We have a winner!

Last week I posted about the decision to purchase a coat. You can read about it here. After making my decision on which coat I thought would be the best canvas for my wares, I ran a contest. The winner was Melissa! She correctly guessed that my coat choice was this one <------- the DKNY Fluted Sleeve Wool Blend in the color "Brindle"!

Congratulations Melissa! She won $5 off of anything in my Yarn Obsession Etsy Shop!

If you guessed correctly, I'm sorry the random numbers didn't fall in your favor, but that means you are paying attention. If you guessed incorrectly, there will be other opportunities so stay tuned. Thank you to everyone who participated!

I hope to have an image of the actual coat, that I received late last week, which is so wonderful. . . very soon!

Crochet Coat

Crochet Today has this really cute sweater coat that you can crochet yourself. I think it's really cute and would love to make it.

Once I get past some of my end-of-year shows and I can strategize my time, I'll have a whole list of items to make. . . oh, wait, then there'll be my own patterns to create and make then the show season will begin again.

Will it be that I can only admire from a distantce? Oh, where are the hours I need?

I love this slouchy coat. It's probably not the one I would wear everyday, but it is the one I would choose to wear for those special occaisions where you don't have to worry about what your carrying. Where you can wrap yourself up and feel sexy underneath because your dress is flimsy and soft against your skin.

I'd love this coat for those occaisions. . . I think if I give myself enough time and space, I can create something like this in big bulky soft yarn. Something that will be a prize to anyone who owns it, because it is so rare to see. . . yes, folks, the wheels in my mind are turning.
