Wow, what a week it's been!
The Winwick Mum Collection yarn has been arriving in yarn shops all over the world (the world!!) and it's been truly amazing to see the wonderful reactions on social media this week. 💕THANK YOU SO MUCH 💕to you if you're a yarn shop and you're stocking it, or if you're a sock knitter and you've bought it. I can't wait to see your projects as you knit it up, so do keep tagging me into social media posts or sending me your pictures so that I can see!
Today, I have something super-exciting to share with you ... a giveaway! Yes! The lovely peeps at West Yorkshire Spinners have sent me yarn and pattern books for me to give away through the blog which is always a fun thing to be able to do.
Rather than have just one winner, there are going to be FOUR, and I've got a pattern book and a ball of brand new, hot from the mill, Winwick Mum yarn to go with each of them.
The pattern book is beautiful. It's got the gorgeous photos from the photo shoot and the clever graphics team at WYS have matched up the photos with the inspiration for the yarns that I talked about in this post. They've even found photos of where I used to go for my childhood holidays, the inspiration for the Seascape yarn! This makes it feel like a very special book indeed, and one that I know that I would love to look through even if I wasn't a sock knitter.
The book has five patterns in it - one for each of the colours. There's Wildflower ...
Brightside ...
Hidden Gem ...
and Seascape ...
and a basic sock pattern using each of the four heel flap types from the patterned socks so that you can mix and match the heels. I love the idea of there being a basic sock pattern in here as well - it makes it a proper go-to book for a knitter's bookshelf, whatever your skill level.
I've designed all of these patterns for "adventurous beginners". What's an adventurous beginner? It's someone who's ready to give it a go, to get their needles out and cast on even if they think that their skills are up to it just yet. I'd say that you might surprise yourself! I'm all for creating fearless knitters - after all, what's the worst that can happen? It's just yarn and pointy sticks and the type of stitches that you may well have knitted many, many times before. The prize is a pair of socks that you might never have believed you can knit ... well worth the effort, I'd say!
So, enough of my ramblings, I'm sure you want to know how to get your hands on the book and the yarn!
HERE'S HOW TO TAKE PART
Just leave me a comment telling me which colour you would like to win. It's that easy! If you'd like to tell me who you're going to knit your socks for as well, I'd love to know because I'm nosey, but it's not compulsory 😀. Just one entry per person, please! **Don't worry if you don't see your comment come up straight away as there's always a delay whilst comments get checked to make sure they're not spam. Also, you should be able to post without logging in but don't forget to add your name so that I can contact you if you win!**
I'll make the draw on Friday 29 April 2019 at around 8pm BST so that there's plenty of time for people to see this post, even with the Easter weekend break, and I'll let you know who's won on the blog so the winners can get in touch with me for their prize. The prize is one ball of yarn and one book per winner, and I'll make the draw using the random.org wizard.
I'll post anywhere in the world so everybody gets a chance to enter.
Good luck! xx
The giveaway is now closed, thank you so much to everyone who took part, and for your lovely comments! You can find the results of the draw here.
Oooo! They are SO beautiful! I think I am drawn to hidden gem the most. Thanks for the chance to win! Holly x
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win hidden gem. Purple is my favourite colour. If I don't win then I'll be down to my LYS on payday to buy them all!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win either Hidden Gem, as I would treat myself to some socks with it.
ReplyDeleteOr Brightside, and then I'd knit them for my dad who loves bright socks.
Brightside is my favourite... Though I'm not sure if I should make socks out of it as a gift, or if I should be selfish and make them for myself... ;)
ReplyDeleteChristine, I would love the Seascape yarn and a pattern book. Have only ever used your basic sock pattern. I feel the need to try something different, this could be the push I need. I would probably knit them for myself or my daughter as we love knitted socks!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your new yarn colours, you really are such an inspiration, you have made sock knitting so easy to follow, thank you, I would like to win seascape I want to knit some socks for my Son in law, they live by the sea in Tenby so would be ideal colour. I am planning on knitting a pair for all of my family members for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLove your new yarn, love the seascape colourway.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Wildflower, and I would be selfish and make them for myself!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, seascape would be my choice.
