I love almost everything about Dish Rag Tag. I really do.
But my favorite part is shopping for prizes. There are so many possibilities. So many different ways to go. So many great sellers on Etsy… The generosity of all of the DRT participants and the kindness of the handmade community combined to create an amazing selection of prizes for our top three teams!
This year’s prize pool began with an offer I wasn’t about to refuse: One Red Loop made Son of Dish Rag Tag stitch markers for the top three teams!
Gold, Silver and Bronze loops!
Well, with this kind of beginning, there was no going back. All the prizes this year feature Etsy sellers!
For Third Place, I’ve added matching Knitting Notion bags from Chicken Britches:
I’ve got one this size that holds all my stitch markers!
Here’s a detail of the bead and lining – the colors match this year’s logo (and the markers) perfectly!
I love the beads.
For the Second Place Team, I came across pocket sized stitch gauges by KaratStix. The hole in the corner was begging for a key ring so I couldn’t help but add a tiny Starbucks gift card.
Caffeine makes getting gauge so much easier.
Wait – look at the back:
Yay!
And for First Place. I’ve had this one in the house the longest and I have really loved getting it out every now and then to look at it. For First Place…
from RubySapphire Yarns (my love of Lauri and Sam is no secret)
custom dyed Son of Dish Rag Tag sock yarn!
To match the logo!
The name of the colorway?
Of course.
But who will achieve the coveted Dish Rag Tag Glory? We might know as early as tomorrow – I expect a photo finish.
Emily, the prizes are all beautiful! I am very anxious to see what appears in your mailbox tomorrow. Go, Needling Ninjas, Go! 🙂

Emily,
You have done a great job with the race and all of the prizes are beautiful. What a fun race and here’s hoping that Yarnia finishes strong!
How fun!! You really do outdo yourself every year! Wish we would come in up top!
The prizes are amazing. Thanks to all that donated and congratulations to the winners.
AWESOME! What great prizes.
Emaily, you rule the school! The prizes are getting cooler every year, and having them all be Etsy is a great idea – handmade for handmakers.
I hear several boxes are out for delivery today, it’s a real squeaker!
