Yo, It's A Mini-Contest

Blah, blah, blah, I have no knitting content tonight. Why? Stupid horses. As God is my witness, as well as all the people in the blogsphere, I will never complain about cleaning a litter box again. Because cleaning a litter box pales in comparison to cleaning a stall. And I'm not even horse sitting any more. But I was at the barn and busy hands are happy hands. Cleaning stalls isn't really difficult. The difficult part is when you have a horse that wants to help. Sniff, sniff. "Is this MY poop?" Sniff, sniff. "Is this rake edible?" Sniff, sniff. "Are there treats in your pocket?" Nibble, nibble. "Mmm, this is one tasty t-shirt you've got on." Sniff, sniff. "Is this really MY poop?" Lick, lick. "I think there's something edible in your ear." Pfffffttttt. "Oh, excuse me, it's the alfalfa."

So let's have a little contest, eh? No massive prize baskets or thousand dollar gift certificates to Yarnmarket. Nope, just one lonely little ball of yarn.

Lana Grossa, 80% superwash wool, 20% polyamid and enough to make a pair of sockies. Would probably make a lovely pair of fall socks. Or Christmas. Give it as a gift at Christmas! Use it instead of twist ties on your garbage bags. Whatever your muse tells you to do. How do you win this lonely little ball of yarn? Leave a comment. Doesn't really matter what you say. "April, you run sucky contests." "April, enough with the Koigu promotions." "April, we're sick of hearing about horses." "April, you are the most wonderful person in Blogland." At 11pm PST tomorrow night (after Law & Order) I'll pull a name out of a really ugly crocheted hat. That hideous blue thing I made with the fun fur fringe. Yes, really. And someone will win this little ol' ball of yarn. I may throw something else in the package like say .... Andy! So enter. It'll be fun. More fun than a barrel of Andys.

In the mail yesterday ...

Another ORIGINAL trek sock bag! Tres elegant wouldn't you say? This would be an appropriate bag for knitting at the symphony. This puts my current collection at 4 "on hand" sock bags and 1 "missing" sock bag (thank you, Andy). And rumor has it, work has begun on the Garden Gnome bags. I hope I remembered to pre-order. Since I know trek's snail mail address by heart and all.
