100th Post!

Happy 100 Posts!! If you've read any, you know I'm goofy, so there you go. To celebrate we've had two contests this month. The Malabrigo scarf contest that involved some favorites and the July comments contest (you just had to comment...that was easy!).

The winner of the Malabrigo and pattern is.... Little Peeps!


And since there were so many fabulous entries I picked another winner... cbknits80! I'm excited you won because I can't figure out who you are...blogger won't give me any clues and you've been leaving me fabulous comments!! Thank you!
Cbknits80 is receiving 2 skeins of Misti's new Cotton that is 83% Pima Cotton and 17% Silk!

Now for all those comments. I love reading each and every one of them. As does my family too (my brother is the first to ask what the comments were about Little Guy....funny he nevers asks about the knitting...what a proud dad). As promised, you all are getting some of my favorites! I had to say I laughed when dad picked out the first winner!

Ms. Stilaholic Nartian Knits.

I laughed because my 1st prize, the one that I hinted at as Rockin, was of course, my favorite, Socks that Rock! I know Nartian will enjoy this skein! Of course, I had to search her blog to make sure she didn't have this colorway (as the initial colorway I was thinking of giving away she already had...girl after my own heart!). The colorway is Waterlilies! Special just for you guys because its not currently available on the website but it happened to be at Purlescense Yarns last week!! Yes, crappy picture, I know. My camera battery died as I was taking this picture. So sad. At least I had one picture to show.

The 2nd prize goes to The Curly Knitter (my fabulous upstream from Spring Fling!).
I'll be sending her 3 skeins of my other favorite, Blue Sky Alpacas alpaca yarn, in yummy chocolate.
And finally, Turtle, whose recently started a blog that I look forward to reading.
She'll be receiving one of my favorite colorways of the Misti Alpaca Handdyes.

If everyone who won could email me their address so that I can send you your goodies that would be great (send to irishgirlieknits AT gmail DOT com).

If you haven't had a chance to read some of the answers to the favorites, here's the post. I loved reading all of them and am still trying to read everyone's blogs. I wanted to compile in one spot the answer to "one of your favorite knitting blogs" so that I (and hopefully some of you) can read some new knitting blogs. I haven't had a chance to read all of them yet, but I look forward to reading them soon (along with all of the new blogs I came across from the participants!).