ReplyDeleteHas to be hidden jem, although all your wools are little Jems ! :) this pair would be for my sister who doesn't believe I can knit socks ! Haha
ReplyDeleteOooh Seascape for me. Or maybe Hidden Gem. Turquoise and purple. My 2 favourite colours!
ReplyDeleteSeascape wow! and I would be knitting them for me, I am defo an adventurous beginner in the sock world as have never tried socks before but would love to have a go!x
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love all of them but Wildflower is my favourite.. I’d love to win, and try a new sock pattern for me, I’m a newbie but I want to get better, when I see everyone’s lovely work.
ReplyDeleteBought ‘brightside ‘ yesterday to do socks for my grandson, but next I would like, or love to win, ‘wildflower ‘ to knit some socks for my daughters friend,who has just been diagnosed with the horrid big C xxx
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful. Well done Christine xxx
Seascape is just beautiful and although I love them all I think this one would be perfect for a friend who’s getting over a horrible experience with meningitis, just her colours. Chances are I’m going to have to buy them all anyway as WYS is my favourite sock yarn and the colours are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love the Seascape colour the most but they are all lovely. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI’d love to win hidden gem, I think i’d Make another pair for my best friend as she loved her first pair so much x
ReplyDeleteWildflower is my choice. This pair would be for my secret socks project. An annonymous parcel containing socks and some other goodies for someone who needs some love
ReplyDeleteWildflower! These would be my second pair of socks I ever knitted!
ReplyDeleteHidden Gem will knit socks for friend who loves purple
ReplyDeleteAll of the colours are wonderful and I'd be happy to receive any one of them. If I have to choose Seascape is probably my favourite. I'd like to say I will give the socks to my daughter but I know I won't be able to part with them once done! Thanks for the chance to win xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Christine, I would love to win hidden gem ���� x
ReplyDeleteHas to be Seascape!! I collect Seaglass whenever I visit the beach!! I think I would have to knit myself a pair❤️

ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance! It's a hard choice, but I think my favourite is Wildflower!
ReplyDeleteI would love hidden gem and I would knit a pair for me with a little pair of shorties for my little one with the left overs❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteI love them all. If they were for me, it would be wild flower, for my Mum, hidden gem, for a very lovely friend bright side, and for my son, seascape. There is literally a colour for everyone. Congratulations, Christine, this is a beautiful range x
ReplyDeleteSeascape is gorgeous! New socks for me this time😊
ReplyDeleteSeascape is talking to me, but love them all xx

ReplyDeleteToo many lovely colours! Wild flower as my favourite though. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHow to choose?! I'd be delighted to win any colour as I love them all, and I'm so indecisive. I guess I'd go for wild flower if really pushed to make a choice but I want them all. I've got my small circular and dpn's all ready to cast on my very first pair of socks. I'd love them to be for me but we will see........
ReplyDeleteSeascape is my favourite. I would definitely make the socks for myself ��
ReplyDeleteI would choose Brightside, and make my children matching socks.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but seascape ss very summery. Just started knitting first pair of socks this week. Thank you Deborah
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Wildflower colourway simply because I love wild flowers so much. I'd knit socks for myself unless I can persuade hubby to go for something brigbter than his usual blacks and browns! Wonderful giveaway - thanks so much xx
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours but I would like to win Hidden Gem. I would make them for me! Lovely prize xx
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Seascape is extra special though I think x

ReplyDeleteSeascape and I'm going to be truly selfish and make for me ��
ReplyDeleteLove them all but Hidden Gem for my mum as she's so proud of my crafting and because she's just fab.
