I’ve drawn out the name of our lucky winner for week three!  I could draw out the suspense by writing about some new cloth that I’m working on, except that I’ve barely been knitting for the last couple of days.  I’ve been working on the same cloth for this whole time.  I really just needed to take a break.

So, without any delay…… week three’s winner is…… Helen Ensor!!!!!!!  Congratulations Helen!  I’ll be emailing you all the patterns from this week in a little while.  Thank you to everyone who cheered me on these past three weeks.  This challenge has been a lot of fun and has motivated me to add so many new patterns to the website.  I’m looking forward to running this challenge again in a couple of months, although I think I will have to modify the rules slightly to say something like 5 patterns in 7 days, or something like that.

I also drew out the 5 names for the end of the challenge winners.  Since the challenge lasted 3 weeks the 5 winners will each win 6 patterns of their choice picked from any of the patterns on my entire website.  The lucky winners are:  Debby C., Lynne, Laurie, Cheryl, and Pat! Congratulations to all five winners!  I’ll be emailing you about choosing your patterns. Pat cheered me on almost every day and also won the first weekly challenge.  Several of you cheered me on each day and I appreciate it so much.  I’m working on a couple of patterns for all of my cheerleaders — a couple of celebration themed patterns.  I was going to do a cheerleader pattern but I figured that not everyone has a reason to knit a cheerleader cloth.  The ones that I’m working on I hope will come in handy for you.  I’ll still need some time to get them ready though.

I think that’s all the news in closing out the Challenge.  I hope you all will still check in on the blog from time to time.  I’ll still be posting (although maybe not every day) about my knitting and projects that I’m working on.  I also do several other crafts that I may sneak in every so often.  You never know what you might find here!

I’ve been printing and cutting and folding little slips of paper like a madwoman for the last half hour and I have picked a winner for the second week of the challenge!!

But first, some fun with numbers.  For this second week, there were 53 comments made by 18 different posters.  Some people only posted once and some posted every day.  I enjoyed rereading all the comments from this week and it has made me to want to make sure that this challenge continues for a little while longer at least.  I am going to have a rough few days getting some patterns knit up because I have none in reserve.  We’ll just see what happens!

And without any further delay……the winner for this week is…….Lindsay!!!  Congratulations Lindsay!!  The winning comment that I drew out was from the first one of the week on Oct 27th when I posted the School Bus pattern.  She commented that her nephew would love that one.  Now she can knit one for him!  I’ll be emailing all the patterns from the week to you shortly, Lindsay.  Be on the lookout for them. 

And for everyone else, it’s really easy to get in on the drawings.  All you have to do is leave me a comment cheering me on in my crazy challenge.  You can leave one comment per day and we start all over each Monday.  I’m saving all the entries for another drawing at the end of the challenge.  I’ve spelled out all the details on this page: Challenge Details.

Check back tomorrow to see if I can actually keep this thing going for another day!
