The final winner in the Red Scarf Drawing is Anne Hanson, who wins the Rowan Magpie Tweed. I'm going to be sad to see this go out the door:
...but it's going to a most worthy winner. Anne has been hugely generous to our cause, donating both prizes for winners and money to the fund on multiple occasions. I'm so thankful for Anne and for all of you.
We raised a total of $2,885 from 87 donors*. Well done, everyone!
*That's the total of donations reported to us. The OFA reports to me that the total raised through our efforts in the month of October was more than double that, but some donors chose to remain anonymous and not enter for prizes. Go us!
Congratulations to Anne!

That's fantastic! About the money, I mean. It's not so fantastic that I didn't win anything. :-(

So, I'm curious....are you going to send along a little swatch of the Rowan Magpie with that prize to Anne.....hmmmm?

I'm weeping over that Magpie, but you are right. No one deserves it more ('cept maybe you or me) and it will become something beautiful. Do you think we can all get together and petition those ninnies at Rowan to bring the stuff BACK for you-know-what's-sake?! Would we love it as much if we had a lot of it? (I've got five skeins left, nya, nya!)

I'm glad the totals reflect those of us that already have enough yarn (blasphemy, I know! hehe) and don't enter the "contest". It's such a worthy cause and so lucky to have you as it's champion Norma :)
