The Prize:
One hank of wool, ca 100 grams from Ullcentrum. In a mixed shades of pink, purple, grey. See picture below. Ullcentrum is a Swedish yarn company based on the island of Öland. Ullcentrum buys only Swedish wool, mostly from Öland and other parts of southern Sweden. The wool is carefully sorted according to quality and characteristics. After sorting, the wool is carefully washed in a way that is not harmful to the environment.
And the winners is actually two. Since there where only 2 contesters in my quiz I decided you both are winners! Jessie and Polly are both winners! YAY! Check your e-mails, girls!
I did go down town today, but I stepped away from the busiest streets to avoid all the sales crazy pepole. I visited two of my local yarn stores. I have been thinking of shawl/stole idea the whole Christmas, and I hadn't the yarn for this idea - now I have. A beautiful green colour from Färgkraft. So I guess, my next move is using the swift..
Are you enjoying the holiday season? Do you have a lot to do before Christmas 
Eve/Day? Take a minute to relax and be apart of my Christmas Quiz. Well, there is not much "Christmas"in this quiz but a lot of music and moveis - 80s/90s music and movies.
Lately I have been looking a lot on movies from the 80s/90s and with the film you have music. Since I was a teenager between the years of 82 to 89, I have lots of memories coming back with all the music and the moveis. When you hear a special song or see a movie you remember trips, crushes, broken hearts, good or bad dates.
What to do in this quiz? Well, pair up the right song/artists with the right movie 
from the 80s and early 90s. It's not necessary a good movie or a great song, just memories.
The first opened right answer wins something knitting related. You have until December 26 CET (Central European Time) 2007, to answer. I will draw a winner the 27th.

This day started off in a good way! I got a package this morning. The delivery man knocked on my door and gave me a package! So much fun! I won a contest over at Yarn pirate last weekend, so this was my prize. One hank of hand dyed fingering merino superwash, sock yarn, in colour of Sonoma. Tasty lip balm and pirate tissues (and those I really need at the moment!). Love the yarn and I will look for a pattern to fit!
Thank you Georgia!
