Sock Yarn Giveaway

I've recently started twittering (as opposed to wittering!) and am surprised by how much I enjoy it! I love getting @mentions, and the little yfrog thingy that pops up photos.


So to celebrate I'm having a giveaway of 100grams of sock yarn :)

The winner will receive their choice of 100g of sock yarn available in The Sock Yarn Shop

All you have to do is leave a comment with the yarn and shade of your choice before midnight (GMT) Saturday 27th March 2011 and I'll randomly pick a winner!

Please also leave a way for me to contact you... a blog link, twitter name, ravelry name etc.

International entries welcome.

p.s. I'm @SockYarnShop on twitter (I know, highly original ;) if you'd like to say hello :)

    Glad to see the link to this. I love the Regia sock yarns but can't always find them. If I'm the happy winner, I'd like Mini Mochi in Storm clouds. clairey2002 (twitter)

    One thing I love about Ravelry is the ability to learn about other knitters and yarn websites. Loved yours and the ease of navigating it. I thought I'd never be able to choose just one out of all your lovely choices till I saw the "fyberspates - Cashmere Blush." I didn't need to go any further. So gorgeous! :-)
