Who Gets the Yarn?

The votes are in! Great Gran has drawn a winner! Tune in tomorrow to see who won the coveted Lorna’s Laces.

By way of a Complex Point System that took into account creativity, humor and desperation, M has narrowed the field in the essay portion of this contest.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Three Finalists!

Liesl:
Vera is calling.
I can’t say no; already
she has ruined me.

Lorraine:
I’ve never even touched the fabled Shepherd Sock, and grow green with envy watching the world knit its wooly goodness.

Rachel:
Lorna’s Laces should be free because: Air, water, and all the OTHER things absolutely necessary for survival are free.

    Very cool! I hope the candidate I voted for wins since she has requested one of my fave colorways. Yay for a very cool contest Em!

    Liesl, you won’t be surprised to know I voted for myself, but I wanted to tell you that you have may favorite girl’s name ever. Not that that’s remotely related to the matter at hand. 🙂

    Definitely Rachel. Not so much because her essay was superior, but that she gave voice to the true sock yarn addicts creed!

    What sock knitter isn’t an addict? heh I wish we could eat and breathe sock yarn – oh how heavenly. I picked Liesl. “already she has ruined me.” heh oh the lust.

    Wow! I never win anything! Considering how good all the other entries were, I’m amazed to even be picked as a finalist. Thanks, M!

    What a nice contest ye’ve set up here Emily!
    I voted for “rachel” though I HAD hoped my essay would get a chance too 🙂 Guess not with all those brilliant entries 🙂

    This is so fun! I feel like part of a real community with this poll and the insuing discussion/comments here, silly as that may seem. Thanks for letting me be part of it all. And thanks for the name compliment, Lorraine. Rachel, I think your entry captured the true obsessive nature of knitting. In fact, I was inspired to write another haiku last night (ok, maybe it was just the caffeine keeping me up):

    If yarn grew on trees,
    I would nest in their branches:
    the first knitting bird.

    Cheers!
