Winner of Fiber Beat CONTEST for Episode No. 22 We had a rare, out of production tote bag from Ravelry for this episode's contest. It was the Fiber Animal Parade tote and it will not be made again (at least not in this fabric and by these folks)! The winner is Antony. Congratulations to him and thanks to everyone for participating! Fiber Beat CONTEST for Episode No. 23 As a prize for this knitspot episode, Anne has offered us a $15 gift certificate to her pattern shop for one lucky listener. All you have to do to enter is answer the following question. What is YOUR favorite Knitspot pattern? As I've said, there are a LOT to peruse, over 200 designs. My favorite is one her men's designs that was also a Men's Fall Knitting Retreat donation: the Longjohn Sock: rugged, manly & stylish. A prodigious remerciement to Anne for taking time from her cocktail party to be on the Fiber Beat. Big shout out to new Fiber Beat sponsor, Entangled magazine.

- Thank you so much for having Anne on your show! It's great to have a voice to put with the face/website/patterns. Having to pick one favorite was too difficult, so I've got two: the Sprossling sweater, with it's amazing shaping built right into the stitch pattern, and the irtfa'a faroese shawl - that's my dream pattern.