ReplyDeleteHi, I love the Wildflower. They are the colours my sister loves, so I would make them for her. She has been so supportive this last year so would be something special for her.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Wildflower because I am already getting the Hidden Gem ,& I will be making them for me . Congratulations on your lovely new collection June Middlehurst Merseyside
ReplyDeleteWow what a fab giveaway! Gorgeous yarn-I’d love to win Seascape �� would definitely make them all for meeee. My crochet to others but as an adventurous beginner, with my first ever knit being your sock pattern, currently on the heels �� I need all the practice I can get-as if I needed an excuse �� Happy Easter everyone ��
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Seascape is so nice, I would knit a pair of socks for my daughter!
ReplyDeleteOhh, choices choices!! Seascape is my favourite, by a whiskar!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Seascape as well....but any colour is OK by me. I would definitely make the socks for me - I have made countless pairs but none so far for me..Marie xx
ReplyDeleteCngratulations Christine on the lovely sock colours. I love them all but my favourites are Hidden Gem and Bright Side. I would make these for myself, I make so much for others in knitting crochet and cross stitch that these, definitely would be for ME..
ReplyDeleteI didn't know I would appear as Unknown...I'm Mary Murphy, Tipperary.
DeleteHi Christine, What a lovely thing to do, I love all the colours, but would love to win a ball of Seascape (but will be grateful to win any of the colours!) to knit a pair of socks for our family friend who is only 32 and been fighting cancer for 4 years. She has recently been told that there is nothing more they can do for her. So when I saw the seascape I thought of how she loves her trips to LLandudno. She was the reason I started making socks as she saw some WYS rum paradise on your FB group and that is where my sock knitting journey started! jean.keig@live.co.uk (not sure if my gmail works anymore as I have never used it lol) Thank you. Jean Keig x
ReplyDeleteLesley Fellows
ReplyDeleteWildflower - a pair for ME
Wildflower think it's just the colours for spring time.With all the colours of nature popping their little heads.
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be hidden gem as I love purple and they'd be allll for me. I only have small feet tho so I'd maybe do a 2nd pair for my friend with contrast heels, toes & cuffs.
ReplyDeleteRachel W
Seascape would be the favourite of my daughter, she is easy to knit for as she often wears odd socks which really lends itself to my second sock syndrome!
ReplyDeleteStunning colours so hard to choose! I’d say wildflowers and I’d knit them for my mum. I’ve made quite a few pairs for dad and she deserves socks too
ReplyDeleteOoh I love seascape the best, and I would knit the hitchhiker scarf for myself. The others colours I would knit socks with for other people. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteSeascape would make lovely socks for my daughter! I learned to knit socks with your first book and haven't stopped since then
ReplyDeleteOh they are all lovely. I came across ur fb page yesterday and I was excited u are only down the road from me lol.im in N-LE-W. Lovely work keep it up.
ReplyDeleteSue xx
Seascape pretty please. I love purples. Julie Preddy
ReplyDeleteHidden Gem is lovely I would make a pair for my daughter who has very slim feet.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but I think seascape is my favourite, so much so I’d use it to make socks for myself for a change! X
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Brightside, its got the same name as one of my favourite songs! Will be making for my daughter just because I can ��
ReplyDeleteAs purple and amythest are my favourite things, it has to be hidden gem please :-) although any of the others come a close second.
ReplyDeleteSch a generous prize. I'm afraid I couldn't choose just one. But my daughters fav are seascape for my eldest who is 9 she'd love a pair or two of those. Not quite a girly colour but suitable for a tomboy lol and hidden gem for my other daughter who's almost 7 as she's all girly for pinks and purples. And for me I already have a ball of each for myself and little boy who just turned two. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey and wonderful sock know how. All the best, Katrina Griffiths xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the wonderful selection, you should be so proud of yourself!! Brightside to (hopefully) knit two pairs for my boys. B
ReplyDeleteI would love the hidden gem but I would love any one as the colours are so beautiful. Xx
ReplyDeleteHidden gem and seascape are my favourites. I would knit a pair for myself but would have to buy more hidden gem to knit a pair for my daughter - they would match her hair!
