After two counts – I wanted to be accurate after such an amazing outpouring by you all! – I have found the final yardage for the scraptacular yarny ball!
1973.3 yards ( +/- 1″)
So, that means that the winners of this contest are:
- Mary at Tactless Wonder with her guess of 1974
- Nadine at Balkan Style with her guess of 1975
Thank you so much for playing and for leaving so many wonderful and heartfelt comments! You all are amazing 
I really liked ever green knits suggestion about a little retrospective of posts from previous years… I am compiling a list now. As an archivist, you can imagine that I like doing such things.
…and because no post can go photo-less on my blog, here is my recently compiled mosaic of favorite photos from this past week on Flickr. I really enjoy making these and they are a real point of inspiration for me. (Click on the photo for details about the photos!)
Thanks, Lauren!! Lovely mosaic, and I’m already looking forward to the retrospective posts. Cheers!
I love your photo mosaics—and is that Andrew Bird I spy?? Lovely.
Were you at sock summit in Portland? If so it would have been nice to have met you. I had a great time at sock summit it was awesome!
