WYS Winwick Mum Collection yarn – giveaway!
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.
THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! YOU CAN STILL GET YOUR HANDS ON A COPY OF THE BOOK FROM YOUR LOCAL WYS STOCKIST OR ONLINE.
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
I wud love to win hidden gem. I am a crystal therapist and love using amethyst in my treatments. A calming intuitive crystal x
I'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!
I'd love to win either Hidden Gem, as I would treat myself to some socks with it.
Or 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… 😉
Christine, 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!!
I 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.
Love your new yarn, love the seascape colourway.
I really love the Wildflower, and I would be selfish and make them for myself!!
Ohhhh, seascape would be my choice.
Has 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
Oooh Seascape for me. Or maybe Hidden Gem. Turquoise and purple. My 2 favourite colours!
Seascape 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
I 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.
Bought ‘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
They 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.
I love the Seascape colour the most but they are all lovely. Thank you
I’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
Wildflower 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
Wildflower! These would be my second pair of socks I ever knitted!
Hidden Gem will knit socks for friend who loves purple
All 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
Congratulations Christine, I would love to win hidden gem ���� x
Has to be Seascape!! I collect Seaglass whenever I visit the beach!! I think I would have to knit myself a pair❤️
Brightside! Mostly because it reminds me of my primary school wax crayons!
Thank you for the chance! It's a hard choice, but I think my favourite is Wildflower!
I 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❤❤❤
I 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
Seascape is gorgeous! New socks for me this time😊
Seascape is talking to me, but love them all xx
hiden gem must win
I love the seascape colour way and would love the chance to win! I would selfishly make the for myself! Lol
They are all lovely, but my favourite has to be seascape
Love all the colours difficult to choose just one,but I will go bright side my usual colours that I go for are blues and purple .
Well done they look great xx
I love the Seascape,I am currently on a diving holiday in the Red Sea and your colours are perfect. Will remind me of my holiday when my feet are lovely and snuggly on a grey day in the UK 🥰
Wildflower…. my name is Heather and I’m a wild flower ��
I like seascape. Learned to knit socks from your wonderfully clear instructions. Thanks, Kim Carlyle
Id love to win wildflower and the socks would be for me but I might knit a little pair with contrast heels and toes for my 3 year old!
I'd love the brightside, I'm just about finished my first pair and would love another pair before anyone else gets a pair!!
Too many lovely colours! Wild flower as my favourite though. Thank you
How 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……..
Seascape is my favourite. I would definitely make the socks for myself ��
I would choose Brightside, and make my children matching socks.
I love them all, but seascape ss very summery. Just started knitting first pair of socks this week. Thank you Deborah
I'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
I love all the colours but I would like to win Hidden Gem. I would make them for me! Lovely prize xx
I love them all! Seascape is extra special though I think x
I wouldn't mind winning any one of the colours as I love them all. �� If I was lucky enough to win I'd make socks for my daughter's birthday coming up in May
Wildflower as first choice. They are all beautiful. I would make the socks for my daughter in law who loves walking in the hills. She would appreciate them.
Morning Christine I love them all I have bought wildflower waiting for it to arrive along with the book but if I was lucky enough to win I have a very deserving friend who would love it the next colour although I love them all would be seascape Good luck to everybody X
Seascape. Will take any though!!!! Jill at [email protected]
They are all so gorgeous but Seascape is my favourite- reminds me of the colours of summer and family holidays by the sea ��Congratulations on your new collection �� Nicky Gilroy Cambridge xx
Wildflower is my favourite. Your pattern is the a gift of knowledge and opportunity 🙂
Theyre all stunning yarns but Seascape has to be my favourite!
Thanks for the chance to win I love the seascape colourway it's very much 'my' colour – so no guesses who they'll be for!
Difficult to choose but I think it would have to be Seascape but they are all beautiful!
I’d love to win the Wildflower and book to knit myself a pair of socks.

I do like all the colours but am drawn to Seascape. I spent many happy holidays in Devon and Cornwall and the colours remind me of this. I would make a pair of socks for ME! ��
Seascape and I'm going to be truly selfish and make for me ��
Love them all but Hidden Gem for my mum as she's so proud of my crafting and because she's just fab.
Hi, 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.
I'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
Wow 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 ��
Oh, I love Seascape is so nice, I would knit a pair of socks for my daughter!
Ohh, choices choices!! Seascape is my favourite, by a whiskar!
I'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
Cngratulations 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..
I didn't know I would appear as Unknown…I'm Mary Murphy, Tipperary.
Hi 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[at]live.co.uk (not sure if my gmail works anymore as I have never used it lol) Thank you. Jean Keig x
Lesley Fellows
Wildflower – a pair for ME
Wildflower think it's just the colours for spring time.With all the colours of nature popping their little heads.
It 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.
Rachel 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!
Stunning 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
Ooh 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.
Seascape would make lovely socks for my daughter! I learned to knit socks with your first book and haven't stopped since then
Oh 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.
Sue xx
Seascape pretty please. I love purples. Julie Preddy
Hidden Gem is lovely I would make a pair for my daughter who has very slim feet.
I 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
I'm thinking Brightside, its got the same name as one of my favourite songs! Will be making for my daughter just because I can ��
As purple and amythest are my favourite things, it has to be hidden gem please 🙂 although any of the others come a close second.
Sch 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
Congratulations on the wonderful selection, you should be so proud of yourself!! Brightside to (hopefully) knit two pairs for my boys. B
I would love the hidden gem but I would love any one as the colours are so beautiful. Xx
Hidden 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!
Oh I'd definitely say…always look on the brightside. They're fab!
I’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.
Brightside – and I’d make them for my friend who loves knitting and The Killers ��
I'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.
I 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
Brightside is my favourite but they are all beautiful!
Bethany 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!
Hidden 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 🙂
Now to just get back to knitting!
