DRT: Unexpected Finish

It’s the craziest thing. Our mail comes around 11:00am. Yesterday, I didn’t manage to get to the mail box until 1:30pm. I had mail. But no Dish Rag Tag boxes.

This morning we went to put the cards in the mailbox and found this:

Hi, Rick!

So either we get mail twice a day or our mail comes at 8 in the morning.

We didn’t even have the camera. It belongs to these folks:

Look!

Congratulations, A-NINE-ILATORS!

I was so astonished, I’m writing this post before we’ve even opened the box. CONGRATULATIONS on Dish Rag Tag Glory!

More at nap time, I had to negotiate with Ellie for a lot of pipecleaners to be able to write this much.

Congratulations! Such speed! Such teamwork! You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves, and Captain Natalie must be beside herself! I take it back when I called the small flat rate boxes “flimsy.” They CAN withstand a 12 knitter journey if it’s fast enough.

I’ve got a beautiful Dish Rag from the Doggone’s last leg, Laura! Great peach yarn to start next year’s race, a post card from Marie in Michigan and a collection of stitch markers from the Doggone Dishrag Addicts that are pretty enough to hang on a necklace!

I got a few in focus!

Thanks so much to all of you! And biggest congratulations on achieving Dish Rag Glory!
