Yes, you heard that right!  We have a winner!

“What was that?…a winner for what, you ask?”

Well, simply put, a winner for the year of 2010! 😀

Let me explain…

Over in the Gettin’ It Pegged! Yahoo Loom Knitter’s Chat Clique (it has to be a long name to contain all the fun, lol) we have a yearly tradition.  We have several ways to participate in loomy contests throughout the year, and then when we get to the end-of -the-year-beginning-of-the-new, we have a few games, maybe a loom along, and then we have some prize drawings for all those folks who have participated in all the above things throughout the year.  Pretty cool, huh?

Well, this year we’ve had a few different ways to win things:

Loom Knitting Skills Checklist: We’ve been working on compiling a database that has all kinds of loom knitting skills with the links to where these how-to’s are found, and/or the best example of that skill in a book.  This is a terrific resource for all loomers out there, and for us as a group, it’s an ongoing project to pin down all those cool techniques. 🙂  Each instance of participation has earned that loomer an entry into the drawing.

Loomy To-Do Progress List: This is a place for listing all those projects that we have hanging around on our looms and just can’t find their way to being completed…yes, UFOs! (Un-Finished Objects)  For each UFO that was completed during 2010, the loomer receives an entry into the drawing.

Countdown to Christmas at the Clique 2010: This is where we get to plan our loom knitting projects that we intend for holiday gifts.  It helps to see them all in one place, organized and easily refreshed with our progress.  For each completed gift in 2010, the loomer received a drawing entry.

Group Games: We’ve played a few games in the group, such as finding and linking to the picture in the group that has provided the most inspiration to them personally…and group activities such as filling in their profile, birthday and people map, to help us get to know one another a little bit better. 🙂

Loom Along: The Loom Along to usher in the new year has been the Loom Knit Oven Mitt!   This has been keeping us very busy indeed, and  each person   who   turns in a completed picture of their Oven Mitts to my email: Bethany@Gettinitpegged.com will receive an entry into another drawing! 😀 I’d love to feature them here at the blog and on the Clique Pics page as well.  If you haven’t started your mitts yet, no worries, as we’ll be working on them through the month of January….so come on and join in on the fun!  🙂

So, without further ado, I’d love to announce the winner for the participation in the Loom Knitting Skills Checklist:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Stasia Renfrow!

This is rather perfect, because the whole thing for the checklist was really Stasia’s idea, lol.  I’m so glad that the random numbers generator knew what it was doing! 😉  To visit her new website just click on her name above… she’s beginning to compile all kinds of great information about loom knitting all in one place… be sure to check on her progress now and then, because I think it’s going to be a wonderful resource!

As we decided long ago when we started compiling the database, the winning person would receive this 2 Cool 4 Stix Tote!  Congratulations Stasia! 😀

(Sadly, this isn’t the best photo of this bag… it definitely does not do it justice.  The bag is so cute and fresh, and I LOVE the fun green and teal combo and little belt loop ribbons!  I hope you enjoy it Stasia! 🙂 )

I’ll be back very soon with more prize announcements to make… yep, there’s more goodies to be handing out for all those other categories!

Until then…have a wonderful  rest of the week!