ReplyDeleteOh I'd definitely say...always look on the brightside. They're fab!
ReplyDeleteI’d love a ball of Brightside. I work in the Rainbow Room at our church nursery, so I’d love to knit some �� socks for my colleagues.
ReplyDeleteBrightside - and I’d make them for my friend who loves knitting and The Killers ��
ReplyDeleteI'd choose Wildflower and make a pair for my lovely Sister in Law. She & my Brother in Law wear my hand made socks when they go hiking.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try Hidden Gem. I'll be knitting for my daughter as she loves me knitting socks for her and that makes me so happy
ReplyDeleteBrightside is my favourite but they are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBethany Eynon x
It's almost impossible to choose a favourite! If pushed, I'd pick Hidden Gem for myself or Brightside for my other half; I recently made him his first pair of hand knitted socks and he's now demanding more!
ReplyDeleteHidden Gem is just wonderful! I’d aim to make a pair for my mum I think... cause she’s lovely and would appreciate the heck out of them :)
ReplyDeleteNow to just get back to knitting!
My name is also Rachael Smith I use an alias on google for forum reasons :D
All colours are gorgeous and impossible to choose from but the one that edges it a wincy bit for me is Seascape. As I have spent the past 9 months knitting for my 1st Grandchild, due in 8 days time, I would quite like to knit something for me as a treat!
ReplyDeleteCan’t decide between Brightside and Wildflowers!!!! So pretty
ReplyDeleteYour book finally taught me to knit socks after many years of trying thank you. Seascape would be lovely for my hand knitted sock loving daughter ����
ReplyDeleteAll the yarns are fabulous, but seascape is the one, well done Christine, Carole Mcculley xx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love seascape! Without your pattern I never would of made socks. My family loves them
ReplyDeleteAll are fabulous but I adore seascape, well done Christine, Carole
ReplyDeleteId love to win wildflower, the colours are stunning and perfect for summer socks ��
ReplyDeleteWildflower is definitely my favourite and will be buying it and would use to knit socks for my sister, although she better be nice to me or I might just keep them ��
ReplyDeleteThey’re all gorgeous but it has to be brightside for me, and I’d knit my lovely brother some socks, bless him. Thanks for the opportunity to try your yarn xx Karen John xx
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but would like to win Wildflower, as I would like to knit a pair of socks for my daughter Hannah, who loves walking in the countryside and identifying wildflowers.
ReplyDeleteBrightside for me but they are all amazing! Loving your sock patterns too, I buy from Ovis Yarns in sunny Liverpool...
ReplyDeleteSo pleased how well things are going for you Christine! Seascape and the books have already sold out at my LYS and the other colours are moving fast! I think Seascape is my favourite colour, but would happily knit any of the colours into socks! Ollie would love Brightside and I think Charlotte would be a Seascape girl too!! Thanks as always for all you have done and created! Xx
ReplyDeleteI love the seascape please
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, all of the colours are so beautiful and individual, I just wouldn't be able to make up my mind. So if I'm lucky enough to be a winner, please choose! I would knit a pair for my lovely sister in law, who is always delighted to receive hand knitted socks. Mandy M.
ReplyDeleteSeascape is my favourite I think 😍
ReplyDeleteLove the yarn- looking for it in the US. The colors are all so beautiful but I’ll choose Wildflower and I would make a pair of socks for my granddaughter. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteJuanita
Wildflowers is very pretty and so would a pair of socks for myself - Patricia Freeman
ReplyDeleteSeascape is just the one that calls to me over the others but it's a hard choice!
ReplyDeleteThey’re all lovely, I would appreciate winning anything to enhance my newly discovered pastime. Thanks xx
ReplyDeleteI love the Wildflower colourway. They would be knitted up as a treat for my sisters.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win seascape! It is beautiful. All 4 colors are so nice though. I would knit a pair of socks for myself....it is a nice bright color to knit this time of year.
