Alisha Goes Around Spark Sock Giveaway!




Whew! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and festive weekend! We spent the day Saturday trimming my Father-In-Law's tree for him and I kept thinking about this beautiful skein of sock yarn that Alisha Goes Around sent in for a giveaway.

This Spark Sock is truly amazing- the warmth of wool, the softness of silk and the sparkle of sterling silver!! I think it's simply gorgeous, but we're a little "partial to the sparkle" at casa Phatfiber.

I really love Alisha's website, I check back often and am always surprised with more color and bases each time I visit. Today, we're giving away this amazing holiday-red skein of Spark Sock (400 yds!). All you need do is sit down, pour your hot beverage of choice, visit Alisha Goes Around and find something that strikes your fancy. Post about it here, so we can all go see too and wait until Friday for me to draw a winner. Be sure and leave a way for me to find you- we don't want your winnings to end up in the great give-back in January! Oh, and if you tweet/plurk/facebook/blog/ravelate this you'll be given extra entries.

Thanks so much Alisha, for sharing this beautiful sock yarn with all of us!
