From the purple dyeshed...

 

I'm sorry it has been so long since Woolly Wormhead and I asked you to come up with a name for her hat which she has designed in Ripples Crafts Warm Hearted Aran yarn.  It has been a busy few weeks, and there were a couple of small delays on the finalising of the pattern, so we decided to hold off until closer to the pattern release time.

There were some wonderful suggestions!  We had to check that the names were not already being used by Woolly for another of her designs, and we also wanted a name that had not been used too often on Ravelry for other patterns.   So I sifted through all the suggestions which you made and drew up a short list of five or six names for Woolly to look at and from which she could make her choice of name.

And the winner is ........... drumroll please



Woolly selected the name "Lexie" as she likes short names for her designs, and she also liked the close connection of the name to me and to where we live.  There are no other patterns on Ravelry (that I could find!) with that spelling of Lexie, and so that suggestion became the winner.

Joanne as soon as the pattern is ready I'll arrange for you to receive a copy, and in the mean time I'll email you regarding your choice of colour for the yarn which I'll post out to you.

Thank you, again, to everyone who took part.
