The winner is actually me. I am the winner for having such creative customers! Yay! I get the one of a kind skein of yarn!
Good night.
I am such an endless tease. I can’t help it. I was born teasing people. I can’t turn it off, I’ve tried. Well, I can turn it off when needed, but it makes me froth at the mouth slightly.
I’m going to start with the honorable mentions in the Name That Stocking contest. The honorable mentions will each get a $5 gift code to use on whatever they like in our store. 
Honorable Mention #1: Adopt a Skein. I love the ideas of all of these parentless yarn babies needing homes. Deb, I’m going to send you a gift code! Great idea!
Honorable Mention #2: Instock and Ready to Rock. Kristin, I love the way this trips off the tongue. It’s really fun to say: try it. I’m sending you a gift code too!
And now for the winners. I combined two ideas to come up with something I am tickled with. I really liked Jennifer and Victoria’s suggestions and decided on:
Carpe Yarnem: Seize the Dye
I’m excited! Great ideas, Jennifer and Victoria! Since I have two skeins from this batch, I will send one to each of you! I will also keep using exclamation marks! They convey emotion!
We will have our first Carpe Yarnem stocking soon. I will announce it ahead of time so you will be able to program the alarm on your cell phone.
Now, I’m going to get all motherly and lecture y’all for just a moment. I don’t want these stockings to turn into a competition and have everyone arrive with their claws out, hissing at each other.
Don’t make me turn these stockings around. I will then be left with no choice but to be creative all by my own self, and I’ll keep all the yarn for me. OK? OK?
OK.
Carpe Yarnem! Seize the Dye! Coming Soon! Exclamation Point!

Yay! What an awesome choice. Maybe to reduce the claws and hissing you can send all of the Woodlands (the colorway from the contest post) to me and I can divy it up. (Arlin gets first dibs after me, then Jen LOL!!!)
