June 6th marked the last day and deadline for the Vasa KAL, so I gathered all the finished entries over the weekend, and today I randomly drew two winners!

First, I drew for the two skeins of Road to China Light: congratulations, Tien! And then I drew for the issue of Extra Curricular: congratulations, Ines! I’ll be getting in touch with you both about getting your prizes to you. (Tien blogged her beautiful version here, and you can see Ines’s on Ravelry!)

I’m also hoping to do a post showcasing several of the finished Vasas, because you all made some super creative mods and I love all the different versions!

In the meantime, I’ll share my own (barely finished) Vasa! It’s not truly finished, but this is where I got to by the end of Friday night; knitting finished & seams mostly sewn, but no ends woven in at all:

I’ve now finished the seams, and I still plan to pick up stitches around the sleeves and work a few rounds of garter stitch to finish off the sleeves a little bit more nicely. The edges are curling a lot more on this one than they did on my original – perhaps a combination of the different fiber and my gauge. This one has quite a bit of positive ease, as well! I haven’t measured it for finished dimensions, but once I’ve properly finished it and thrown it through the washer and dryer, I’ll measure it, measure the gauge again, and share some real photos.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Vasalong, and if you’re still working on your Vasa, feel free to keep using the #vasalong tag! I’m still following along and I love seeing everyone’s different versions!
