Waaay back in the early fall, Susan suggested we run a knit-along for the members in the SweetGeorgia Ravelry group. SUCH a great idea. There were nearly 70 finished objects entered for prizes and they were all either made with SweetGeorgia yarn or spinning fibre or made from a SweetGeorgia pattern. Here are our prize winners:
Andrea (arian624 on Ravelry) from Victoria is our Grand Prize winner who will received a skein each of Tough Love Sock, BFL Sock and Silk Crush sock in colours she’s picked (Summer Skin, Coastal and Riptide) as well as a set of all our patterns. Stella is a pretty strongly variegated colourway, but I’m so happy to see how the stitch pattern in the socks breaks up the colourway a bit and makes it so fun to look at.
Kate (Aelia on Ravelry) from Australia is our Second Place Prize winner who will received a skein of Tough Love Sock as well as a set of all our patterns. This Shaelyn shawl is so stunning! I’ve just downloaded a copy of the pattern to play with too.
Our third place winner is Grace (sprouts on Ravelry, who spins and knits the most lovely handspun). Grace receives a copy of all our patterns. I’m so happy her prize-winning shawl was knit up in our October 2011 Sock Club colourway, Rockwater! I love seeing this knit up.
And finally, Maya (mayapof on Ravelry) knit a beautiful North Wind hat that won her a fourth place prize… a gift from the lovely Julia at mindofwinter. CashLuxe Fine held double… so yum.
There were so many really exquisite projects, I wish I could link them all!
- iliketobike’s socks (beautiful texture)
- misocrafty’s Neither Here and There hat (such cool use of two contrasting colours)
- mayapof’s Plain and Simple pullover in Tough Love (Blackberry)
- luvinthemommyhood’s North Wind hat in my favourite colour, Raspberry
- pretty much all of sprout’s sock club projects… the Indian Wedding Jaywalkers, Sitka Dragonfly socks, Vampire Christmas Dragonfly socks… and you must see Cameron’s Winter Hose.
Thank you so much to Susan for her constant encouragement to all the participants and her hard work in putting this KAL together! Thank you to all the participants… I hope you enjoy all your finished objects! And of course, congratulations to the winners!
