yarny giveaway!

This isn't some landmark blog post. It's no. 233. But in all that time I haven't had a yarn giveaway. I've amassed a lot of sock yarn over the past two years. A kind of scary amount. So I want to give a few skeins away to my fellow knitters!

The goodies up for grabs are:

Fearless Fibers, Greed

Fearless Fibers super-soft 100% merino sock yarn in a very generous, 550-yard put-up in a golden-y shade called Greed (apropo, since I tend to be a bit greedy about sock yarn...)

Vesper Sock Yarn

And Knitterly Things Vesper Sock Yarn in Indian Summer. It's a club offering from last summer's sock yarn club - a merino-tencel blend - very soft and shiny!

There's one catch - you have to leave a comment here and tell me about a blog you like, be it about knitting or cooking or fitness, all of which are things I enjoy.

Leave your blog addy or e-mail in the comment form, too, so I can get ahold of you. This is open to U.S. and Canada peeps - sorry to those farther afield.

I will keep this contest open until Wednesday, July 1.

P.S. If I somehow manage to get more than 100 comments, I might throw a third skein of sock yarn into the pot to better your odds ....

    Yay for yarny giveaways!!

    As for blogs I love, my knitting friends all got me turned on to Smitten Kitchen and The Pioneer Woman (Pioneer WOman cooks is fabulous too!). Beware, these blogs will increase your caloric intake just by reading I think!

    One of my favourites is Smittenkitchen.com. I've tried several of the recipes she blogged about, and they've all been really good.

    For food, check out orangette.blogspot.com. For knitting, knit2mylou.blogspot.com is awesome too, not that I'm biased or anything.

    She's taking a bit of a summer break while she's on vacation for the next few weeks, but check out all her archives, she has amazing recipes and her food photography is fabulous.
