Sockburning winners!

Earlier this month I emailed the three winners of the sockburning contest through their Flickr mail. Since then Jenny has brought it to my attention that Flickr mail does not automatically forward to your regular mail. This means that I have only connected one winner, Hannah of the Purloined Letter, with her prize, sock goodness from listener Minh. I am still looking for: Solslett, winner of Favorite Socks and Nancy November, winner of handspun goodness from the wheel of SockPron Aija. If you are out there, drop me a line!

Thanks and congratulations!
