Samantha In Stitches and *Giveaway*








Samantha in Stitches Or "SIS Yarn"sent in a lovely shiny mini skein of sock yarn in her "sheen" base ( a bit of bamboo makes it so soft and shiny!) and wrote on her tag that her sock yarn is only $18! Gotta love luxury yarn for under $20!!
She loves doing custom orders, please let Samantha know if you have a special idea you'd like her to make into a yarn/fiber reality.
Samantha was so gracious to send in an absolutely wonderful giveaway package!
A 4oz braid of superwash merino roving in a lovely blue and yellow colorway that reminds me, happily of a childhood kitchen I had, a pattern for a "Barbie Scarf" and a cute flip-flop pattern holder/reader.
All you have to do to enter is visit Samantha's site and tell me what you'd love to get from her shop! Remember, tweets, plurks, forum posts, blog posts, video posts, will all get you second entries! The drawing will be held on Wednesday, so help me get the word out about Samantha's goodies!
Thank you so much Samantha, for donating to this awesome giveaway and letting us experience your beautiful yarn in February's box. We hope you'll continue to contribute to Phat Fiber!

    Oooooh - too easy, I would get the Foot Crazy yarn in Day Break. I swear, one of these days I'm going to knit some socks and this yarn would be beautiful for my first pair. :) Maybe I'll have to go do some shopping.

    I love the Sheen Superwash/Bamboo sock yarn in "Shoreline" - what beautiful browns and blues. I am also very tempted by the Anastasia shawl pattern; it is lovely.

    Awesome site - it's too hard to pick just one! But if I had to, I'd probably pick the Sheen sock yarn in the Shoreline colorway. I'm such a sucker for anything blue!

    Oh the greens! In the Foot Crazy, Swamp Thing are gorgeous! Love green! Looking for green. Can't find any green up here in N. Mich yet, but I think I remember what green used to look like!

    I was lucky enough to have gotten one of those mini skeins of the sock yarn and it was/is devine. I will be ordering some of that - especially if she dyes some in the turquoise color that the Tide Turning Turquoise Cloud Soft Luxury Yarn is in - LOVE that color. I have to check her shop thoroughly later because I need to order some worsted and I just might have her custom dye some in the turquoise for me . . .

  28. LydiaFebruary 28, 2009 at 2:40 PM

    Well after feeling the Sheen I already knew I wanted some of it... after looking at the colorways on Samantha's website I think I'd want to have Day Break (under the Footcrazy section, but I need me some bamboo blend sock yarn!). And let me say that you cannot possibly imagine how soft the Sheen is unless you have felt it...

  29. AngieFebruary 28, 2009 at 3:40 PM

    Wow... I love everything on that site! If I had to choose, I'd say that the "Shoreline" colorway in Sheen would be my favorite!