My name is also Rachael Smith I use an alias on google for forum reasons 😀
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!
Can’t decide between Brightside and Wildflowers!!!! So pretty
Your 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 ����
All the yarns are fabulous, but seascape is the one, well done Christine, Carole Mcculley xx
I absolutely love seascape! Without your pattern I never would of made socks. My family loves them
All are fabulous but I adore seascape, well done Christine, Carole
Id love to win wildflower, the colours are stunning and perfect for summer socks ��
Wildflower 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 ��
They’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
I 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.
Brightside for me but they are all amazing! Loving your sock patterns too, I buy from Ovis Yarns in sunny Liverpool…
So 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
I love the seascape please
Hi 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.
Seascape is my favourite I think 😍
Love 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.
Juanita
Wildflowers is very pretty and so would a pair of socks for myself – Patricia Freeman
Seascape is just the one that calls to me over the others but it's a hard choice!
They’re all lovely, I would appreciate winning anything to enhance my newly discovered pastime. Thanks xx
I love the Wildflower colourway. They would be knitted up as a treat for my sisters.
I 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.
Marty Ward
I'd love Hidden Gem and would make the socks for my daughter,Topaz,of course. She's my very visible gem!
I 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.
They are all stunning colours but Wildflower is my favourite.
I’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!
I particularly love Hidden Gem. New socks for me!
Hidden gem is so pretty, I would knit a pair for my sister to take to university with her in September!
Hi, I love seascape! My hope is to see all of my family with happy, snug feet!
I love the colours in wildflower – such a pretty pattern too!
I love hidden gem, but I think seascape is my favourite. It reminds me of warm beach days hunting for sea glass.
I'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.
I 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
Its 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.
Congratulations and you must be so proud to have inspired so many.
A 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.
My 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.
Sorry – my name's Amanda Fairclough. Thought it would come up with my Blogger ID!
I love all the colours but need the Hidden Gem for my gorgeous daughter in laws socks please.
The wild flower is gorgeous, I think I would be selfish and knit them for me!
Wildflower for me as I don't know anyone who would look after hand knit socks and care for them! Their loss��
I'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
I love them all, but Seascape and hidden Gem are my favourites.
Great 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!
As 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
All 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
They are all lovely but hidden gem is my favourite!
As 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.
I 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
Loving Seascape, perfect for my daughter Phoebe x
I 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!
Helen 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
Bright side for me as all the socks I knit I give away
Jackie W x
Barbara Cox
I 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!
But 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 😊
They 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!
What 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. ����
Ooooo 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!
My 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.
Love the colours in wildflower! These would have to be a pair for myself. All the patterns in the book look fab too!
Omg! 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
I would love to win bright side. It would be made into socks for my oldest daughter
Wildflower is my favourite,although I like them all
Sweet 🙂 Thank you for such a lovely blog.
I'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
I'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!
My favourite has to be Wildflower. Lovely spring colours – my favourite time of year so would have to be socks for me!
Hidden 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 xx
I’d love a ball of the seascape yarn! Blues and greens are my favourite colours!
I love the Seascape yarn! So pretty!
I would love to continue my skill making with seascape or wildflowers. I am still doing sock for myself till i get my skills down
Hidden Gem for me! I love blues but would really like to knit myself a pair of socks in this colour for something different!
I’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 ��
Seascape is my favourite! If knit these for me! I'm planning on buying bright side for a friend's pair!
I 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.
I 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!!
I'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.
It was hard picking one, as all the shades are fabulous x
I looooove Hidden Gem. I would totally be making socks just for me ��
Oh 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
I like sea scape and I'd knit them for myself as I'm always knitting for others and never myself
I'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!
I would love the seascape please. It would be for my grandaughter as i have been promising her a pair
Dont know why it says anonymous when it says my name to reply as? Debbie.mansell
Wow!I love Seascape. Turquoise is my favourite colour. Thank you for the giveaway .
I 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.
I 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
Seascape 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!
I 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
Oh 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
I would love hidden gem as I am a self confessed amethyst lover. Pauline Jones
Would 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
Oooooooo ! 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 !!
I 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
I 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
All 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 🙂 ]
I 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.
Norlene Hillier
They're all gorgeous! I think I would try wildflower first.
Seascape is by far my favourite
Gary Burgers
i would love hidden gem as purple is my favorite color
Fab competition! I'd love the Wildflower colourway as they look so bright and pretty. Thank you, Charlotte Stratton
Sandra.
I'd love to win the seascape colourway. I like anything in the green/blue colour palette.
It would be Wildflower for me – summers on it's way! All the colours are gorgeous, thanks for a chance to win.
Alison
Oh differently the first one, Wildflower and I'll make them for my only Granddaughter Ella. They remind me of unicorns and she does LoVe LoVe a unicorn. Thank you for this opportunity. I have learned so much from your tutorials.
I would be happy to win any of these yarn and pattern 😀 Love all of them. Thank you
Love them all but I would choose Wildflower and the socks would definitely be for me this time! Thank you for the giveaway.
I love hidden gem!! X
My favorite color is blue, but I love the bright purple color of the Hidden Gem!
I love them all but if you force me I would choose Wildflower �� Love from Wendy P
Although all are beautiful, I would love to win Wildflower. I will be making socks for my granddaughter Emma.
Thanks Gloria Elton
Wow amazing colours … congratulations Christine! Seascape is wonderful though. 🙂
They are all gotgegor, but I'd love a ball of Bright Side to knit a pair of socks for my brother. He loves to wear handknit socks with his sober professional work clothes and they would be a fantastic reminder to always look on the bright side when he's having a tough day.
I'd love to knit Hidden Gem for my best friend. She loves purple! All are beautiful.
I would love the wildflower yarn! rainbows and unicorns and rainbows are my favourite things! did i mention rainbows? i would knit them for myself firstly, then i would knit a matching pair for my daughter as funnily enough she loves rainbows and unicorns too. cant think where she gets it from!!
