I have a serious case of the Mondays. The buzz of the holidays has gone, and though I am anxious to get back to my normal routine, I have vowed changes in my life (particularly eating habits!) and so "normal" will be a little different. While I'm getting my "land legs" as my Dad ( a 30 year Navy Vet) would say, I will indulge in what I know to be good for me- fiber!
If you too, are looking to escape just a little today, visit Treasure Goddess!!! Handspun goodness, sock yarn slinkiness, and fiber smooshiness await for you to discover them.
Christine, (the yarn and fiber goddess) has a most delightful blog:
http://treausregoddesschic.blogspot.com you can follow all of her yarn and fibery adventures.
I love how she calls her talents a way to "let the crazy out".
We're giving away this beautiful skein of "Treasure Toes" sock yarn - 80% superwash merino 20% bamboo to a lucky commenter! Just visit Treasure Goddess, find something you like (psst! the same sock yarn is on SALE in her shop right now!) and comment about it here below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week and you can get extra entries by tweeting/facebooking/ravelating/blogging about how awesome Treasure Goddess is (just let us know you did it!)
Thank you Christine, for creating such awesomeness for us to sample!

The Spice Rack colorway of handspun is beautiful. I love browns but generally have a hard time buying brown yarns as they are often very one dimensional and hold all of the negative aspects of brown. Sort of boring and colorless if you will. Spice Rack, on the other hand, is so rich! I love the orange mixed in there giving the yarn another layer but not one that distracts from the original purpose. Absolutely gorgeous.

Your colors are so beautiful!
I have fallen in love with the Spicy Guacamole sock yarn in your shop, I love bright green!
love the northern lights superwash!
OMG, I LOVE sock yarn and this Treasure Toes colorway is speaking to me, although I have to admit, Northern Lights and Spicy Guacamole are both calling out my name. I think I'm about to break my first resolution :)
I love Sock yarn. I love knitting sox.
My first inclination was to comment on Pink Tuscadero
but that was before I spied Spicy Guacamole.
Looks good enough to eat ! ! !
HANDSPUN YARN Spice Rack bulky weight slightly thick and thin 2 ply bfl wool would be a great start to a hopefully Spicy year!
I love the Through the Woods roving and the Northern Lights sock yarn the best. Lots of other beauties though!
I love the SOCKYARN Northern Lights Hand Dyed Superwash BFL Wool southwest sock yarn.
Ok, the Spice Guacamole jsut made me hungry for Mexican food! Love it!

Pinky Tuscadero sock yarn would be exactly the right thing today. January, 15 degrees below zero (Celsius), just back to work after Christmas - yes, I could definitely need something like this to brighten my day.
I really like this one

I LOVE the Orange Julius 3.9 oz ROVING South African Fine Wool Combed Top. The brightness totally catches my eye and would definitly make you stand out in a crowd, i see a nice scarf made from that!
USARMYCHICK from Ravelry
I am thinking that pinky tuscadero would have been a perfect name for me in Sock Wars!! I love it!!!
I absolutely love the Spice Rack bulky handspun.... looks so squishy and warm.
If I was any good with lace, I'd have to go with 1300 yds LACE WEIGHT Silk Merino Wool hand dyed Laceweight Yarn. It just looks amazingly beautiful!
I love the Spicy Guacamole sock yarn. That would make happy feet, I am sure.
Love, love, love Spicy Guacamole sock yarn!! I can just see the tomato bits and lime zest. Makes me hungry to look, and I am on a diet. WIll have to knit instead of eating, tee hee
I like the silver peacock silk roving.
I am stuck on Orange Julius Roving how bright and happy can you get? Love it!
Mmm, Spicy Guacamole sock yarn. Just what I need on my feets this cold morning!
RT'ed as KnitwithKT!
Wow, all the sock yarn is pretty! I think I love the Pinky Tuscadero!

I loved the Northern Lights colorway of her sock yarn! Blue is my favorite.
Mmmm, maybe I'm just hungry, or I just love green, but probably both, but the Spicy Guacamole is absolutely awesome!!!!!
So of course, I also am ogling the 1300 yards of Greens 2 Laceweight...what a beautiful shawl that would make!!!!!
It's soo cold here (and we aren't exactly used to that) that I think I need more handknit socks for everyone in the house!!! I absolutely love the Northern Lights sock yarn . . . but, if she had sock yarn in the same green color as that laceweight, it would be MINE! Her giveaways are gorgeous too!
I like the Spicy Guacamole...love the greens!
Spicy guacamole and the giveaway yarn are my favorites.
The magnets are very cute! However my favorite is the Burgundy Bliss handspun. (You might want to check the spelling on "Burgundy," Christine...)
Great shop!
Oh my word, the colors on Through the words are just delicious.
I really love the hand dyed laceweight silk merino yarn. It looks amazing, and is the perfect shade of green!

TreasureGoddess Christine
Christine has some amazing yarns. I believe, in addition the offering, my fav is the handspun yarm dk/lt worsted Rombo Wool Mohair, Burgandy Bliss.
Mmmm, just finished my first pair of socks and am ready to jump into another pair (no pun intended). This would make the perfect start!
My fave is the handspun baby blue worsted. It looks so soft I want to take it to bed and cuddle with it.
I adore her 'Pinky Tuscadero' sock yarn, but I REALLY love her prices!
I think I'm in love with the Through the Woods roving!
Definitely love the Rustic Orange merino/shetland/alpaca roving. Love the color--warm & spicy, but really love that she's using local fiber :)