ReplyDeleteMarty Ward
I'd love Hidden Gem and would make the socks for my daughter,Topaz,of course. She's my very visible gem!
ReplyDeleteI think that the seascape would be lovely to make some socks for my Grandaughter. She loves hand made socks and can't get enough of them. Thank you for the chance to win one of your lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteThey are all stunning colours but Wildflower is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI’ve had 3 foot operations since Oct 2016 with another one due this year so I’d like to treat my feet to a pair of knitted socks (would be my first attempt) after everything has healed x
Jeannette
So hard to pick just one as they're all beautiful. But I especially love the Seascape one the best. Thanks Christine for making socks so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI particularly love Hidden Gem. New socks for me!
ReplyDeleteHidden gem is so pretty, I would knit a pair for my sister to take to university with her in September!
ReplyDeleteHi, I love seascape! My hope is to see all of my family with happy, snug feet!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in wildflower - such a pretty pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI love hidden gem, but I think seascape is my favourite. It reminds me of warm beach days hunting for sea glass.
ReplyDeleteI'd make them for myself!
I’d love to have some wildflower yarn to make socks with. I’d probably make ankle socks for myself and my step daughter.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to have a go at my first socks with your basic pattern. Got the needles but been waiting to buy your yarn so they are totally Winwickmum socks. Loving the seafare but any colourway would be well received xx
ReplyDeleteIts has to be Seascape to be a reminder of Cornwall for my beautiful daughter in law who is going through a tough time at the moment.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and you must be so proud to have inspired so many.
ReplyDeleteA pair is socks or even just 1 completed will be a huge achievement for me as a complete sock numpty. I now have to master this as the yarn is so beautiful. No favourites love them all and any one of them would be fantastic.
Oh I just love Seascape. I’d knit these stripey socks for me, these are some of my favourite colours.
ReplyDeleteMy order of Wildflower and Brightside (with contrasting yarns) arrived today and they are beautiful. If possible, I'd love to try knitting with either Hidden Gem or Seascape too - don't really mind which. But what I'd really love is your pattern book! I knit socks to raise funds for my churches; visitors here in the Highlands buy them for walking in and the beautiful colours go down well with everyone as a contrast to utilitarian offerings available commercially.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours but need the Hidden Gem for my gorgeous daughter in laws socks please.
ReplyDeleteThe wild flower is gorgeous, I think I would be selfish and knit them for me!
ReplyDeleteWildflower for me as I don't know anyone who would look after hand knit socks and care for them! Their loss��
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to win any of those beautiful colours! It must seem so surreal to have your own WYS yarn! Thanks to your sock along way back when, I was first introduced to WYS yarn and it's been my go to sock yarn ever since. Sadie Garrod x
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but Seascape and hidden Gem are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteGreat patterns too.
I absolutely ADORE the Wildflowers! Thank you for allowing us to participate in your giveaway! I can't wait to be able to buy your yarn!
ReplyDeleteAs it's a lovely day and I wish I was at the coast walking the dog I'd love to win Seascape, all the colours are wonderful - congratulations Christine on this achievement x
ReplyDeleteAll of them are gorgeous colourways, but my favourite has to be Seascape. It ticks all my boxes. Beautiful sock yarn. Thank you for the giveaway x
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely but hidden gem is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteAs a lover of blue normally I would say Sea scape. But I think I would go for Hidden Gem I'd knit socks for my daughter as she's feeling a bit low at the moment. She loves purple and her dad had an amethyst, he would have been 60 this year.
