The last official week of the KAL. Wow.
It's been a great couple of months. I've gotten to know a whole bunch of some of the most generous souls on the planet. We've seen great colors, great sock styles, and some incredibly clever uses of leftovers! You've sent socks, notes, sweets, and all manner of things to a young girl you've never met -- just to make her feel a smidge better when her world's taken a really screwed up turn.
And it's worked, in its own way. Maggie's had her ups and downs medically during these last weeks, but her feet are warm and her heart is full. She sends her sincerest thanks and I'm adding mine as well.
some business:
Our last weekly drawing winner is:
Goodies on the way this week. I'm headed to the post office under a heavy load, but it's all worth it. Another box is headed north with socks from Kellie, Sherry, and Heather. Thank you, ladies! Lovely work!
Total completed pairs sent to Maggie (as of today, December 1): 22! Twenty-two. That's more knitted socks than some of us *coughmecough* can finish in a couple years! Whoever suggested that we were going to bury the poor girl in socks wasn't too far off, that's for sure.
I've gotten updates from several of you for pairs in progress -- that's excellent. Take your time. They'll still be loved, worn, and enjoyed beyond all expectations.
ahem.
Oh, you'd thought I'd forgotten, did you? Heh, heh… me hyping this grand prize drawing of mine and all. No, I hadn't forgotten. I'm just not doing it today. Lots of goodies: yummy yarns, neato gadgets, etc. Check back on Wednesday evening, December 5 (US EST).
