CONTEST!

I've determined that I get several hits a day (not a lot mind you) to this blog. More, of course, when I post. I'm really not much of a writer but I do like having some place to make announcements about new stuff in my shop. I just don't share much personal stuff or take the time to write about what's on my mind.

In order to maximize the hits I do get and thank those who are taking the time to visit I've decided to have a contest.

Leave me a comment with:

***A sock yarn colorway that you dream of. List off 4-7 colors and give it a name. I may or may not actually create your colorway but I'm interested in what you like and I'm terrible with naming them.

***Deadline*** Wednesday, May 1, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time

***Two (2) winners - one chosen for my favorite colorway (the one I'll be dyeing to try) and one chosen at random.

***Winner gets*** Any one item in my shop. I'm working up some more of the sock knitting bags that will hopefully be up by then plus new yarns here and there as I get them done.

***Random Winner will be chosen when one of my adorable kiddos draw your name out of a hat. (Remind me to take pictures)

***Up to three entries per person in separate comments please.


I really can't wait to see what this contest yields. Will I even get one comment? Mia, are you out there?