I would love wildflower or hidden gem, but I dont really mind. I haven't really got to grips with sock knitting yet So it would be great to win 🙂 🙂
Wildflower, perfect for spring. I will make them for my 88 year old mum to put a smile on her face!
They are all so pretty, but Wildflower is my favourite. Anne-Mette.
Congratulations on this beautiful collection 🙂 I’d love to win Hidden Gem, it reminds me of amethyst which is one of my favourite stones, and a pair of socks knitted from that would go with pretty much my whole wardrobe
how thoughtful of you to share your bounty, I would love another book and skein of yarn if I would win the luck of the draw and make another bright colored pair for me. oh yes Brightside would be my choice.
Seascape is definitely my favourite though Hidden Gem is a close second and I'm afraid they would be for me I love my handknit socks. Thanks
I love blues. Haven't found a source for this wonderful yarn in the USA.
Oh seascape please… definitely my colours
I love them all but Seascape would be my first choice to knit a pair for myself to remind me of holidays in Cornwall. Thank you Alison
Ooh how lovely! Hard choice to make as they're all lovely, think it'd be Hidden Gem for me. As for who to knit them for….me!!
I love seascape & wildflower but I also love them all & l would be very selfish & I make them for me !
I love all the colors but Hidden Gem is my favorite as it reminds me of an amethyst gemstone I have. I would knit the socks for myself. Thank you. Terri
Brightside, for my daughter ��
Cheers, Christine Francis
I'll go for Wild flowers as a treat for me. Just finished the 4th pair of socks for hubby -so think it is time for me 🙂
Not if this registered the first time as it asked me to log in.
I would love Seascape as a 60th Birthday gift for me 😊
I'd love them all but Seascape is all my favourite shades in one yarn! Fingers crossed.
Hi Christine, It would have to be Brightside for me, as I would love to knit them for my son. Although I absolutely love all the new colours, so would be happy with any of them. Thank you for teaching me to knit socks. :)Wendy x
I would love to win wildflower and would make them for my mum because she loves everything I make no matter how it turns out! As I am an amateur knitter it is likely they will be unique!!
You are so kind! I've learned so much from you and the FB page…many thanks!If my name happens to be drawn, I'd love the wildflower yarn. It's so springy! After the long winter, I'm so pleased that spring finally is making it's presence known in NE Ohio, US!
How lovely Christine! I would be really pleased with any of them but I think seascape is my favourite because it makes me think of the beautiful clear water round St Ives and happy holidays. I'd knit them for me….purely selfish!
I would LOVE a ball of Brightside to knit a pair of socks just for me!! I have made about 40 pairs for other people so it's about time I got round to another pair just for me! I would make neat ripple socks with it I think!
Thank you. Eve McFadden xx
I've recently picked up my knitting needles after more than 40 years, found your basic pattern and I'm now addicted to sock making. I would love any of your colours but my favourite would be Wildflower or Hidden Gem.
I’d Iove to win bright side! Rainbows make me happy. I’d knit socks for me finally. Thanks! Beverly Vinson
I love them all but Brightside is calling my name! Thank you for all the ways you encourage our knitting!
I'd love to make socks for my mum with your wildflower colourway.
They all are beautiful. I'll just take whatever isn't spoken for ��. Thank you for offering this.
Brightside for my father in law who loves long stripey socks!
Hidden Gem is my favorite!
Love all the colours but Seascape is my favourite. I would make up socks for a Christmas present for my bessie mate.
Diana Bruce
Hidden gem and seascape are both my sort of colours but I think Hidden Gem just wins. My daughter loves purple so I'd knit them for her.
Sarah Hicks – FB Winwick mum member. Seascape as makes me think of summer and blue skies reflecting on the sea. Currently knitting a boring brown pair for hubby with size feet. Seem to be taking forever. So if I win, these would definitely be for me x
So thrilled for you – the book looks beautiful. I would like to win Wildflower because I think it is so summery and I would make them for my daughter Kathy whos is such a super young mum ( and her big sister usually gets my socks!)
Oh how kind of you Christine! Thank you for this chance. They are all so gorgeous it's difficult to choose just one. But as I need to choose I will say Seascape, love the look of the blues and greens together. Good luck everyone!!
I love the Brightside yarn.
For once, I'd like to make a pair for myself! Since I started my sock journey two years ago, thanks to your patterns, I've still not managed to make a pair for me. (Lots of my friends and family now have warm feet though!)
It wasn’t easy to choose a favorite, but Wildflower had an edge. ��
It has to be wildflower for me. Though they’re all fabulous!
I would love Hidden Gem for my granddaughter, who loves the color purple. I love all the yarns. They are all so pretty!
Hidden gem knits up so nice. That's my choice.
I love them all but as the socks will be for my gorgeous 11 year old grandson who loves all things bright & beautiful, it has to be Wildflower which fulfills the brief on all counts x Thank you! Ali Wigg
I already have purchased seascape, but I would like to knit any of the other fab colours
I would love the wildflower colour and I would knit for myself. I think I am ready to move on from the basic pattern…now where are those dpns! Janet x
It’s Seascape for me, and I would love to see the pattern shown for Hidden Gem knitted up in lovely Seascape, resembling undulating waves, on my own little 71 year old feet! Thank you for the possibility through this fun giveaway! 💜 Tinyjillbo[at]gmail.com
I'd love to win Seascape since I'm always drawn to blues and greens, but I'd be delighted to win any as they're beautiful!
I'd love to win wildflower or paintbox.
