UPDATE : 7th June 2012.
Sadly Noreen did not contact me. I tried several ways to reach her but i just couldnt find her. I waited 30 days for her to contact us and she never did so we decided to choose another winner to knit the buffalo shawl. I'm amazed that people enter competitions and then dont check to see if they won or not !

We chose the entry by Lise mendel, have been intouch with Lise and she will indeed be casting on within a week so we look forward to seeing her design come to life !

24th June 2012 update.......and here is the cast on by Lise.

The pattern will be posted soon and more update pictures !
