WINNERS!
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 10:53AM
I'll be updating this post with the winners as they're drawn.We had 1712 entrants before 4:30am Eastern, and I'll be dividing them up into 20 groups. I will draw a winner from each group, and then have a separate drawing to determine which skein they won. Then I'll have one final drawing from all entrants for the $150 gift certificate. Good luck! I wish I could give everyone a prize. I loved reading your comments. :)The entrants will be divided into 20 groups, and one winner from each group will be drawn. ******BEAR WITH ME, I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE POST NUMBERS CORRECTLY CORRESPOND TO THE GROUPS!*********STILL WORKING. THERE'S A REASON I'M A YARNISTA AND NOT A MATHEMETICIAN. I WANT TO BE FAIR TO EVERYONE!*****
OK, this is taking me forever. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to divide the groups into four and draw five winners from each group, and then one winner from overall. Thank you for bearing with my change in plans!
Group 1: Numbers 1-427
Group 2: Numbers 428 - 856
Group 3: Numbers 857 - 1283
Group 4: Numbers 1284-1712