They are all lovely but I do like Hidden Gem 😍😍 and the pattern book looks great 😊
They’re all beautiful but I think Seascape is my favourite. And do you know what? If I’m lucky enough to win it’ll be socks for ME!! ��
Jan Ireland
I love your first book and all the help in the YouTube videos. Difficult to choose a favourite colourway, love them all, but I think either wildflower or hidden gem if I had to choose, if I was lucky enough to win hidden gem would be for my eldest daughter who loves everything purple ��
It's hard to chose just one but I think Wildflower is my favourite. I have to be selfish and say I'd be knitting for me. Thanks, Donna McWilliams x
Love wildflower and seascape, and regarding for who…I just don't know, they would be the first socks I make, so I think the most probable is that they won't be very usable. But I need to try!
I'd love to win hidden gem please – I already bought seascape!
I would love, love, love the Seascape yarn and pattern book. I would knit them for my daughter as she loves the socks I have knitted for her from your basic sock pattern.
I'd love seascape as I love and am drawn to the coast. I also love hidden gem too. All of them are beautiful I'd make a pair for me to enjoy while increasing my sock knitting knowledge. Julie Hammersley.
Hi! Thanks for the opportunity of winning one of these! My favourite is "Seascape", fabulous…
Love both the patterns I have used so far and hope to win the seascape yarn ��
Seascape is my favourite. Never knitted socks, but thinking about starting a pair. What better inspiration to give it a go.
I'd love the Hidden Gem, fingers crossed! Thanks xx
Ooo I would love to win Wild Flower..I would make a pair of socks for my Grand daughter, who is a wild flower.
I love all the colors, what you see fit for me to win I'll be thrilled with
As my favourite colour is purple, I'd have to go for hidden gem,
I love the seascape shade, I would make the docks for my sign language tutor, she loves shades if blue.
All your colours are beautiful Christine, but most of all I love the stories behind each colour combination. Such a lovely, rare peek into the design process that makes each yarn so much more meaningful! For years I carried a small rock egg in my pocket with me everywhere for a 3rd pregnancy that was lost, so it is the Hidden Gem colourway story that speaks to me most deeply. And I’d be entirely selfish and knit them for myself ❤️ (Gillian Mayer in Canada)
I love them all! I’ve searched for them but can’t find them yet (in California). It would be nice to receive one from you 😁
I love the Hidden Gem, Christine xxx
Seascape for my daughter please, the sea aaaah
Hidden gem would be my choice. I would love to make socks for my daughter who has a February birthday, which is amethyst birthstone! All of the colors are stunning! Once again, you have outdone yourself!
I'd love the Wildflower colourway. A field of wildflowers always make my heart sing and your new colourway has the same effect! (Although they are all gorgeous!)
I would like the wildflower to make socks for my lovely daughter far away in Australia.
Wildflower is absolutely gorgeous, Christine! This is such a beautiful collection.☺❤
I love the new yarn! I would live the Hiden Gem (amythist) colour. I would make myself some socks! Lisa Mccall
They are all beautiful. I would love to win the Brightside wool as my hubby has said he would like socks in these colours. He has been waiting a year for me to finish a pair for him but hopefully I'd be inspired to knit these up quicker as he's chosen the colours. Thank you xx
I love all the colours but my favourite is seascape. I’d make the socks for myself . Thank you Cindy Parker x
I live all the colours but Seascape is my particular favourite ♥️ I’ll be keeping my dpns crossed! X
How exciting! Fantastic colourways and great looking patterns. I think I'd choose Wildflower. I'd make a pair for my Mum as it's all ger favourite colours and use the leftovers towards a pair for myself ��. Thank you, Rhianon Hitchcock
Seascape or hidden gem to knit for myself ��
I'd love to have hidden gem if I'm lucky enough to be picked. But most of all I'd love to receive the book as I'm struggling to get a good go to pattern for my socks. They never seem to come out the way they should. I just need a good basic pattern to stick to. Thanks.
Beautiful! Wildflower or Seascape.
All the colors are beautiful but Hidden Gem is my favorite. Thank you, Terr Scott
I think seascape is my favourite but love all the and colours.
I would love seascape the blue/teal is my fav…
They're all beautiful but I particularly like Wildflower. Think I'd make a pair for my daughter. Those colours match her personality!
Hi, I love these colours!! But my first choice would be seascape as it’s gorgeous and I’d make them for myself as I can’t remember the last time I made a pair of socks and actually kept them!!! Thank you so much, Alison Swindles
Can't wait to see them in the flesh ! My yarn shop has them,think wildflower is my fave .
Oh thank you so much for this opportunity! I'm drawn to the wildflower color, but i will take any! I'd like to make these for me, I'm still learning!
Such beautiful colours �� I'd love wildflower to knit some beautiful socks for my sister we both love gardening and growing flowers so this would be perfect yarn for her ��xx
Seascape is my favourite – so beautiful
Thank you for this lovely competition Christine. I love your new pattern book and all the beautiful, vibrant sock wool colours, but if I had to choose one it would be Wildflower, as it definitely reminds me of the colours of English Summer wild flowers and sunny Summer days.
I would love to win seascape. I am still making socks for myself. I am still a sock knitting beginner. I am on my third pair.
Hi Christine, I would love your Wildflower yarn. I am totally addicted to knitting socks since joining Winwick Mum and I love wild flowers. So I am guessing that the completed socks would be for … ME! Loving the colours. Thanks, Rosa
It would be fabulous to win Seascape … or Hidden Gem. Both are my favourite colours.
Hidden Gem…��
Thank you
Oh Wow! Seascape is the one calling to me, but they're all gorgeous. If I won, maybe hubby would get a new pair of socks (unless I accidentally (!) make them small enough to fit me.) Kath xxx
Wonderful. The Seascape is my favourite and I will be knitting a pair of socks for my Christmas box. My daughters and nieces get a pair every year.
I love all the colors, but I really love the wildflower. I plant wildflowers every spring and fall.
So exciting, I love them all but I like hidden gem a teeny tiny bit more than the others I think
Wildflower because it is very reminiscent of our Cornish hedgerows st this time of year and I would knit them for my Mum. To be honest, they are all lovely though. ������
I have a complaint! It's NOT easy to choose as all the colours are lovely! I think Wildflower just about pips the others to the post, though.
