Who Won?

Not the presidential election; we all know that by now, I guess.
No, I'm on about the Cold Season Giveaway my Mum and I hosted here a few days ago.

The drawing was yesterday at lunch time and took place under supervision of my Dad at my parents' place :-)

As we've done in our previous giveaway, all the names were put into my Mum's sun hat:

And then she drew one piece of paper...

...unfolded it...

 ...and the name on it was...

...FRANCES!!!

Here's to you, Frances - congratulations!

We had this smiling cake and clinked our glasses of pumpkin sparkling wine for you.

Now, to claim your prize, all you have to do is go to my Mum's Etsy Shop (you should be able to get there simply by clicking on it in the top left corner of my blog) and make your choice. Once you know which item you want, just go through the normal purchase process - with the exception that you don't have to make a payment, but so that my Mum has your address for shipping.
If you can't find anything you want, let us know what colour, pattern, shape or size you'd like, and my Mum will knit something specifically to match your request.
In case something doesn't work with the purchase process (you know - the wonders of modern technology...), just get in touch with me by email (the address is on my profile).

This, by the way, is true for all of you - if you were not lucky this time with the giveaway, you can still get one or more of the pairs of socks, hats, beanies etc. my Mum makes, either for yourselves or as a present - she will be happy to welcome new customers :-)

  1. Yes yes yes yes YES! I NEVER win things, so this is just great. Thank you so much, Meike and Meike's mum! I shall choose my prize a bit later if I may.

    (PS When I first saw the pic, I thought it was one of your recipes. A bowl of watercress soup, perhaps?)

    1. You are most welcome, Frances :-)
      He he, I had to laugh at the "watercress soup"! It would have tasted a bit... dry, I'm afraid ;-)

  6. Meike, I got a bit muddled on your mum's website (all my fault), but as my prize would love the Van Gogh socks if she does them in adult sizes? They're beautiful! I'm a size 8 , which is pretty big. So sorry about this. I think she's incredibly lever. Knitting socks is advanced stuff. Many thanks again.

    1. I'll talk to my Mum about the Van Gogh socks; she'll knit them in any size, as long as she can find the right yarn :-)
