So the winner of the contest is Kerrie! She wins two skeins of Socktopus Sokkusu yarn which is currently only available at The Loopy Ewe in the US, L’OisiveThé in Paris, and at the Knit Nation marketplace in London this weekend.

Unfortunately photos were not allowed, but the clothing certainly did not disappoint.