It has to be the seascape for me! My absolute favourite colours and these socks will be mine… all mine! #cackles
Having just received copies of you first two books, I think I am going to be busy – always wanted to learn to make socks ��
I can't decide whether I like wildflower or seascape more. They're all so gorgeous!
I love wildflower, but they’re all lovely, selfishly I’d knit for myself �� thank you Jayne Bujok
How lovely! I am most excited about the book! I have been looking at patterns and lurking in the sockalong group trying to gear myself up to go for it! I would love the blues as I know that my mum loves that colour and she would be so pleased to see that I had finally taken the plunge. I would have a practice with some other one colour yarn to crack the technique first. 🙂
I'd love the Hidden Gem, for me….🙊
Oh my goodness these are all so beautiful, I love them all, but wildflower is my favourite
It would be wonderful to win Hidden Gem. Thank you.
They are all such beautiful colours but I would choose seascape. I'm a crocheter but wannabe sock knitter. I challenged my Mum yesterday to teach me to knit so the socks would be for her, if I could successfully make a pair.
Hidden gem or brightside! Very difficult choice. I ll ask my lys to stock it after easter vacations!
I would love seascape
Seascape! Such lovely colours! I'd be making matching sicks for me and my 1 year old.
Choices choices! Seascape for me after bit of deliberation. It’s quite different…and you know what…I’d really like to knit a pair for myself for a change. ��
Morag Guthrie
Oh my! Oh my! I cannot believe it. They are so squishily delicious looking. I just cannot wait for my LYS to get them in. I would hope I could win Seascape. Thank you for even considering sharing your gorgeous yarn with us. Lynne Norman
I'd love the wildflower colourway to knit socks for myself! Thank you, Christine! -Kay
I love all the colours but my favourite is Seascape. It reminds me of the ocean which I don’t often get to see as I live in Ontario. We do however, have beautiful lakes.
I plan on knitting myself socks. They relax me😊
I would LOVE to win the wildflower, I would make a vanilla sock for me…all for me! lol Thank you for the contest. – Sirikaan Thompson
The Wildflower colorway makes my heart sing! Thanks for the chance to win!
~Laurie Trzcinski
So hard to choose between Wildflower and Brightside! But I think Wildflower just has it Thanks for a lovely competition.
Seascape would be my choice. All of them really, but I'm a water-lover firat and foremost.
It would have to be Seascape for me, having grown up in Cornwall -late 30s then my 40s in sunny Cyprus & finally residing in a Scottish seaside town this colourway just draws me in
Thank you from Lis Shaw
I’m thinking my daughter would love a pair of “Seascape” socks!
Seascape is my favorite colour,I would knit a pair for my girlfriend.
Marleen vellekoop
I love love love the Wildflower colourway and would definitely be making the socks for myself!
I love the Wildflower xxx
I love the wildflower colour way & although I would begin making them for myself, I know that Hubby would pester me for a pair & I'd feel sorry for him. Yes he would wear that colour way – he is one whacky man!
Seascape I'd like to win Seascape because it's beautiful and the colors remind me of my dear Mom also beautiful. 😊
wildflower is just perfect for spring socks .Thank you
Wild flower is my fave with hidden gem as my second. Beautiful colorations! You are so talented!
It’s not easy! All the colours are gorgeous but if I have to choose one it would be brightside which I would knit for my cousin who loves bright colours and knitted socks.
Alison Butcher
Seascape all the way for me, having grown up – late 30s in Cornwall, then my 40s in sunny Cyprus I now live in a pretty Scottish seaside town so this is the colourway I am most drawn too. Thanks for the opportunity
I really like Seascape, and I would make socks for myself. 🙂
RavId slawson
Congratulations! I love them all, but particularly love Brightside. They would make gorgeous, snuggly socks for me 😊 x
I would love Hidden Gem and I would knit them for myself for once! Thank you.
Hi I never win anything but feel I should have a go because all your wool colour are beautiful,, I couldn't choose which 1 because they are all wonderful colours!!
Wildflower or Seascape! Both on my wish list!
It's got to be wildflowers as it's so pretty. and I would do them for my daughter who loves stripy socks, only trouble is shes a size 9 xxx
Oooh there’s a hard choice. I have just cast on my first ever pair of socks and sing your simple sock pattern this bank holiday weekend. My 2nd ever pair in your fab new Mr “Brightside” yarn.
Craig
Oh wow! Decisions, decisions…..I think I would have to go with Seascape, it’s stunning and my favourite colour. I’ll be knitting these for me �� Thank you for the opportunity, a wonderful and generous giveaway x
I love the Hidden Gem. Purple is one of my favourite colours and would use it for a hidden gem in my life who is struggling at the moment. Ann
I love Hidden Gem and would use it for a hidden gem in my life who is struggling at the moment
Brightside! They are all lovely, but Brightside is my favourite as I think it would work for anyone at any age!
oh my it was love at first sight. I WANT this yarn; I don't need it but oooo I WANT it there isn't a bad skein in the bunch, well done
Beautiful!!! Oh the sea Scape😍😍😍😍😍 but oh the hidden gem and oh the bright side!! I would definitely behave to just sit and look at it, then squoosh it, then finally after a good while knit that sock! Congratulations Christine!
I love the seascape colourway. I knit socks for me but I also knit socks for a friend that goes on expeditions. I promise to make him socks if he gives something to some family that's needy in wherever he is… This might be anything including his time, help to build something etc. That way we are paying it forward ❤️
As a Pisces girl, I would love to win the seascape colourway. The colours are amazing.
Thankyou.
I love the seascape colorway, and reminds me of growing up along the east coast of Canada, but they are all truly beautiful. I would treat myself to a pair of socks. Thank you for this opportunity. Kelly MacClure
I love collecting and wearing fancy coloured socks but have never made any. Love the seascape colour.
