NEW PRIZES!!!

Your donation of $10 will get you the My Wish pattern and one entry into the drawing for these and the other fantastic prizes, unless otherwise noted, and you'll receive one additional entry for every $10 donated.

1. Two skeins of Sock Hop Yarn from Crown Mountain Farms in the Free Bird colorway donated by Tonia.



2. A pattern of the donor's choice (up to a $10 value) donated by Erin from the MommyNeedsYarn videocast.

3. A skein of Wollmeise 100% SW Merino in the Maus Jung Colorway, donated by Diane from the Knitabulls Audio Podcast and Video podcast.




4. A gorgeous hand knit Little Shells shawl knitted in Sundara Silk Sport yarn, donated by Diane from the Knitabulls Audio Podcast and Video podcast.



You can see the rest of the prizes here.

In my last post, I announced that Carin had generously donated the My Wish Shawl she test knit using her handspun and Wollmeise. Here is a photo of this gorgeous shawl.



And finally, I'm making progress on the first of the five skeins of handspun I'm spinning for the prizes. This is the Polwarth wool from the Woolgatherings fiber club. It's going to be a 2-ply fingering weight yarn - perfect for a pair of socks or a small shawl.



I really can't say thank you enough to everyone who has supported my fundraising efforts. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll share with you Ashford's reaction to the news that we had broken $3,000.



There was much celebrating at Chez LynnZimm.
