Giveaways and Patterns and Goodies Oh My!
Anemochory are out!
These were made with the lovely Hedonist Sock from SlackFord Studio, and you’ve been watching me work on them for the last few weeks. They’re smooshy and warm and indulgent and just the sort of thing I love to put my feet in…when it’s not hot. I’m pretty sure it will get cold again eventually, and I’ll be breaking these out just as soon as I can bring myself to put anything on my feet again…say some time in September.
Now this temporary sock wearing hiatus does not reflect a sock knitting hiatus, at least not for me. On the off chance that’s the case for you too, I have good news. Susan, the force behind SlackFord, has a present for you. She’s giving everyone 10% off all purchases made this month if you enter the code “Hunter” (I’m blushing) during checkout.
As if that wasn’t enough, Susan’s also offered a skein of the yarn I used here to one lucky reader (and of course I’ll send along the pattern). You guys know the procedure, head over to SlackFord Studios, find the name of your favorite color (it will be a challenge, the colors are beautiful), come back here, and leave me a comment with the name of that color. I’ll leave the comments open for at least 3 days and will announce the winner at the end of the week. Just as a reminder, you’ve got to use a real email address. I won’t use it for anything other than notifying the winner.
Oo, oo, oo – I’m the first comment! And I’ve been loving Hot Lips for a long time, I’ve just bought other colors from Susan instead.
And I’m buying Anemochory immediately! Thanks, Hunter!
Temptress.
Honey Butter. Or Midnight Oasis – I’m always drawn to greys. Or Creme Caramel. Definitely one of those.
The way you shape your socks fascinates me.
Oh I like bright olive or coral reef.
I love the Hedonist Sock yarn in colorway From Dusk Til Dawn. The purples are lovely.
I love the socks. And Blue Haze.
i love the new socks! great job on the pattern! and they are a lovely pink!!! i am drawn to all the pinks… but serenity blue caught my eye~
I like HOT LIPS
I like the Pathway Sock yarn in Concord OOAK.
I love that sock pattern! Is it toe-up or easily converted? I would love to make these. As for the yarn… I think the Blue Haze would be a wonderful color to make these in.. and I’m going to have to get a skein of the Mahhvelous Dahling! to make another pair of socks. I’ve been looking for just the right yarn for them forever, and you’ve helped me find it! Thank you! 🙂
I love Susan’s yarns! My favorite of what she has posted right now are the Gold Coast and the Mahhvelous Dahling! I also love the Grasslands and will have to get a skein of that when she offers some more 🙂
Love your patterns, Hunter!
Thanks for the great contest!
Siren’s Song — definitely Siren’s Song. I love the Siren’s story.
So many beautiful colorways – I think I like the Grasslands or From Dusk til Dawn best. The pattern looks awesome 😉
I love the After Midnight and the Passage to India colors.
I’m liking Gold Coast… congrats on the latest pattern release! 🙂
another vote for From Dusk Til Dawn — I’m a sucker for terrific purples!
hmmm must go back and look at Passage to India …
I love Susan’s yarn. Am currently knitting on a sweater out of Cote d’Azur Hedonist.
If I have to pick a favorite colorway, I’ll pick Billie Jean just because it’s so practical since I wear jeans all the time. I have one pair of Billie Jean socks that I wear whenever they’re clean. Been washing them often and they still look like new.
The pattern is lovely and perfect for Hedonist.
My fave is Happy Happy Joy Joy because, well, it looks happy. And I’m all for happy.
OMG you where so right the colors are to die for. But the color that drew my eye was Black Raspberry OOAK maybe because I love raspberries. This new sock will be on my to do list very soon. Glad to hear you are going to keep designing socks through the summer months. Can’t wait to see your new book!!!
Oh my, hard to choose. I really love Siren Song – so gorgeous and soft.
Love your newest sock pattern — love them all! I just found you recently … my hubby will be wishing I hadn’t!!!!
ooh – like a child in a candy store – want that . . and that . . ooh that one!!
Love the Pathway Cranberry OOAK.
Happy Happy Joy Joy It’s gorgeous!
I’m on a bit of a blue or gold kick, so the Hedonist Sock that appeals is Cote D’Azur. And I’ve been ogling Susan’s Cirrus Lace for a while (mmm, Clementine).
I’m currently knitting one of your other patterns and loving it, so look forward to trying this one out in the future.
I’m a big fan of the way Susan’s yarn knits up in the photos on SKA, particularly her semi-solids. I think my current favorite might be the Mermaid’s Tale.
Oooh, so pretty. I think Mahhvelous Dahling is my favorite color.
Love finding out about indie dyers, thanks for linking to another with fantastic colours. Amazingly, I like the Gold Coast in Hedonist the best. 1) Hedonist for a yarn name! 2) The yellow I see in my mind. Not that it means I could wear it without feeling super selfconscious, yellow’s never been my friend, but that shade is just divine.
Oh – my mother is now starting to bother me about making socks, what with me knitting and having magazines around – so I may HAVE to make a pair! Lol. thanks again for your sock encouragment!
