I won ! I won !

I'm so excited right now. A while back, I entered the contest from Simply Sock Yarn Company. You should go check out their site, it's really cool. Lots of great stuff. My budget doesn't let me order yarn very often, but they were on the very short list of places I would be ordering from when I get a bit further through my sock yarn stash. Plus, the store has a blog. How cool is that, a store with a blog ! Matt got the biggest kick out of that. He told me to make sure I bookmarked it. Of course, by then, it was already listed in my Bloglines account so I can keep up to date with it.

When I entered,I didn't even think I would win. After all, I never win those type of contests. Actually, I never win any contests. But, the whole thing of the contest was to provide them with feedback on thier site, and if you did so, they would put you in the running to win some stuff from them. I thought it was a great way to get feedback on their site and thier store from poeple who would really be shopping there.

I got an email from Allison Van Zandt the owner of Simply Sock Yarn Company to let me know that I was the grand prize winner. I'm getting an 11 size assortment of Crystal Palace Double Pointed Needles ! I'm just in shock right now. I won. I've never used Crystal Palace. But, I've heard great things about them. I can't wait to try them out ! I'm just so excited that I'm not makeing much sence right now. Sorry about that.

I will post pictures of the needles when I get them. I'm so excited. I can't wait.

Congrats on the win! I just bought my first sock yarn from SSYC and can't wait to try it. I noticed in your blog that you live in the Lawrence area. I am over in Independence, MO and am planning a trip soon to the Yarn Barn. I have heard good things and can't wait to visit. I may also have to stop by Footprints while I'm in town.
