Judges' scores
All along, it was really between Pebble Beach and Sundew for me. Limpet and Selkie were last minute entries, so it was fun for me to see how Sundew, that started way behind, pulled ahead to tie with Pebble Beach in the end. Here are the final results:
I was awake from 4-6am on Sunday morning considering my options and thinking about knitting in general and finally decided that regardless of the polls, the winner is SUNDEW! And hey! The14 of you who said I shouldn't be ordering it - what's up with that?! I thought you all were supposed to enable my yarn habit. Isn't that what blogging is for? I'll assume that many of you were family members and the rest of you are just concerned about me and my financial and mental well-being. Thanks for your concern. I'm ordering it anyway.

I, too, was burned after the fact by the raunchy ads that display on blogpoll's poll results page. Someone told me that freepolls.com doesn't have that problem, but I haven't tried them yet. I tried several different poll sites and so many (as you, too, probably discovered) are just a giant pain to use, not to mention all the ugly ads and things.
I read this too late to vote, but would have voted for Limpet, as I tend to like anything that is remotely blue. (Purple is close enough).
Tadpole is ADORABLE! Just want to kiss her yummy little face! :-)

I can personally attest to the georgeousness that is Pebble Beach because I gave in about two weeks ago. What a joy to receive that package with the customs certification on it. I have skeins of it hanging about just so I might wallow in it.

Hi, new to your blog, but I can vouch that Sundew is beautiful; there's some of it in the Suzani wrap I'm knitting and I always get very happy when I come up to a "Sundew section."
And of course you should buy more yarn. It's karmic balance. After all, it's thanks to you that I bought some Karabella Tweed today to make your new design from Interweave!! (Glorious! Really!)

I know what you were doing at 4-6am. It still takes that long?!!!! And HURRAY to your email. I still cannot type and feed, and she's been driving me NUTS the last five days. Good thing she's so adorable.
