Llady Llama Fiber Arts Shawl Pin Giveaway!

Last night I had a dream about Llady Llama Fiber! I can't tell you what it was about though- some mistake I made or something! Anyway, I woke up this morning and knew I needed to blog about Kelli's shop!

And as for the Llady Llama Fiber Co shop, I can spend all day there drooling over the fiber deliciousness! Especially the Green Scarab Beetle fiber- wow!! That was an awesome awesome sample, and here it is full size! Someone needs to make a giant project out of this!

If you would like a chance to win this beautiful wooden shawl pin, please visit Llady Llama Fiber Co. today, find something you'd like to own yourself, and write about it in the comments section below. We count social networking pings and tweets as extra entries, so please help us spread the word!

Spotted Circus Grinchy Fiber Giveaway!

I am working on taking all of my Christmas decor down today. Normally, I wait until after New Year's but I've got a big project going on that I'm excited about. BUT before you put all of your holiday stuffs away, check out this "Grinchy Green" fiber from Spotted Circus! I seriously love this base! Yummy Alpaca/bfl/milk and firestar! She's even included some delicious, red, Banana silk "heartstrings' in there for you!

I know some of you got some mad money this holiday! Why not treat yourself to a SAL or club from a a phattie? I have never seen Game of Thrones, but it feels like I have listening to my sister talk about it. I'm sure I'll come around and watch it, but someone telling you over and over you should watch a thing, makes you kind of not want to. Anyway, looks like Spotted Circus has 3, 6 and 12 month options available too! A gift that will keep on giving!

Visit Spotted Circus today, find something you love, and write it here in the comments section. Please use your social networking pings and gain extra entries by the time we draw for a winner (later this week).

Light Brown Hare Yarn Giveaway!

 I am finding it difficult to try to find the words to express how special I think this Light Brown Hare giveaway is. Firstly, it's sock yarn, and everyone needs it. Secondly, it's really really good yarn- LOVE, love this jackrabbit base. Thirdly, it's 6 freaking ounces!! SIX! Fourthly, look at the color- wow! Just. Wow. It's called Crispin's Day and I really really love it!

Ok, I may have used up my exclamation point quota for this blogpost, so I'll try to calm down and tell you about all the other awesomeness that awaits you in the Light Brown Hare shop. Four pages of immersion dyed yarny gorgeousness, that's what! (oops).

Please visit Light Brown Hare today, find something you love, and come back and write about it below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, so be sure and use facebook, twitter, plurk, pinterest or another social network of your choosing to gain extra entries!

Bitsy Knits Carded Batt Giveaway!





Bitsy has a new carder! I think it must be a special magical carder to create batts as soft as these!! This one is called "Fall in Sonoma". It has SW Merino, Seacell, Corriedale and viscose in it. Delicious!

I knit Bitsy's "Jenna" Shawl for my Mother last year for Christmas. It was my first beaded lace project and Bitsy's pattern was perfect for dipping my toes in. I actually really loved it! The lace pattern was easily memorized too. I used Bitsy's lace yarn, and it was all around a lovely project and one of My Mom's favorite shawls.

We're giving away this beautiful batt! Please visit Bitsy Knits today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner very soon, so hurry and get those social networking tweets, updates, plurks etc! We'll count them as extra entries!

Wandering Wool Yarn giveaway!





I think Wandering Wool has some of the most gorgeous yarn I've seen in a while! I love the color selection and every base that I have seen come in to the sampler, has just been outstanding. Take this Udaipur base, it's a lovely 50/50 merino/silk base that is so slinky and soft!!

Check out Joelle's shop- she's specialized in solid/semi solid beauties that will take your breath away! I have to admit, I have a yarn crush on the Seven Seas colorway! So many gorgeous things to choose from, It might be easier to just buy the club :)
