...and the winner is

ME! Oh, wait. That comes later. :)

According the random number generator, Jessica Rose-Kim has won my contest! She gets to select a nickel shawl pin of her choice from my site and off it goes to her! Thank you all so much for entering! I'm having so much fun with these little contests that I'm going to keep having them. So if you didn't win this time, please keep entering!

btw, the Sneaky Sale is still on through tomorrow. That's 15% off an order of $15 or more at Designs by Romi. Enter coupon code NEWNICKEL at checkout. Patterns are excluded from the sale.

Speaking of contests, my friend Lisa Shobhana Mason had one in honor of her new pattern release, Kimberly, and I won a collection of her patterns! I love the clean lines of Kimberly. Did you know Scout photographed it? Scout and Lisa rock. :) Thank you, Lisa!

In other news, a pattern of mine is in the summer issue of Living Crafts magazine. Knit of Habu merino/stainless steel and beads, it is similar to the scarf necklaces in my book.

This yarn is so much fun to knit and crochet! I'll be talking more about that later on this week!
