It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the end of the Journey-along, but that doesn't mean it's the end of knitting projects from Journey - for me at least. I really wanted to knit all 6 projects and that was my goal, but I came close and with Antrorse being the only project left to knit (and it will be knit). Even so... I managed to finish what I feel is a respectable number of Journey projects and I'd like to wrap things up with all Journey WIP's in FO status. That being said, today and tomorrow I'll try to get my 3rd pair of Climb's off the needles and with ~5" to go on the cuff, I'm optimistic.

But this post isn't about me... it's about the lovely knitters that have spent the last 10+ months knitting along with me. A very warm thank you for joining me in this knitting fun - it wouldn't have been the same or nearly as fun without you. For the knitters that came along on this 'journey', I will be drawing 2 names for 2 really wonderful prizes.

It's no secret that I have a huge crush on Blue Sky Alpacas - they are wonderful to work with and I love each and every one of their yarns. I've stocked Blue Sky Alpacas at Firefly Fibers since we opened and we now carry just about every yarn in the line. The first prize is their newest yarn, Extra...

One Journey-along'er will receive one skein of Extra (55% baby alpaca | 45% fine merino) and a Pretty Cheep project bag! Since the arrival of Extra last spring, there's been one Journey project that is a perfect fit for this yarn, Spate by Jane Richmond...

A Journey-along'er read my mind and knit up Spate in Extra and they are divine! I hope to knit up a pair for myself in the near future. Cross your fingers for me.

The second prize is Blue Sky Alpacas Sport Weight - this yarn is a staple and the very first Blue Sky Alpacas yarn we brought into the shop...

One Journey-along'er will receive 2 skeins of Sport Weight (100% baby alpaca) and a Pretty Cheep project bag! This yarn has made it to my needles twice for Swift by Shannon Cook...

Yes, I loved this yarn/pattern combination so much that I actually knit it twice and I'm sure it will find it's way to my needles again.

The Journey-along wraps up tomorrow and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did - don't forget to post your FO photos on Ravelry (tag with #journeyalong) and I'll get my final projects uploaded for you, too. I'll be back in the near future with a wrap-up post and to announce the two Journey-along'ers for our final giveaway. Stay tuned....

Which Journey project was your favorite?
