Counting Sheep Farm Sock Yarn Giveaway


Check out all the new My8KidsMom hand dyed goodies at The Counting Sheep Farm shop! Yes, Yes, I know it's 100 degrees outside right now (up here in the northern hemisphere anyway!) but Fall is officially only 50 days away! Think hay rides, apple picking and scrumptious handknits. You can't wear 'em if you don't start 'em!! Now is the time, folks! Get those needles clacking!

We're giving away this beautiful set of two 50g skeins of My8KidsMom superwash sock yarn. Look, now you can do two socks at a time on one big circular needle and you won't have to measure out the yarn! Just visit Counting Sheep Farm, find something you love, and come back here and let us know about it! Remember to use twitter, facebook, plurk, ravelry, your blog to help spread the word- while you're at it- let everyone know they have only 50 days til Autumn!

  27. I've been a fan of the Hand Dyed Worsted Weight in Desert Bloom ever since I received a sample of it in June. It's SUCH a beautiful colorway, I wish she would do it in a lighter weight though, I think it'd make an awesome pair of socks!

    ReplyDelete

  60. Do I have to pick just one?
    The City of Embers is exquisite. I love the barest hint of black that it has, and the gorgeous sheen.

    Starry Night is my other fave. The cool grays with that bright pop of yellow is to die for!
