And, we have a winner!
Diane L, from the Napanee area is the winner of "So You Think You Can Swatch"! She wins a $50 gift certificate from the yarn shop. Second prize goes to Lynn Y of Northbrook, and third goes to John L of Cloyne/Whitby - both of them win a $25 gift certificate.
The yarn used to knit the swatches was Stylecraft's Special Value Aran - a mix of 80% acrylic and 20% wool. The gauge specified by the manufacturer was 18 stitches and 24 rows using 5mm needles. To calculate the winner I determined there were 432 stitches in a 4 inch square, then using Microsoft Excel, I input all the row and stitch counts, then figured out the percentage. The chart of all the participants is below.
Stitching up the squares into blankets will begin shortly. Thank you to everyone who took part in this little challenge. Congratulations to all!
