The shopping trip was fun, but a little hurried. There's still plenty of time in the contest to tell me what you would buy if you had $100 to spend. Later tonight I'll post what I bought (right now I have to leave in a few minutes to attend a science exhibition.) But, here's the prize now.
The randomly selected winner will receive her/his choice of two hanks of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn (color Bucks Bar) or four skeins of Patons Classic Merino yarn (colors are Royal Purple and Leaf Green, great for felting). (Please note that one of the skeins of Leaf Green Patons has a slub in it. Aack! I just noticed this! It should still felt fine.)
It was hard to choose a prize! So many people are sock knitters but others like felting (or sweaters or scarves or...). Either prize is in upcoming Project Spectrum colors.
Thanks to those knit bloggers that have already played! The deadline is May 1 at 9:00 PM Eastern time.
Hi Beth,
Thank you for your comments to my blog. I am having a great time knitting the green shell and love the whole thing! Not sure if I can wear it, unless in a/c, it's so hot down here, but I have a few more patterns in the waiting. They're fun, fast and NO sleeves!
Libby says "thanks for the compliment." She is our second pug and very spoiled, as all pugs should be. Our first pug was Ollie, a black cutie, but he died of cancer 18 months after we got him. I haven't met a pug yet that I didn't like.
It was nice *meeting* you! Stop by again sometime.

Hmmm, If I had $100 to spend?, right now I'd buy the Inspired Cables book by Pam Ellis, and the yarn to make something from it!

Hi! I feel for you with the sock dilemma - I've done the same thing and had to pick up some pretty yarn and just KNIT, no project in mind, to assure myself that I *can* do this, and also, that I *want* to do this! HA!
If I had $100 to spend, I'd buy enough Lion & Lamb to knit a clapotis. Probably in the Mountain Stream colorway. :o) Yes, I know everyone's made it, but I still think it's gorgeous!
