Radioactive Rabbit Candy Corn Sock Yarn Giveaway!

Some say the world is divided into two types of people; those who eat candy corn, and those who do not. I say, there is a third unrecognized category that I believe I fall into: those who will eat candy corn with salted peanuts in small moderation. :)

Thankfully, I know there is only one type of you reading this; the type who appreciates fine yarn! Enter Radioactive Rabbit and her candy corn yarn! This is a new phattie with a beautiful bursting shop full of delectable yarns! I know you want to look- go right ahead! You'll be greeted with lots of different weights and a unique and stunning dyeing style.

While you're at Radioactive Rabbit, please take a moment and decide which listing is your favorite. Let us know in the comments section below and you'll be entered to win this beautiful skein of Candy Corn merino/nylon sock yarn. Please facebook and twitter for extra entries.

Exchanging Fire Stitch Marker Set Giveaway!

I don't think Sarah of Exchanging Fire knows it yet, but she's Shearlock and Sonata's Choice this month! They're on their way to investigate just how Exchanging Fire creates such awesomeness in small packages!

These red skull stitch markers have just the right amount of creep factor for your knitting this time of year (or any other time for that matter!) I kind of wish I had known about them earlier! Oh well, we'll be prepared next year!

Crochet by KA Warewolves vs Vampires batts!

The eternal debate continues- which are hotter, vampires or warewolves? Luckily, the winner of this particular giveaway won't have to choose at all, because they'll get both! For much better, sparklier pictures of the actual fiber, please visit CrochetbyKA :)

CrochetbyKA is full of just scrumptious fiber! I love how Kelly uses luxury fiber whenever possible! While you're there, please take a moment to decide which listing is your favorite- we'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, so don't forget to get those facebook/twitter updates done!

Breezy Ridge Alpacas Baby Suri Fiber Giveaway!

Breezy Ridge Alpacas is within a few hours drive of me- so sort of local! It's always nice to support local fiber whenever you can and so I would like to take the time to showcase this beautiful lavender heather suri alpaca that Connie has sent in for a giveaway.

One of the things I really admire about Breezy Ridge Alpacas is all of the natural colors that are available. The black alpaca is a true deep rich black black. It can be hard to find natural black without a lot of brown in it, but I was amazed when I saw the Breezy Ridge black!

To enter to win this beautiful 2.3 oz of suri alpaca fiber, please visit Breezy Ridge alpacas, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Please twitter/facebook/blog/plurk for extra entries!!

Girl Meets Spindle Cashmere Giveaway!

How frustrating for me yesterday! I didn't have internet and couldn't post this beautiful giveaway! Girl Meets Spindle is not part of the October box, but do you remember how gorgeous here "Fairy Lights" Cashmere and silk packages were last month? Amazing! I am so very excited to be giving away a full sized 1.5 oz version of her loose and dyed cashmere and tussah silk twists. This would make most excellent bats or spun on its own and plied with the silk- omg delicious!

If you haven't been to Girl Meets Spindle, what are you waiting for! This shop is so gorgeous! The colors and blends are truly amazing- I think I could find a place in my stash for any one of them :)

To be entered to win this luxurious giveaway, please visit Girl Meets Spindle today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count twitter updates, facebook/blogposts and plurk as extra entries!

Funhouse Fibers Fibery giveaway!

We've got a lovely giveaway from Funhouse Fibers today! Miki sent in 2 large samples of her work- one beautifully toxic looking braid of BFL and gorgeously dyed Muwata silk hankies in the "finding nemo" colorway. Both so beautiful, and so soft!! I can imagine them plied together for a striking yarn!

The name says it all! Funhouse fibers is really FUN to shop with! I like visiting Miki's shop on days like today (cold and rainy) for some color therapy. Usually something jumps into my cart too- I can't really help it!!

To enter to win this giveaway, please visit Funhouse Fibers today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count twitter/facebook/blog/plurk updates as extra entries!

Out of Step Dyeworks DKyarn giveaway!

I used to say "happiness is hand knit socks on a cold day". I think I will amend it to "happiness is handknit anything made from Out of Step Dyework's MCN DK yarn especially in the Nanobot colorway" (pictured above!). This stuff is a dreamy blend of superwash merino and cashmere! And doesn't everything you want to knit require DK weight yarn?

I am lately developing and unhealthy obsession with the colors gray and purple. Looking at Out of Step Dyeworks' etsy shop this morning is not helping abate it! I love all of Amy's work, but I'm really yarn crushing on her October Phat Fiber box submissions!

We're giving away this beautiful skein of DK yarn (cashmere, people!) in the Nanobot colorway today. Please visit Out of Step Dyeworks, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, so please facebook, twitter, blog, ravelate about this for extra entries!
