Okay, so it is just one contest that I won, not plural, and I’ve only begun working on the first dragon, but hey. I like my title. Leave it alone! I have actually put off this post until I took the time to have photos ready for it, hooray.

So onto the story of the contest, a few weeks ago Bea posted in her blog about a contest over on Knit Me To The End Of Time for her blogiversary, and I thought why not? And entered. I was one of three winners. Hooray! So since she didn’t post the prize on her blog as some bloggers do, I got to wait until it arrived to even see WHAT I won. All I knew was it would be good, because after all it was going to be a knitting related prize. And it was even better than I could have hoped! Blue wool! Magic stripes! SMARTIES!! (oh I am SO pregnant getting excited over chocolate like that) and yummy smelling soap. Lovelovelove. Here is your obligatory photo:

Now, as for the dragons, did I mention the dragon knitting that is going on? I decided one item in each easter basket would be a handknit toy, because I don’t do enough of that. So the boys are getting dragons knit from scraps of cotton, not in the crayon (double knitting in crayon does not sound fun) & the girl is hopefully getting a felted horse, I am quite frustrated with the pattern & set it aside in favor of dragons until I am ready to tackle it again - the critter queen can expect an email or questions from me soon! I would love to tell you that the photo you are about to see is the most up-to-date dragon pieces photo, but that would be a lie as there was knitting during Survivor tonight and the belly is now finished, while the back has been started on. This is dragon one, he will be yellow & red.

I think I’ll end this with some sweetness, here is ms. A sitting in her new underbed storage box, the lid opens halfway so it is half under the bed, it contains her "dress up" stuff - plastic disney shoes & cinderella dress & playsilks & hats. That rainbow hat she is wearing is one of the first few I knit, I bound off too early and then went back and picked up stitches without knowing whattheheck I was doing, it ended up too tight. It looked funny on the boys. No one ever wore it but it hung around for years now. And here it is, in a dress up box. I like this.
