On Wednesday night we had the Inside Loop Launch Party and drew the names out of the (knitted cashmere) hat to see who the lucky winners were of the Launch Prize Draw.

The very lucky winner of the first prize is Mia. The Bannf Sweater kit goes to a very excited Nikki and the Artesano Hummingbird sock kit to Lois .

The Trondra scarf kit has yet to be claimed by the winner, despite us emailing her twice. So if your name is Isobel R, please check your mail and spam folder and email us back!

We hope you enjoy the first issue!

As we mentioned in our last group email, we have decided to give out more than one prize. So as well as one main prize, there are three smaller ones. They’re all absolutely gorgeous and it’s going to be hard to part with them. For a while it was like having a giant sized stash in my spare room!

So the three smaller prizes are:

A gorgeous sock kit…

…the Bannf Sweater kit…

… and the Trondra scarf kit. And a drumroll for the main prize for one incredibly lucky person:

The prize includes a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy, ten balls of Tess Dawson Merino 4ply and Cherry Tree Hill Laceweight, and of course much more! Definitely enough yarn to keep even the most prolific crafter busy for a while!

The Yahoo Group will now close to new members from Friday til next Wednesday, to give us enough time to print off all the names to be entered into the draw.

And the next blog post will probably be to say that the first issue is up. Very scary!