I spent many happy hours playing in Sankey Valley Park as a child, so it would have to be wildflower.
Carole would love Hidden Gem to make some gorgeous socks for her sister x
Seascape is my favourite
I absolutely love the seascape colours – they're my faves! I'd start by making socks for my friend Helen, then carry on making socks for just about everyone else I know!
I like the seascape color way yarn.
I love Hidden Gem. Since this will be used in only the second pair of socks I will knit, the socks will be for…..ME! Thank you – beautiful yarns and beautiful socks….
Seascape is beautiful!!
Seascape is my favorite! I think I'd knit socks, or maybe a slouch hat, or mittens! Hummmmm can't decide lol….
Seascape is my favourite ide knit my very 1st pair of socks for my sister.thank you, Jacqueline Togher
I would love hidden gem please
I just adore Brightside amazing colours and I guess they would have to be for MEEEE 🙂
What lovely colours hard to choose but wildflower and seascape both grab me. ❤️💖😊
I'd use the beautiful Wildflower yarn for socks for my best friend Hina. The last pair I made her got lost during a trip, and she seemed sad about it. This colorway for a new pair of pretty socks would be sure to cheer her up!
I’d love the Wildflower, although it’s a tough choice.
Hannah
Hello Christine! I would like to win any of the yarns, I love all the colours. I have made your socks 3 times – I follow you and Lucy on instragram as I love crochet too. I would make the socks for my mum as she needs a boost every now and then x
Hidden gem please 😁
Having connection problems so I hope this is my first post. The colours are so wonderful hard to choose. But Wildflower and Seascape grab me. ❤️ 💖😊
Hidden gem is my favourite. Congratulations Christine.
I'd just love Hidden Gems or Wildflowers! Those colors would brighten my spirits. Mary Mocanu
Hi, I would love the Seascape colourway as it's my favourite colours. I have a confession I've been knitting for many years and never made socks but this colour is calling to be my first pair 🙂Sue Birchall
Oh, I would love either Hidden Gem or Seascape! They are both so, so pretty!
Roxanne S.
I'd love to win Hidden Gem, and I'd knit them for my mom, because she loves purple socks! I also really love Seascape too. 🙂
First of all, congratulations!! All the colours are gorgeous and I can't wait to try the new patternd. I'm a beginner sock knitter but starting to feel confident for a little challenge.
My favourite colour is the hidden gem, as purple is my favourite colour.
Anaïs Freire
My best friend, she loves multi-coloured socks, if my husband doesn’t get in first.
Wildflower please, and just for me!
Wildflower is my favourite.

I would love the brightside and I have to admit they would be for me. Such beautiful colours and that pattern book looks fabulous
Regards from Jenny stokes in NZ
I love the Wildflower as they are such a happy color.
Margaretha Hawes
Hi, what beautiful yarns you have. I would really like to have some seascape please to make some socks. How very kind of you.
hidden gem is my fav x
I love them all,but if I had to pick just one I'd have Seascape to knit for my youngest daughter who's seriously ill in hospital and loves it when I make her a new pair of socks
How generous of you! Although I have been knitting for years, I have not made any socks. Seascape would be lovely for my first pair. Thank you, Liza Castle
Beautiful colors I think the seascape is my favorite but I love them all . I would probably make some socks for myself cause my feet are always cold .
I would love Seascape. It’s just so beautiful and reminds me of growing up near the coast. X
Lovely x
Carrie Owen
Seascape! I can see them on my grandson's little feet.
They are all gorgeous but I would still lean towards Seascape or Hidden Gem as purple and turquoise are 2 of my favourite colours. Keep meaning to return to knitting socks (I have made 1 of a pair a few years ago at a workshop but have got stuck with 2nd sock syndrome!). I have followed Lucy from Attic 24’s journey with knitting socks, inspired by your enthusiasm so perhaps I should follow suit and get sock knitting. I would donate my efforts to the Yarndale Sock Line if you are doing one this year.
Seascape is my first choice! I'm sure I will knit the other colours too, I think they are all gorgeous. Many thanks to you Christine. Dianne in Adelaide.
I love them all but I think seascape is my favorite!
Hi. What a kind idea. I like the seascape but they are all lovely. My lys has sold out of the book! Thank you
Gorgeous yarns and congratulations! I fo8nd it really difficult to choose, but think I'd go with wildflower
I would knit Brightside for my husband. He's very knit worthy ❤
I love the hidden gem and my daughter would love the brightsides, so with would be lovely and then the socks would be for me or her.
Hello Christine I bought Seascape yesterday and about to cast on, would love Wildflower as well. Never made socks until last year although been knitting nearly 70 years but now well and truly hooked. Thank you so much for all your help and advice you are truly an inspiration. Best wishes Jeanne xx
Seascape is my favorite. It has my favorite colors and the sea is my favorite place to be. These will be my first socks ever. Ive been stalking your blog for a couple of years now. It's time!! Thanks for all you write and do.
Really love them all but would love to make up Wildflower. All such pretty colours and a great book. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Lenore Paltridge
I love the blue, it’s my favorite color! I’m going to make socks for my garandaughter who is7 and my Mom who is 87 and going like a 50 yr old! God bless her heart and God bless you for letting some people win some of your gorgeous yarn! Maybe the purple rainbow one would be better for my granddaughter, but it doesn’t really matter as they are all lovely! Thank You. My name is Sherry Reeves
Seascape.
Rachel Craig
What a great giveaway! I love all the colour ways but my favourite is Wildflower. I’m afraid I’d be mean and keep the socks for me.
I'd love to win Seascape. my mom wouldd appreciate it as a gift. Not sure if my first comment went through but thank you for the opportunity.
Hidden Gem is my favourite, I would knit them for myself, I have yet to knit myself socks, made plenty for others though. They are all beautiful.
