Winners!

Sarah

We've got winners in our photo story contest!

First prize, and winner of a $50 Bella gift certificate: Kate (sadly blogless, it seems) whose entry you can see here. In three shots, Kate encapsulated the drama and excitement of a successful first scarf -- and how can you not love her pose in the last photo? Cracks me up every time!

Second prize, and winner of a purse hook: Carol, for her hilarious entry depicting a vicious kitty attack on a knitted mouse. Carol, your cat just looks so thrilled -- "look ma, I gots it!" I love it.

Third Prize, and winner of a knitting care kit: MissScarlett, for her adorable entry titled "Carpooling." My initial reaction, which has been repeated every time I look at that post, is "Awwwwww!"

I have to give some honorable mentions, too. These entrants may not have won a prize, but you should definitely pop over and leave a comment in praise of their storytelling skills!

- Applaud for Shannon, aka RayGunGirl, for telling one of my all-time favorite stories -- winding yarn into a ball! How cool is it that she got the swift and winder for Christmas? Good job, Shannon's parents!

- Marvel at Suzanne, aka Yarnhog, who suffered severe trials and tribulations (not enough yarn! event dates moved willy-nilly!) throughout the knitting process, all in order to give a friend a lovely wedding gift. Actually, lovely doesn't even cover it -- this Icarus shawl is freaking gorgeous. Check it out, and maybe drool a little at the beauty you behold!

Thanks! I especially liked Shannon's story, too. I can only imagine what her baffled parents thought they were buying before her pictorial explanation!