ReplyDeleteI would love the seascape one pls, though all the colours are lovely. I would knit some socks for my teenage son who is waiting for me to knit him a pair. I'm knitting socks atm in the car (not driving) using your supeesocks pattern. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteLoving Seascape, perfect for my daughter Phoebe x
ReplyDeleteI would be more than happy with any colourway, but my absolute favourite is Seascape, I just adore those turquiose/blue/green colours. I'm afraid I couldn't part with socks in these colours, they would have to be mine, all mine!
ReplyDeleteHelen Lynch x
They are all such lovely colours but i think my favourite would hve to be Seacape and i would knit them for myself.Heidi Coldman
ReplyDeleteBright side for me as all the socks I knit I give away
ReplyDeleteJackie W x
Barbara Cox
ReplyDeleteI am so loving knitting these socks. I began after being introduced to your Facebook page when visiting my dying mother in England , so I’d love to win either the wildflower as mum loved flowers or seascape as her favorite colour was blue. I’d like to knit them for myself in memory of my mum as most socks I’ve knitted so far I have given away.��. Thank you for introducing me to sock knitting. My mum loved to knit also.
Gosh, christine, I love them all!
ReplyDeleteBut especially, wildflower and seascape!!
Would proably knit them for me!
As I gift alot of knitted socks,,,,,
Congratulations on your beautiful collection! They are all such gorgeous colours! I think that I would like either Hidden gem or Wildflower please. Seascape is on its way here (Australia) from Wool warehouse but with Easter it might take a bit longer. I like to knit socks for my family, lots of cosy toes ready for our winter 😊
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful but I love hidden gem as my favourite colour is purple. I would probably make them for my mum as she lives miles away and I don't get to see her as much as I want too. I wish you every success with this yarn and hope you continue to bring out new colours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! All so beautiful, it feels unfair to choose one over the others! I’d be delighted to make socks with any of these, but as you want us to pick one, my daughter suggests Hidden Gem would suit me very well. ����
ReplyDeleteOoooo what a lovely giveaway! Well..... they are all gorgeous, but the one that I would really love to win would be wild flower. I love the streak of yellow which harmonises beautifully with the other colours, I also like the name as I love wildflowers. I might knit socks for my daughter or I might be selfish and knit them for myself!
ReplyDeleteMy choice (and the one I'm saving for!) is seascape - not only do I love the colours but it also reminds me of days spent on the beach and walking along the coast.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in wildflower! These would have to be a pair for myself. All the patterns in the book look fab too!
ReplyDeleteOmg! What a wonderful prize, with four chances to boot 👏🏻🤓🤓. How I would love a copy of your new knitting book and a ball of yarn. I love all the colours so if I am lucky enough to win a prize I don’t mind which. These socks would be for me. Thank you Christine and WYS for this opportunity. Happy Easter. Xx
ReplyDeleteI would love to win bright side. It would be made into socks for my oldest daughter
ReplyDeleteWildflower is my favourite,although I like them all
ReplyDeleteSweet :) Thank you for such a lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to knit Wildflower and i guess I would keep my socks to myself because since I've discovered hand knitted socks they keep my feet warm all winter long. Then again there are friends always waiting for a new pair.
Hidden Gem...my aunt is known as the purple lady and she would love socks. Plus she us my "hidden gem" always looking out for me. Briana Ruckart
ReplyDeleteI've just finished mtg first pair of socks as a gift for my brother. Now is love to improve my sock skills for my daughter and daughter in law worth hidden gem!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite has to be Wildflower. Lovely spring colours - my favourite time of year so would have to be socks for me!
ReplyDeleteHidden Gem. The Winwick group and your patterns have opened up a new world for me hence my desired colour choice. No longer am I the 'strange one who is always knitting'. It's amazing to be included in a like minded group. Thank you Christine. I'm sure your wool will be a huge success - you deserve it. Good luck everyone in this giveaway xxx
ReplyDeleteI’d love a ball of the seascape yarn! Blues and greens are my favourite colours!
