Hi, Knitters,

Well, the end of the double knitalongs have come to an end. One of the knitalongs was for my Ebb Cowl, published in the Quince & Co. Scarves 2013 eBook, and the second knitalong was for completing any of the scarves in the Quince & Co. Scarves 2013 eBook. Both knitalong threads in the Itty-Bitty Knits group were thriving, successful and fun.

Thank you to everyone who participated and posted their beautiful finished objects in the threads. Click here to see the finished Ebb Cowls from the KAL. I also need to thank the generous donations for the prizes for drawings for both knitalong threads. Thank you to all who have donated. I appreciate you so much.

I have yarn from some of my old favorites, a new dyer to me, and Diane, of the Knitabulls Podcast (another favorite), has generously donated an eBook on Ravelry as a prize for the Quince & Co. Scarves thread! Thank you, Diane! 

The winner of the eBook donated by Diane is..... KiwiKnitter63 (rav id)!! Congratulations to you!

Diane is also hosting a Susan B. Anderson Toy Knitalong in her Ravelry group for the month of May. You can join in this knitalong at any time and you can make any of my toy patterns from books or downloads. Diane is making the Seamless Petticoat Dolls in Quince & Co. Lark from Topsy-Turvy Inside Out Knit Toys as her project. I have been popping into the KAL thread on her group of the same name. Thanks for hosting, Diane, and I can't wait to see the newly knit toys popping up over there!

I have already drawn the winners of the prizes using a random number generator and the entries on the finished object threads. The winners have all been sent a private message through Ravelry at this point. 

Below are the other items people have won! Please hop over to the various sites and check out all these generous folks have to offer.