Christine, what a lovely surprise! Thanks to you and to the WYS people! I'd love the Seascape yarn if I win. And I'd order a second skein so I could make a pair of socks for myself! I'm hoping to have a sock drawer full one day. And no one in my life would wear hand-knit socks, sadly. ~ Linne from Salmon Arm BC Canada (in case there are plenty of Linnes out there 🙂
I love all the colours… but I would choose the Seascape as I need blue socks for the New Zealand winter. What a wonderful giveaway! I would love the book too to try some new patterns
Brightside would be very fitting. Massive changes going on in my lifr currently…a reminder to focus on the positive really wouldn't go amiss!
Fabulous colours, I love all of them, but been a Pisces, fish I would choose Seascape, beautiful Aqua shades.
Hidden Gem would be knitted for my niece who is a “purple girl”
If I were going to make the socks for myself, there is no question I would choose Hidden Gem. However, as of this week, I would make the socks in Seascape for my mother who is almost 91 years old and just started chemo this week.
I would definitely choose Seascape as I love the blues and greens.
All gorgeous, but I think id have to say Brightside! Pattern books look exciting too 🙂 well done!
Wow, how wonderful! If I’m so lucky, Hidden Gem please and they’d be for meeeeeeee! ��
Ah this is so hard! I'm really drawn to brightside but I think it would have to be seascape as my daughter loves all the shades of blue and would love some socks in these colours ��
I would love to win seascape so I can knot my brother a pair of socks ��
I love all the colours, but i would pick the seascape to knit a pair of socks just for me, thank you, Vanessa Smithers xx
I'd love to win Wildflower, as I adore them. It's beautiful.
Wildflower please (though I love them all) and I will be making them for myself.
They're all so pretty!! My favorite color is brightside.
I love the seascape colourway – but they are all fantastic. Jenny Fuller
Love them all but I think my favourite would have to be seascape reminds me of holidays by the sea.
I love them all but I think I’ll choose Hidden Gem. I have contacted a quilt shop a fee hours away and hope that they will carry all four. Congrats to you on this milestone!
Hidden Gem. I would make two pairs of socks, one for me and one for my six year old daughter, I can usually squeak mum and daughter socks from a 100g ball. She's into unicorns and her favourite colour is purple
How lovely! I have just purchased your sock book and now there is beautiful yarn to knit with too! Wildflower is my choice, and I would be totally selfish and knit them for myself!
I would love any but if I had to choose it would be wildflower. I have a dream of knitting a pair of socks for myself. Pippa
I love the seascape colourway and would use it to knit my first ever pair of socks.
I love all the colours but it would have to be Seascape to knit socks for myself.
Bright side because we’re all about the rainbows in our house! I would make a pair for me and then squeeze out a smaller pair for my son @bobbycharliedazzler
I love Wildflowers! And I'd probably make them for my granddaughter. 😀
I would love to knit with Brightside. Thank you for this opportunity.
Aussie Robyn
They're all gorgeous but I think I'd go for hidden gem as my favourite- as soon as I saw it I thought of the heather on the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. Memories of my childhood. I must go back and see if it's really that colour, so of course I'll need to knit myself the socks to wear to compare the colours!
What a lovely idea! I'd definitely opt for Seascape and knit them for Mum. xxx
I love them all but my favourite is the hidden gem. It is gorgeous 🙂
They're all gorgeous but seascape has my favourite colours in it so I have to go with that one. 🙂
Hi Christine, thank you to WYS and yourself for organising this giveaway. After much pondering, my choice would be seascape; the socks currently on my needles are not dissimilar to brightside, so I think I'd like to rest my eyes in shades of blue for a while and I'd probably make them for myself.
Seascape is my favourite. I'd love to win that. Pattern is unknown right now as part of the fun of having lovely yarn is imagining all the finished products. Takes me ages to decide, but that's ok. Thanks for the giveaway. Much appreciated.
Seascape would be my favourite – I would knit them for one of my daughters who both live in by the sea in Brighton (lucky things). They would have to toss a coin for them LOL
Your yarn is beautiful! I have enjoyed your updates concerning the release of your yarn. I especially like Hidden Gems and Wildflower but I must say Wildflower is my favorite! You must be very excited having your own yarn!
How exciting for you to see all your hard work e loved by so many. Hey we beautiful colours, however, I would love to make myself a pair of socks in your Wildflower colour way.
Best of luck to all who enter! xxBrenda
I love the Wildflower colour. Can’t wait to try it. I would make a lovely pair of socks for myself.
Congratulations Christine on your signature range of yarn. Beautiful colours.
I would love to win hidden jem, as I think my partner would love that colour way. I make most of my socks for him as he loves my knitted socks. And yes he wears them all the time!!!!
Seascape would be my choice as it my grand daughter favourite colour strange for a six year old, they usually like pink. I would knit socks for her she already has 3 PRS I've knitted for her.all the colours are wonderful. Can't wait to get them all.
Hard to choose but maybe wildflower
I love wildflowers! I would make them for myself! Everyone thinks I am crazy for knitting my own socks. My husband keeps offering me money to buy socks. Just doesn't understand the satisfaction of making them myself.
Seascape is my favourite. I'm caring for my poorly husband at the moment (cancer) and I need cheering up so the socks would be for me and knitting them would be good therapy for a worried wife
Hope I am doing this right,I love them all,but wildflower is my favourite Helen Summers
All beautiful but wildflower is amazing
Love all these colours very difficult to choose between them but wild flower and hidden gem are the two I'm more drawn to but I'd be happy with any there very beautiful well thought out colourways ☺ ☺
Seascape as I love living by the sea and they are my favourite colours for clothes as well. I would be dreadfully selfish and make them for myself
Love them all and would be glad to have any! Seascape would be my first choice and I will make my first pair for my daughter. Thanks for the chance to win!
It's a difficult decision but I think I will choose Wildlflower. I want to knit socks for my best friend and I think she would love that color. It matches her personality.
