I entered a blog contest that Joan was having at the Fairy Godknitter a while back and the package I received far exceeded any hopes I might have had about what I won. I didn't do anything to win except post a comment and, of course, be a lucky random winner. The prizes! WOW!
We'll start with Dream in Color Baby - 700 yds of lace weight Pansy Go Lightly. I have no idea yet what this will become, but I am sure that in time it will tell me.
Next we have a cone of Zephyr in Aegean Blue . I have no idea what yardage this cone holds, but it is 329 grams, and I know that's at least enough to make one very large (circular or square) shawl or two "regular" shawls. I can't wait to sit with my lace patterns and browse. My SIL might just get something knitted with this yarn - she will look stunning in this color.

Next on stage we have 900 yds of Yarn Place Graceful lace yarn. I am very anxious to see how the colors develop as I knit with this one.
This yarns feels yummy - it is Piece of Vermont. Merino, bamboo and nylon in the Forest Light colorway. This may well become a gift for my mother. She'll love it.
And last but not least is 1375 yds of Skacel merino lace and a soft green with a hint of blue in it. This might well become the Peacock Feathers Shawl Predictable, I know, considering the color, but I like it.
Joan, thank you again for the wonderful prizes. I was finally able to take daylight photos to show the colors properly. I will enjoy every one of them. Until I knit with them, they sit in my living room so I can look and pet whenever I want. LOL
