OK, seriously. I need to go buy a lottery ticket or something.



Isn't that a lovely picture? From the left, that's 4 oz of Royal Hare merino top (colorway "Pacific Emerald") and a wrist distaff made of handspun/handdyed Sea Island cotton, from Ted; the prize for a contest he ran last month. Did you know that Jonathan Bosworth, of Journey Wheel and spindle fame, is also one of the few modern woodworkers to have made an oboe da caccia, an obscure Baroque woodwind instrument? I didn't either, but now I do, thanks to Ted's contest. The yarn on the right is two skeins of Seacoast Handpainted Superwash Sock in "Maine" and "Sugar Plum", and a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy Sock in "In Vino Veritas." This is from Kris (proprieter of Sonny and Shear); prizes for two of the birthday contests she ran around the beginning of the year (Seacoast Handpainted), and the February contest in her store's newsletter (Smooshy).

Now, I'm not complaining, but I think three out of these four prizes had the winner picked by random number draw. My stars must be aligned.
