:LOL Somehow I knew I would win Patti's patterns. Since I own, and am even licensed in, them all! :D

As an engineer, I am very proud of winning the Best Functionality award. :pink

Woo, Hoo! Excuse me while I dance around the house. I actually WOKE THE SPOUSE to share the news. By pouncing on him, hehehe. His last dream thought must have been of a lion landing on him, LOL. I am thrilled, because its the first thing I've won, except the baby lotto when I gave birth to my one perfect fruit, but I have a feeling many of you are now thinking, "Hey, wait! I won that!!!!"

11-03-2005, 10:00 AM

LOL! Pam, did you have to invent a category for mine? Hee hee hee!

So, Patti dear....what would you like? I made up half-a-million stitch markers last night - do you want to wait until I have them all stocked before you choose?

Amy, do you need any stitch markers or F&F patterns? I'd be happy to donate in lieu of Patti's patterns, if you like!

I read this Somehow I knew I would win Patti's patterns. Since I own, and am even licensed in, them all! and of course, since I am the only Patti in my little world, hehehe, I thought, "What patterns???" and then, of course I remembered that, strangely, there is actually someone with prior dibs on my name here. It just trips me out every time! Now I'm wondering when the strangeness will wear off, hehehe.

That's ok - when I read Stell asking you about stitchmarkers I couldn't figure out why I was being offered stitchmarkers. lol

Oooh, Stell, what to do, what to do. I'm like a little kid in a candy store here, and I have to get ready to go to work. I guess I'll have to wait.

Did you know that you are a genus of plants? In the carnation family? It sounded familiar, and I refreshed my memory. You do better in Wisconsin than here in CA. There ist the starworts, and here its.. um... chickweed. Now what makes me think that might not be so far from fitting???? XXOO Patti

11-03-2005, 10:17 AM

And this shows the very best part of all: we're trading the prizes around in a very gracious, cool and generous way. There may be hope for the world, yet.
Pam McGary- I don't know if we are sharing the prize for silliest or what, but you can have first pick, OK?
Gotta go get into my black and white and blue outfit and go feed the masses with fish. Yeah, I dress like a bruise and pretend to be biblical, lol. Not really... I pretend to be civil, hehehehehheheh. Wait'll they hear at work. Like they have a chance of hearing about anything else, hehehe.

11-03-2005, 10:21 AM

Only if you have a kid like mine. And here's hoping you DON'T. She gives me fits!
Anyway, yep, Patti - that's where my name comes from - Chickweed. It's my "If you were a professor at Hogwarts, what would your name be?" name :D
I'll try to get all the markers stocked by tomorrow! Oh, and I have downloadable patterns now, too, if that helps you select ;)

That's sweet, Patti. :) But I had fun just getting the design experience. I'm sure there will be someone else who would be willing to trade prizes.

I was just waiting to hear what was going to be done with 'our' prize...And trying to think up something witty to say b/c wasn't it you that I emailed Pamelamama's address to - and I said it better not be for a better entry in this contest??????

pamelamama

11-03-2005, 05:25 PM

OK, IMPORTANT UPDATES~

Cathy's prize has been added, her bag was the favorite of my best girlfriend who insists I give it to her. She was also the first one to get her submission in!! I just did all this late at night under some stress, and made a clerical error, sorry Cathy, I hope you like your prize!!! Let me know which three patterns you want!

Katie's pattern has now been uploaded... I dont know why it wasn't before?? Same late night issue, I think!~

Thank you to all the designers.... get the word out everyone!! Let's give these gals some karma!!

Ya, dat wuz me! And although Pamelamamma did send the addy soon thereafter, you did give it to me first. So, with the power vested in me as the Mayor of Munchkin City, I hereby bestow first pick upon you.:dust
Hey, I can give you Karma, too, I bet! Gonna try..................

Silly me, not to have realized that!! I'm going to see if I can get you some alternate prizes. Do you already have all of my patterns?

Anyone have anything else for Amy!!??

