And The Winner Is...

First of all, I want to thank all of you for letting me keep my faith in the kindness and generosity of knitters/crocheters - I received 78 hats for this effort! Wow! Add in the 9 I made and I'll be sending 87 hats to Julie to take to Haiti. She's promised me she'll send pictures of the happy recipients and I'll be sure to post them here as I get them. This was an amazing experience where I "met" new people, knit more hats in a month than I have in 10 years, and had an over-flowing mailbox with packages from all over the U.S. So to do this properly I had to put all the names in a hat - right?! Then I recruited Miss America to mix them up really well - notice her young, unblemished hand? Oh, to be young again - but I digress... I had to laugh and smile at the name she pulled out - this person knit 10 hats but told me she didn't need to be in the contest. I convinced her she should and put her name "in the hat". The winner is... BETH! Congratulations! Beth, leave a comment or email me with your choice of either a Knit Picks or Webs gift certificate. Thank you again all of you amazing women - you are the best!
