The winners of the drawing this year are Nisha Martin, Citabria Shipman, and Sandi Baxter. Since all three are knitters, it was easy to pick yarns. I have pulled three from the shop and first come, gets first pick. I have sent them emails to let them know that they have won. I will also be sending a general email to all those who entered. I have to type in all of those addresses, and I am slow, so it might take a day or two!
