just in case you don't feel like watching the video, the winner is...
commenter #5, allison!

for the record, allison's comment was thus:

"I’d love to win this book because I can crochet a little - but really only single-crochet and double-crochet, and I’ve only made squares! I’d like to try some more interesting projects. And my wardrobe really needs updating."

congratulations, allison!
and thanks to everyone who entered the contest, i loved all your comments and i am sure linda did as well!
