I am a little biased when it comes to today's featured shop. ChickenintheWoods is based out of central Illinois, a few hours north of where I live. I have been there many times, and I think Stephanie's name and entire shop is a bit of local color brought to life on sock yarn!
I have been knitting rainbowy things all summer. I am really drawn to the bold, bright colors lately and Stephanie has several beautiful variegated choices. I feel a shift in my buying habits coming on though, as her semi solids are really gorgeous! These Chicken in the Woods yarns make me want to tackle a sock with complicated stitch patterns!
We're giving away 2 skeins of delicious merino/bamboo sock yarn (480 yds!) in a beautiful "Oceanside" colorway. Just visit Chicken in the Woods, find something you like, and post about it in the comments section below! We'll be drawing for a winner on Saturday, make sure you leave a way for us to contact you. As always, I'll count your extra tweeting, plurking, ravelating, facebooking and blogging as extra entries.
Stephanie, thank you for sharing a little bit of Central Illinois with us!
Yikes - looks like I'm first!

ReplyDeleteI really love the colorway titled "Midwestern Sunset". I don't get too much of a sunset feel from it but, to me, it reminds me of fresh clementines! Tasty, juicy, amazingly sweet, with a little bit of that white rind still on. It looks so good I could eat it! And this is really saying something, because orange isn't usually my color.
ReplyDeleteWicked is definitely my fave.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of the shop. I was immediately drawn to aubergine, but the sunset is pretty too. Oh, shoot, they're all pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe Cherry Blossom is especially cheery on this drab and rainy day.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't see a thing I didn't want. But, top on my list was the Superwash Sock in Wicked. Just love that one.
ReplyDeletelimesicle makes my mouth water! Yum!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the burning bush! pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteWicked! Love it! And Midwestern Sunset.
ReplyDeleteJen
That "Oceanside" colorway is so peaceful. It's calling my name...
ReplyDeleteI like that Oceanside colorway best, but also fell for Pepper Jack... really reminds me of the cheese, with those little flecks of red against a creamy background. Thanks for sharing this company. Off to promote your giveaway on FB, where I learned about it from Stephanie, the Wooly Daisy.
ReplyDeleteoh, the hand-dyed Wicked! What a fun color .. and name! :)
