And the winner is ..... Mary A. from Bloomington, Illinois! I think Mary had as much fun as I did. She was almost always the first to place an order after each new day was announced. We had a great time picking out colors and yarns to create exactly what she was looking to make, mostly for others I might add. What Mary does not know is that her grand prizes were included in her last shipment and should arrive shortly.



I did not announce what the grand prize was ahead of time, well, because I did not know. But it became apparent as the 12 Days progressed that anyone with that much yarn needs a great project bag, don't you think? So, Mary will be receiving a gigantic (about 24" by 12" by 15") limited edition tapestry bag designed by Timeless Totes specifically for knitters valued at $180.

In addition, she will be receiving a hard cover copy of one of the most adorable books that I have come across in a long time written by Debbie Macomber titled "Knit Together: Discover God's Pattern For Your Life." I am about half way through the book myself and am thoroughly enjoying it. I just could not resist making this part of the grand prize since I feel that Mary and I are "knit together" across the miles by way of our knitting and our faith. Highly recommend this one!

So, congratulations and hats off to Mary! She has a ton of knitting ready to go for 2011. Thank you to all who had fun with me and the first ever Yarn Stashio 12 Days of Christmas.

God Bless you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you back here next year with lots of new yarns, kits and surprises.
