The Great Scarf Giveaway ... gets given.

TONIGHT the Mister reached inside a bowl full of names of those who have left comments in hopes of winning a hand-knitted scarf by Yours Truly.

And, of course, I cannot say I don't now. But really, it is a fairly human desire to share the things we make. I can only wear so many scarves and it's so much fun to get something in the mail. Fun to send them also.