ReplyDeleteI love the Seascape yarn! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI would love to continue my skill making with seascape or wildflowers. I am still doing sock for myself till i get my skills down
ReplyDeleteHidden Gem for me! I love blues but would really like to knit myself a pair of socks in this colour for something different!
ReplyDeleteI’m totally in love with them all, but seascape is my favourite. I’ve put them all on my birthday list for the end of the months but I’m worried my muggle family won’t understand the importance ��
ReplyDeleteSeascape is my favourite! If knit these for me! I'm planning on buying bright side for a friend's pair!
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours, but Seascape is my favourite. I knit socks for my mother and me, I think I would keep that colour for me.
ReplyDeleteI love sea scape! I have only knitted two pairs so far... the first I kept for myself ( the little mistakes for my eyes only! ) my second pair were a mother’s day present for my lovely mum!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love Hidden Gem,as it reminds do me of all the tumbled rocks I used to buy on holiday, as I child. I'd knit them for my daughter.... I'm on my 21St pair and she's not had any yet.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard picking one, as all the shades are fabulous x
I looooove Hidden Gem. I would totally be making socks just for me ��
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely! I am yet to complete a sock, but the book and the yarn is so inspiring �� Having seen the photos I think my favourite is actually Seascape.. and living in Northumberland with our beautiful coast, it seems a rather appropriate choice. Thank you for the chance
ReplyDeleteI like sea scape and I'd knit them for myself as I'm always knitting for others and never myself
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try out Hidden Gem, as it's a really unusual colour combination and I like the strong contrast between colours. Congratulations on the launch!
ReplyDeleteI would love the seascape please. It would be for my grandaughter as i have been promising her a pair
ReplyDeleteWow!I love Seascape. Turquoise is my favourite colour. Thank you for the giveaway .
ReplyDeleteI just received your 1st book Christine a few weeks ago so I have allot to look forward to this week-end. I've never knitted socks so it will be a challenge. The sock would be for me and the color would be sea scape!! By the way the pictures in the new book look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Wildflower. I already have this colour and I'm knitting with it now but if I was to win it I would send it to my lovely friend Shirley who lives in New Zealand. Love Marion (Pinklady558) xxx
ReplyDeleteSeascape is beautiful! I am, indeed, an adventurous beginner, only just now on my first socks, Winwick Mum style of course! With this yarn, would love to make a pair for my 87year old mum. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but if I have to pick one it would be hidden gem. It really speaks to me, as fir the book, I am looking to try different heel flaps so this would be great. X
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I’m new to sock knitting but I love it!! My favorite is Hidden Gem! My goal is to knit socks for my family as Christmas gifts and these would be for my oldest daughter. Her favorite college team wears purple and they would be perfect!! Kathy Vercher, Louisiana
ReplyDeleteI would love hidden gem as I am a self confessed amethyst lover. Pauline Jones
ReplyDeleteWould love seascape and would knit another pair of socks for my mum as she loves the hand knitted socks I've made her earlier in the year
ReplyDeleteOooooooo ! Brightside or Seascape ? Yup - Seascape would be my choice Im not a very experienced sock knitter but I would knot these for my Sister who is moving to breezy Lincolnshire from Sunny Florida!! I think she may need some extra warmth !!
ReplyDeleteI have to go for Seascape as blue is my favourite colour and the different shades are lovely. And they would be for me! I have made 2 pairs from the basic pattern - one as a gift - and am now on easy lace. Thank you for opening up the world of socks 😀 Anna
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours. Although I know that my daughter would love Hidden gem. I think it would be lovely to knit all the socks in your pattern book in the colours you have suggested. Thank you. Sharon Ashman
ReplyDeleteAll of the colors are luscious in their own rights, but I would choose Hidden Gem and gift the yarn to my purple-loving daughter-in-law who wants to try knitting socks. [if it was for me, I would pick Wildflowers :) ]
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Wildflower. I love the colors. I think I would make the socks for my granddaughter ..... but then again, maybe for me. Thanks for a chance to win.
