Knit happenings and a giveaway...

 

Hello loves!

 

Pattern~ Mary Margaret's Lace Tam  Yarn~ Luna Grey Fiber Arts in the color Pewter

Here we meet again on another beautiful Sunday! Before I go further with my knitting ramblings, I have to say it was so wonderful reading your responses and thoughts on last weeks post. Thank you! Okay, now on to knit chat.  How did you do this week, were you able to sneak some knitting in?

 

 

I was able to get a few stitches here and there. Nothing finished, which is okay as sometimes life is busy and when it is, it can make those stolen knitting moments all the better. I must say that I felt a bit paralyzed when I caught a glimpse into my WIP basket. I could not decide what I wanted to work on.

 

 

Not helping with the distraction was a surprise early birthday gift from my dear friend Heather. She has singlehandedly provided 95% of my coveted Opal The Little Prince Series of yarns. It took great restraint not to cast on one of these lovelies, immediately.

 

 

Then another package came from my brilliant friend Jody. A "Just Because" surprise. I am telling you the fact that your friends think of you amidst their busy lives...well it makes this easy-to-cry-girl, cry. Not the pretty cry either. ;)

 

Wooly Wonka Rhiannon Sock in the color Forget-Me-Not  465 yards 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon

Then, it came to me. I have this gorgeous skein of yarn that the beyond talent dyer Anne of Wooly Wonka Fibers gave to me to gift to one lucky person...why not give someone else a chance for a great mail week. Because as you all know, I think of each and every one of you all the time.

So how about if you visit Wooly Wonka Fiber's Shop and come back her and tell me your favorite yarn in her shop. When you leave a comment make sure leave an email address when prompted (for your own protection don't put it in the email subject). This giveaway is open worldwide. The drawing will close on September 8th at midnight PST and  I will draw a winner via random number generator and announce on the blog on September 9th. Good luck!

I will leave you with a tune and wish you the best day today!

I too am ready for fall weather 🍁. But my color choose graffiti, I usually try to make socks for work to match my work clothes with a little touch of color. Happy Knitting,

I would say dragonflies. Great colorway and we have tons of them

[Floribunda]

What a tough choice! I love the idea of Nimue Sock for a shawl, and "Black Forest" caught my eye immediately. But then there's Rhiannon Sock in "Carnivale", too...

[Chris]

Rhiannon in Unicorn and Arianrhod in Ariel look amazing. Thanks!

I love Splash! It would make the most gorgeous socks.

All of Anne's yarns are beautiful. Her Aerten Socks sounds lovely with the cashmere. Chimney Sweep and Azaela are amazing, so is Macaron. Very hard to pick just one beauty. Love your blog every Sunday.

[Jane]

I am so happy that your mail this week was so thoughtful. Even in the summer, I drink a cup of hot tea in the morning. That yarn is all beautiful. Did you catch the Macaron colorway in the Aerten Sock? That is my favorite. The gradients are a close second.

[ritainalaska]

Nimue Sock in the splash colorway is my pick today. will eventually have most of the colorways … love this 50/50 yarn!

[Ramona]

There were so many lovelies on the site but I was really drawn to the Willow colorway in the Rhiannon sock section.
