Bitsy Knits Batt giveaway!

BitsyKnits is just aglow with super soft fibers and yarns ripe for the picking! Sorry for the garden reference, I just came in from picking veggies in my garden. There is nothing like eating veggies from your own garden. There is also nothing like using fiber and yarn from small independent fiber folk who do this because they love it more than anything else!

We're giving away this beautiful carded batt inspired by the Phat Fiber theme for June- A Midsummer Night's dream! Just visit Bitsyknits, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing later in the week for the winner, so be sure and twitter, facebook, plurk and ravelate about it for extra entries :)

I hope you're feeling inspired to 'harvest' some of Bitsy's beautiful work and incorporate it into beautiful creations of your own!

Dawning Dreams Laceweight Yarn Giveaway!

Shortly before the last box, I was able to visit with Dawn from Dawning Dreams. We had a wonderful time taking the kids to the park and it was so nice to connect with someone so talented as Dawn! She's back from vacation and her shop is better than ever!

This is the perfect time to go shopping! We have the Tour de Fleece and a holiday weekend coming up- it would be nice to have fibery packages arriving during that time ;)

Please visit Dawning Dreams today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for the winner of this beautiful merino/silk laceweight yarn later in the week, so be sure and get your comments and tweets, plurks, facebooks, pings etc in before then- we count those as extra entries!

Moonlight and Laughter Batt giveaway!

This batt is so scrumptious and beautiful! Whew, ok. I just had to get that off of my chest at the very beginning because it is. Marilla from Moonlight and Laughter is one of my favorite dyers. Her color sense is amazing!

One thing I really love about Marilla's shop right now is her selection of worsted weight yarn. I think a lot of shops will put aside the worsted weight stuff in the summer in favor of lighter yarns, but summer is when a lot of us have a little time to churn out some early holiday gifts. It's so great to be able to purchase the beautiful hand painted stuff this time of year!

We're giving away this gorgeous batt today, just visit Moonlight and Laughter, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner later in the week, so in the meantime be sure and use twitter, facebook, ravelry etc to help get the word out about this beautiful shop! We appreciate it so much, we give you extra entries for doing it!

Yarndemon Stitch Marker Set Giveaway!

Today we're giving away an adorable set of Yarndemon stitch markers! I'm so honored to be part of the inspiration for these guys! I used to have an ad out that showed my green yarn guy with googly eyes and said "The yarn money you could be saving if you'd bought a Phat Fiber Box" or something akin to that- the yarn guy is still up in the Phat Shop banner because I think he's cute (and a little creepy!). Anyway, Anita created these little yarn guys and I think they're so cute!

Yup, they're cute, but there is even more unabashed cuteness inside her shop! Zebras, Penguins and Mice oh my!

Let's have some fun! We're giving away this set of yarn guy stitch markers today. All you need do is visit Yarndemon, find something you love, come back here and post about it in the comments section below. Be sure and leave an identifying mark and be sure and take a minute to retweet/facebook etc about this to get extra entries!

Fleecemaker Fibers Batt Giveaway

Several of you will be getting your boxes today (I hope!) and inside a few are these very beautiful brushed mohair fiber samples from Fleecemakers Fibers. I said in the video this month, they're really akin to human hair and feel very glossy and smooth. It would certainly be an interesting spin!

We're giving away this beautiful batt set from Fleecemakers today! This green batt set is very beautiful and has lots of sparkle to it!
Please visit Fleecemaker Fibers, find something you'd love to have, and write about it in the comments section below here. In a couple of days, we'll draw for a winner so be sure and twitter, plurk, facebook, ravelate etc about this giveaway to get more chances to win!

Fiber Fancy Lace Yarn Giveaway!

Though I love discovering new shops and sometimes shopping with a place you've never purchased before is often exciting, I have several "fall back" shops I regularly buy from because I know what I'm going to get. This is the case with Fiber Fancy! I am very excited to see the new yarns Diana is dyeing and offering in her shop!

As some of you know, I'm going through a shawl phase. I am working on 2 right now and I will admit, I like using sock weight yarn because I like to knit them fast. This laceweight that Diana is now offering is beautiful and has a little 'backbone'- it's not the really super thin laceweight that you can find elsewhere. This means you can use a slightly larger needle and expect to be able to knit a little bit faster :)

We're giving away this beautiful skein of 'Wanderer of the Night' today! Please visit Fiber Fancy, go virtual window shopping, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below and be sure and twitter, facebook, plurk or ravelate about it as well to get extra entries!

Stash Enhancement button giveaway!

Again, it is my pleasure to introduce to you a new phattie- Jessie of Stash Enhancement! Jessie is a talented spinner, knitter/crocheter and jewelry artist. Her samples this month for the box are these beautiful buttons made from dimes. This would be an exceptionally unique way to finish that project of yours that needs the 'right' button. I've been there, it's so hard to find buttons and closures that complement all the hard work you've put into making something!

I very much love that her spinning tools like her wpi gauge can be worn as a pendant- things with dual purposes like this make me happy! What a beautiful gift these tools would make for the special spinner in your life :)

Please visit Stash Enhancement today and find something you like. Write about that something in the comments section below and we'll draw for a winner later in the week. Be sure and mention Stash Enhancement on your facebook, twitter, ravelry group or blog for extra entries!
