[jazzy snazzy game show entrance music]

Hello everyone! It's time for the contest answers and winners from last week's High Energy Knits! entry!

But first...

No but first. Make with the answers.

OK! The official answers were...

1) "Up all night (sleep all day)" is a song by the rock (and I use that term loosely) band Slaughter.

2) "From the home office in Athens, GA" refers to The Late Show with David Letterman.

3) "Killing me softly" refers to that song by Roberta Flack. (Credit was given for Lauren Hill, of course ;-))

4) "Why must you be such an angry young man" is a line from "Fooling Yourself (the Angry Young Man)" by Styx. Look out, Styx plays "I am the Walrus" when you click on that page [shudder and cringe].

All the folks who got all four had their names placed in a bag...

...and a name drawn randomly by the hubbie

And the winner is...

Lee Ann! [yeah! fanfare! falling confetti! those annoying horns! glow stix!]

Congrats! This cool Lorna's laces is coming to CA to play with you!

But Wait! There's More!!!

Barbara caught a 5th reference and I was so pleased I am sending this:

She said, "'Where's that at? What's going on there?' sounds awfully Karen-esque" from Will and Grace, and she is so right. Probably my favorite TV show. Tied with Sex and the City.

More about socks.

I have to run, as we are leaving tonight to celebrate our 10 year Wedding Anniversary. We are just going away for the weekend, but should be fun.

I leave you with some pics of sock-related goodies:

Left: My new Sockapalooza yarn. OOOOH. Somebody's gettin' lucky...
Center: Cool Sock kit from the Red Cross.
Right: My friend Alex's BEAUTIFUL socks, made with the three needle bind off instead of grafting, because she hates grafting. Turned out great!

And a super big THANK YOU! to my fluffalicious friend, who sent me THIS. Thanks so much Becky! I love it!
