Hi congratulations!!!!!!! never known anyone win prizes from mags before, always thought it went to some- one- in -the -know. perhaps its your lucky week, i would do an extra line on the lotto as well.
Treat yourself to a nice wool something special that perhaps you have seen and thought was too expensive.

Hey, well done! Enjoy it, whatever you decide on. My mum once won money in a magazine comp and put it towards a holiday she wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford. Then every time she thought of that hol, it reminded her of her good luck, so she was cheered up for so much longer than you'd imagine.

Well Done

We have noticed that lots of magazines have quite a few comps now - We have had a look at advertising in lets Knit and they seem to have loads. You don't even need to get the mag as you can apply online. They also have a fairly busy forum - not that we want you to defect but there must be time for both

Even we are getting in on the act. We have just been told by our Sirdar Rep about the new Click Aran. As a promotion they are giving retailers a garment made from it for displaying in their shop. Not much use to us

So we have been given permission by Sirdar to give it away as a prize

Still got to look into the legalities - that will give me something to do when I get back off holiday

Congratulations! Make sure you get something for yourself, not to make something to give away, that way you will get to enjoy your prize for so much longer

Well done.

I agree that you should think of getting something really special that you would have thought too expensive or something.

Let us know what you get.

Thanks everyone!

This is the first competition I've won, so I'm delighted!!

I'm being drawn to sock yarn, as I've never knit socks before, or maybe I could try some lace knitting???

hi
did we ever find out what you decided to get when you won that competition was it sock wool?

I have just got my wool this week
