Giveaway!

Very recently, this humble blog of mine reached (and rapidly surpassed!) the milestone of 100 followers *big grin*

This is extremely exciting to me, I never expected that anyone would read it and to have over 100 of you choosing to follow is just so cool! And I wanted to give something back to say thank you. A giveaway *smiles*

Now, we all know that I am all about encouraging people to try making socks (see my "it's really not that hard" lecture!) So, of course, the giveaway is for sock yarn. My favourite (so far) is Zauberball. I love the colours and my socks made from it are my preferred socks any day of the week *laughs* It can get a bit fuzzy, and pills a little bit with wear, but it really does make some seriously cosy socks ;)

To make this giveaway a little different, I thought it would be fun for you to choose the colour yourself. And don't worry, if you win and decide to make something other than socks, I really won't mind *laughs*

So leave me a comment, let me know which colour you would choose and I'll pick a winner on Monday 13th February. The giveaway is open to followers, so if you're not already one then please do hit that follow button. I promise to try and keep you amused ;)






Charisma
Tropical Fish
Chocolate Cream


Floral Language
Fuchsia
Stonewashed

  4. Congratulations on reaching and surpassing the 100 follower mark, its very exciting.

    I would love to be entered into your giveaway and had such a hard time deciding between Charisma and Chocolate Cream but Chocolate Cream won out, its the name I guess lol.

    Thanks,

  6. Congratulations! I follow your blog on Google Reader (not as a follower) so you've actually got at least 101!

    I'd go for Chocolate Cream too. I love those natural shades and, frankly, it sound delicious!

  10. Hooray! Know that you have that many people publicly following you is amazing...I am almost to 200 which is my next goal. Even better, is the people who always leave comments, those are the dearest of followers. Congrats!

    My favorite color is tropical fish and a close second is floral language. I do love that yarn...and really need to cast on another pair of socks.

  11. Congrats! Great giveaway. If I should be the lucky winner I'd love the ball of Charisma :)

  12. Well done on hitting one hundred. It's a big milestone. I would have the Floral Language I think, because I keep looking at it and thinking - I really like that, and then buying something sensible and boring instead.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Good for you reaching 100. I would like Floral Language. Thanks for the chance to win.

  16. Congratulations on 100 followers! Maybe one day I will get there, too :) Chocolate Cream looks delicious and make me want to eat Oreos right now.

  17. I would totally go for stonewash, because I always tend to lean towards the safe side. Congrats on 100 followers, here's to another 100!

  18. Congratulations!!! I like stonewash or charisma :)

  19. What a lovely offer, I'm a reasonably new follower having only recently discovered your blog through the yarn along which I finally joined this year. I already enjoy reading your posts and seeing your projects.

    If I was the lucky chosen one I think I would choose ... ooh decisions, decisions ... the Tropical Fish.

  20. Congrats! I feel the same way all the time. People read this? Really? I completely get it. For me, it's Charisma. So pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sounds like fun. If I won I'd actually like the chocolate cream, because I have way too many bright socks as it is. Congrats on 100 followers by the way, that is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Congratulations on reaching 100, that's amazing! And I would go for stonewashed, as I have no blue sock yarn. Though charisma is also totally amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Tropical Fish. I have a lot of greens and blues and purples and neutrals in my sock yarn stash...but I don't have a lot of bright colors. I think my Skyp Socks are the "odd" ones because they're reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks. I do have neon green socks...but they're still green and, thus, fall into the "green" category.

    So, Tropical Fish.

    And I'm thinking of a giveaway myself...but I only have 50 followers. We'll see...

  24. I really want to learn how to knit socks too!! This is such a cool giveaway! My favorite color is Charisma.

    I might have a giveaway soon, hmmmmmmm

  25. Congrats on 100 followers! I love tropical fish and the socks would be awesome. I have a crazy Zauberball in my stash and the color way is fab.

    ReplyDelete
  26. :( it's not letting me follow! Ah well, congrats on 100+ followers! I've never used Zaurball but it's certainly on my "to try" list. That tropical fish colorway looks like it'll make fun socks.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ooo, I really like the chocolate cream! it's really generous of you to do this giveaway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Congrats on the blog milestone :) Charisma is by far my favorite color above! I have yet to make a pair of socks but I'm dying to attempt!! :)

  30. I am just getting into socks (which is how I found your blog a few weeks ago (so your SEO is working well!)) What a great giveaway! If I was lucky enough to win I'd like tropical fish please. It's be like having a rainbow in your shoes!

  31. Tropical Fish..or Stonewashed. Wow, that's a hard pick! Thanks so much for the contest and congrats on so many followers! I really enjoy reading your musings.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Congratulations on the followers!! Ooo, those colors are all very nice. Hmmm...Stonewashed or Chocolate Cream...so hard to say no to anything with Chocolate in the name!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I can't believe so few people are choosing Charisma, cos that would totally be my choice (are you at all surprised).

    Still wouldn't make socks though :P

    ReplyDelete
  34. Woot I am number 106!!! I guess having you in my Google Reader doesn't count as a follower unless you click the button :)

    I would have to say the Tropical Fish is talking to me today!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Congratulations on the 100 followers, you're a long way ahead of me (only 27) but you've probably been blogging longer than I have also. I'm sure my wife would go for "Charisma" but I think I would prefer "Chocolate Cream" (I have a lot of trouble going pat chocolate). All the colour ways are great and I wish I could afford to buy them all.

  36. 100 Followers! That is wonderful. I just started my blog in January and I am so excited that I am quickly approaching 50. I can't even imagine having 100 people who want to read what I write. Congratulations. Oh, and as for my favorite color....fucshia

  42. Woohoo well done on your 100 - I'm a long way behind! Big fan of Zauberball too after making a shawlette from the black/teal colourway. I love the look of charisma xx

    ReplyDelete
  43. Congratulations on your milestone. I love reading your posts, you write really well and I am always a fan of someone who loves knitted socks. I think tropical fish is the best, but it is a tough choice!

    ReplyDelete
  44. The tropical fish one looks absolutely awesome!! congrats on 100 followers :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Am I allowed to enter even if I won't make socks with it? ;) Those are awesome colours - I love zauberball - and I think charisma is my favourite.

    Here's to the next 100!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks for the giveaway. All of the colors look fabulous so this is a tough choice... I'll go with Charisma if I win :).

    ReplyDelete
  47. Congrats on 100 followers. That's amazing!

    I was initially drawn to Tropical Fish because I loves me some rainbows but now I'm leaning more towards Floral Language because pink and green are so happy together and the white in the yarn really balances it out so it doesn't punch you too much in the face.

  48. I'd go with Stonewashed. I'm a sucker for the blues.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Congratulations! Love all colors but the Tropical Fish calls my name!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Totally into Charisma. Congrats on your 100! :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oh Tropical Fish! I had my eye on that before and it sold out before I got a chance to get it. Congrats on 100!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Congrats on 100 followers! I love blues, so I would definitely go for the Stonewashed one :)
