Rosemary
generously gave some prizes to her Toque, Yo! test knitters and I got a Designs by Romi penannular pin [grin]. A heart, of course, because that's her signature design (pictured on an old gauge swatch). I love how it's not just for lace shawls, although it sure does make me think of making myself Muir. Thank you, Rosemary, I enjoyed test knitting and now can wear my heart on my sleeve, literally.Last week I knit up some fingerless mitts from the Patons Soy Wool Stripes that Julie in Texas sent as part of a swap. It's colorway 70530 Natural Geranium. As with the last pair, these are sororal twins. Thanks again, Julie, these are perfect for when I get pinky on the brain, which has been known to happen.
And here's three happy links:

Your pinky mitts are very pretty and I like the design of the heart pin.
Thanks for the heads up on the Knitty contest! I'm in contest mode and am feeling lucky today!
Nice prize pin & soy mitts. Thanks for the links to the contests. I can't believe SOS time is here again. Wow, time flies.
