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!

Farm Girl Chic Gift Set Giveaway!

Melissa of FarmGirlChic is putting together these incredible gift sets in time for the holidays! I love the vintage charm style she puts into creating these one of a kind wonders.

I was going to say this is the perfect gift for the knitter/spinners in your life, but I think I will amend that so say this is the gift you should get yourself! Imagine waking up Christmas morning after only a 2 hour nap (you've been up all night playing santa you know!) you wade through the sea of wrapping paper and say "look, there's one gift left for me!" The kids and significant others have gone off to play with their new toys and now there is this beautiful gift of fiber/knit time just for you! Thank you FarmGirlChic!

We're giving away this beautiful farm fresh gift set to a lucky commenter! Just visit FarmgirlChic and find something you like, write about it in the comments section below, and we'll be drawing for a name tomorrow! Remember to twitter, facebook, ravelate about this contest for extra entries!

Thank you Melissa for creating these lovely treasures!

Two Sheep Fiber Shop and Giveaway

New to the Phat Fiber box this month is Two Sheep Shop, offering luxurious and affordable handspun yarns!

Two Sheep Shop hails from Canada, but US customers don't fret! You could purchase your yarn and have yourself a lovely completed project in time for the holidays, no problem! I enjoy that the shop is all handspun and it's divided into sections by weight. I'm eyeing some of that laceweight- enough to make a small shawl!

We're giving away some silk laceweight handspun! Just visit Two Sheep Fiber Shop, find something you like, and post about it in the comments section below- remember to retweet/update your facebook to get extra entries! Check back to see if you've won on Friday!

The Critter Ranch Waldorf Salad Giveaway!

I can't tell you how much I loove the Critter Ranch samples this month! So cute, so creative, so crafty! I am regretting now, not copying down the waldorf salad recipe! Maybe if I sweet-talk Sue, she'll email it to me :)

Speaking of Waldorf Salad, it used to be on a list of dishes I would not touch. In fact, my older sister and I had a set of rules we came up with as children visiting various family gatherings, parties and such. One of the rules I remember was any kind of salad that had a person's name in the title was inevitably icky and should not be eaten.

I recently purchased some of Sue's beautiful Llama roving and I think I may have even found an appropriate pattern to spin it for here. I'm super excited to be giving away this 2.2 oz llama fiber from The Critter Ranch! We'll be drawing later this week, so please visit The Critter Ranch, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll grant extra entries for those who tweet/facebook/blog about her shop too!

Sue, thank you so much for working on these samples this month, they were truly awesome!

Woolie Bullie Silk Sliver Giveaway!

Wooliebullie sent in the most amazing silk fiber samples this month! The inspiration was the traditional holiday plum pudding with coins inside. I really can't wait for you all to get your boxes and be able to experience this yourself!

I really think this new plum pudding colorway is such a rich, beautiful, and versatile one- an all time cool weather favorite color for me!

The Wooliebullie shop is chock full of seasonal colors for you to browse- head on over there and tell us what your favorites are! We're giving away this luxurious silk sliver spinning fiber in the plum pudding colorway!! The Drawing will be held on Friday so follow these easy steps:
