Buffie.

Very nice prizes! What are you going to knit from the Jacob you spun up? (I love Jacob) I remember you made a shawl from some yarn. A vest maybe? one with a long back would be way useful in the spring (if it ever really gets here!)
