Puns and Pagewood.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Loops Pun Contest. This was so fun, we'll have to do a repeat one of these days! Plus it gave me some great headline ideas for future events!

Without further ado, let me get to the winner/s (ladies, please email me with your mailing addresses so I can send your prizes):

Q: What do you call it when you mess up your knitting when you've had too much to drink?
A: A halLOOPSination
Congratulations to Janine! You win a full bag of Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran superwash merino! This one cracked me up because I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep, sitting up and knitting (occasionally after a glass of wine, but more often due to just "knitting drowsy") and awoken to a real yarny mess.

Honorable mentions go to Jennifer for:
Q: What happened when Jennifer didn't take the time to check her gauge?
A: Her knitting was Loop-sided!

And Vanessa for:
Q: The little devil on your shoulder encouraging you to spend waaayyy too much money at Loops?
A: Loopscifer

And also to Jessica K. for the Britney pun and for sheer volume!

You three ladies will receive a Lantern Moon birthday cake tape measure...
...because it is Loops' 3-year anniversary this weekend! We will be having the Crazy 3-Hour Cashmere Sale on Friday from 1-4 (40% off ALL 100% cashmere) and some other surprises this weekend.

Here's a surprise that arrived early. It's a beautiful, new line for us called Pagewood Farm. This is Yukon, a hand-dyed merino-bamboo-nylon fingering weight that is just unbelievable. The colors, oh, the colors...







We only got 4 of each color (but 28 colors in all!) so don't wait to check 'em out. The yardage is great - 450 yards makes a generous pair of socks - and the price is excellent for hand-dyed sock yarn. Loretta is out of town but when she returns, I'm sure she will be all over getting this on our website - if there's any left!
