Look what’s coming – those cute Namaste Hip Holsters in bright new colors! We will get these sometime in December, but we’re taking pre-orders on them right now. This style bag retails for $45, and will now be available in Red, Peacock, Lime, Eggplant, and Pink (in addition to the nylon Black and Peacock versions, which retail for $39). These are made in Namaste’s vegan, buttery soft non-leather material that you have come to love in their other bags. Not only is this bag great for your latest sock in progress, but we’ve also seen people using them for purses and camera bags.

Size: 8″ high and 6″ long, with 3″ wide at the base, 2″ wide at the top.
Details: gun metal hardware, with a big open space on the inside and a smaller pocket (for your cell phone or your knitting accessories) on the front. Included are a belt attachment and a should strap option.

Let us know if you’d like to pre-order one! (support@theloopyewe.com)

I also want to announce some contest winners. First of all, thanks to everyone who participated in our Third Quarter Challenge, which was to make something out of our Loopy Ewe Solid Series line of yarn. You can all of the entries here. Congratulations to Pamela who wins our Reader’s Choice award (and a Loopy Ewe Gift Certificate) for her adorable Whale of a Hat! And congratulations to Molly who wins the random drawing from all entries (and a Loopy Ewe Gift Certificate), for her Lost Throw. I hope you all will keep sharing your Loopy Ewe Solids projects with us. I love seeing the colors you’re combining and the projects you’re completing!

We also have winners from our October Blog Contest, which asked about the things that distract you from work. There were more entries for “computers, the internet, blogs, Ravelry, and The Loopy Ewe” than anything, and I can totally understand that! (Same here.) Congratulations to Leah in Australia and Andrea in CT, who won the random drawing from all of the comments, and have each received a $25 Loopy Ewe Gift Certificate for their win.