11-03-2005, 08:48 PM

Ooohh, Amy, what would be your dream prize???

stellaria

11-03-2005, 08:52 PM

I've got a pattern & stitch marker set for Amy, if she so chooses :D

Patti, I just stocked all my stitch markers, so you can go pick yours out now! Just e-mail me from the contact button in my store with your choices :) Markers are under Supplies and Notions.

Stell is a sweetheart and has me covered. :D

That said, I believe we each get a pattern from you, no? If so, the only pattern from you that haven't gotten around to purchasing is the FCC soaker. I think it wasn't for sale when I bought all the other FCC patterns. :) Still waiting on the sweater pattern to be posted in your store - btw. :stern:

DId I say everyone gets a pattern from me? I dont see that anywhere, but I have a notoriously bad memory. Can you help me find that?

In other news, I sort of gave up on the FCC sweater. I never got enough testing done. Maybe I'll post it for free a la marnie after I get done with my boutique opening and the membership drive!

smillerky

It does say that somewhere on the contest info page...

Yep here it is:

Prizes:
Grand Prize: $50
First Runner Up: $25
Winners in all categories: Choice of one free Wooly Wonder Pattern

Since we are on the topic... How do we 'redeem' our prizes? Just wondering! :)

pamelamama

11-05-2005, 06:19 PM

Ha! In fact it does say that! So just email me what pattern you want and I'll zip back with the PDF! As for the other prizes, I need to let the donors know who they should send stuff to. If you want you can send an email, or I will take care of it some time this weekend!

:D

Well, I wouldn't want to hurt a young mother with small children, so I would have "thrown" the match, tee hee hee.

And I did tell you that you could have first choice, and I am completely, if embarassingly, unfamiliar with both Dashing Dachs and KnitWitz, so if you want to trade, we can. I'm cool either way.

I'm just glad I got validation of my artistic vision. Man, does that sound pompous, or what??? But, seriously, I'll get an idea, and think its great, but then, what do you do to get feedback? Hey, I think I'll start a thread on this!!

Patti

AW Patti---- are you referring to me as a young mother w/small children?

Are you SERIOUS or just buttering me up so I will give you the whole prize?

Like you I am unfamilar with the donor's of 'our' prize......I lead a sheltered knitting life I guess. (I have a BUNCH of peace fleece just waiting to be knit..)

I am just thrilled to get anything! Patti and I were just 'debating' who would get which part of the prize.And it was probably good that you picked for us or we would have been so indecisive that nothing would have been decided.

pmcgary

11-06-2005, 12:46 PM

Well, I'll be 50 in January, so its sure not meeeeehehehehehe.

You gave me the address, so if you want to trade, YOU have to decide.

Well, I have to go wrestle some 90" long cushion covers through my sewing machine, ack! I can't believe how big these freakin' cushions are! Getting the covers on them in gonna be like Anaconda wresting in the Everglades. Bleah! That's the great thing about soakers. Babies are, pretty much by definition, smaller than an ananconda, ROTFLMBO.... so, the handling aspect is vastly easier...

Patti

I guess I am 'younger'--- apparently a relative term (I am 42 years young!). I will have to hang out with you more often. I am so used to being the 'old' mom (remember I posted recently about being asked if I was my dd's GRANDMA! And she is nearly 4!)

Oh, I am fine with the yarn. I don't know much about teh Dashing Dachs stuff...but I at least know what the peece fleece is like (and it should coordinate with something I already have too....)

11-25-2005, 10:47 PM

Yes, it did, and I LOOOOVED the cute picture your daughter drew. She's a very talented artist. I love the way she draws the knitting in pyramid shapes. What in the world do you knit around her??? :) I bet she's really smart, because there is so much precocious detail in her drawings.

I have the stitch markers in my room, but I haven't had a chance to use them yet, because I am knitting a garter stitch scarf with homemade #13 dpns. Its a fatty. I'm using some Scandia type yarn I recycled from a sweater.
