Five and Six have arrived!

The mailman met us in the driveway, I swapped a bill for boxes.

Box five had no markings, I checked the team listings to find out that it belongs to the Fast Track Knitters!

Yay!

My Alabama neighbor, Lila, knit the final leg for her team! The dish cloth turned out so well in stripes that Captain Lisa will flip for it. Many thanks, Lila!

Every Fast Track Knitter included a post card from their state! I have included them in the contents picture. This is because I learn from my mistakes: the Wicked Sticks sent postcards. I tried to get a great picture but this was the best I could do:

In the chair is my new policy!

The sixth team to finish the race did so in spite of illness and an 11th hour Alternate! Truly a remarkable finish for

The Knitty Gritty!

Edith, perhaps the hero of Son of Dish Rag Tag, packed a great box for us to open!

Ellie played with the suckers all afternoon – don’t tell they’re candy.

Thank you so much, Edith! Captain Cheryl will fall in love with her dish cloth. I always think: TOO PRETTY FOR DISHES when I open these boxes. The Knitty Gritty included one more thoughtful touch:

Plus a swirly purple button and tea! Great idea!

Many thanks to both teams! And congratulations on completing the race!

I hope to get the “Race Complete” blog buttons and the prizes together and in the mail by this weekend. But no promises, it took me all day just to write this post!