Hello! What an amazing opportunity! I would pick Hidden Gem and knit socks to send to my oldest daughter who is 22 and living away from home for the first time. She's had a hard time with it (as have I!) and I've been sending care packages regularly. Purple has been her favourite colour since she was little. I always tell her it's because purple crocuses bloomed in our front yard on the day she was born!
Thanks for the trigger for this sweet memory!
They are all so lovely! I think my favorite will be Hidden Gem.
wildflower is the first one I'm going to knit for myself but I will be making all of them as soon as possible they are fabulous. Philippa
Difficult decision for sure! I love BRIGHTSIDE with all of the colores!
Wow, those yarns are beautiful. I can’t wait for them to become available in Canadian stores. My favourite of the four colours is Seascape but I would be honoured to win either of the colours. When I can get some of this yarn, my first pair of socks will be knit for me!
My name is Judith Peckham and I live in St.John’s, Newfoundland,Canada
Barb Klotthor – Wildflower and seascapes are beautiful, can't wait for them to arrive in Wisconsin. I want to knit socks for myself and my best friend. I am sure I will knit socks of each of the four colors. Hope you are planning for other combinations😊
Love the seascape colours, they would be a pair for me and one for my daughter. Love the WYS yarn, it knits up great. Thank you also for sending the book, love all the different patterns, will not be bored this summer 🙂
Seascape for me. I've made three pairs of socks so I am not ready to share just yet, lol. Danielle Boots.
So hard to choose! If I was knitting for myself I'd go for Wildflower, but my middle daughter is the only one of my three girls I've not knitted socks for, and she loves purple. So I'd choose Hidden Gem for her.
How exciting, well done you! I loooove the seascape wool, and I'd knit some socks for my 10 year old, he adores snuggly socks! Congratulations on all your success, it's so lovely to see good people succeed. Best wishes, from Mandy H xx
I would love to knit a pair of socks in brigtside for me.
Dorothée Delon
I would love a skein of Wildflower. The colors remind me of real flower colors. I plan to either knit a pair of socks, or some fingerless gloves for my sister
Hidden Gem for my sister, then I could knit her some socks and send them back to England for her Birthday. Thank You, Ann Litchfield (Vancouver Island)
Love all these colours but I think Brightside is my favourite. Karen Tait
Seascape is my favourite, just home from Spring Harvest yesterday and visited beach at Skegness. Valerie Jones
Amethyst please! I'd knot them for a friend who gave me a lump of Amethyst a while ago. I've just purchased a small piece for her today, so could knit these for her birthday in July.
I would love hidden gem please and I want to knit some socks for my daughter as she knitted me some beautiful ones.
They are all fantastic, but I think it would have to be hidden gem for my friend Max who loves purple
Wildflower would be top of my wish list! They are all gorgeous but this has so many of my favourite colours in it! What a lovely giveaway! Happy Easter everyone!
I love seascape the best – though they are all wonderful. I would knit socks for my granddaughter. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
It has to be Seascape – a little bit of seaside at my feet
Wow all the colours are beautiful but I think Brightside just has the edge. I must be completely honest an tell you I haven't actually made any socks yet. I started to follow you recently and have been trying to pluck up the courage to have a go at sock knitting. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, thanks for the lovely giveaway opportunity. I would love Hidden Gem!
Ohhhh what beautiful colors. I think I like the wildflowers best, and would be totally selfish and make a pair of socks for myself. LOL
Congratulations! Seascape is absolutely beautiful 🙂
This is so exciting. I do like Hidden Gem and I would probably knit them for me.
Thank you!
I adore the seascape colour way, and I would make socks for my daughter who is currently living and working in America as a gift for her birthday! I miss her and wish so much success! <3
I think Wildflower ticks all my boxes for a beautiful color and will be knitting them for myself first and them my hippy grand daughters.
Cheers Wendy Tomes
Wow….A Giveaway. I love the Seascape colourway!!!!
I'd love the wildflower or seascape, reminds me of summer holidays with my family!
Decisions decisions…. Seascape as I live by the sea. Also like wildflower as it reminds me of our wildflower garden we have created…. OK will go with wildflower but I equally love both. Faye
Ooh I'd love Wildflower – I bet it would inspire me to attempt a pair of top down socks with heels! Fun to read everyone else's comments, too!
what a great give away, i'd like the seascape colour. thanks Leona dixon
Oh! How I love the colours of your beautiful sock yarn. Such lovely combinations – and a great collaboration with WYS! It's hard to choose a favourite – the colourways are all so delicious – but I think I have to go with Wildflower which reminds me of the pansys my husband grows each year. They aren't wild flowers but they are such cheerful and long lasting flowers – they bloom for us throughout almost the whole of the year, sheltered in pots close to the house and sheltered from the worst winds and heaviest rain showers. I knit socks for my family and have helped several of my friends to learn to knit socks but if I were to knit a pair with Wildflower, I would give them to my lovely French daughter-in-law. She loves these colours! Thank you. x
I would choose Hidden Gem colorway. I am drawn to any shade of purple. You are my inspiration and teacher. In 2018 I taught myself to knit socks using your EBook. I still refer back to it when I have a SR. moment. The book would be in tatters if in paper form. Congratulations on the accomplishment on your very own yarn line. You certainly have worked long and hard and deserve the accolades! Thank you.
Love Brightside – not sure why, I’m usually a Seascrape coloured girl, but not today. It just speaks to me.
Yes please!!!
I’m a wildflower girl! Would most definitely keep them for me (they would be my first ever socks), having admired what you and others have achieved. I’ll cross my fingers, toes and needles!!!
I would love to win wildflower so that i can make matching socks for myself and my 3 year old 🙂
I would love Hidden Gem to make a pair of socks for my twin as she loves purple! All the colours are so gorgeous though! Freya Hart
What a wonderful give away! I would love to have hidden gem to make up for my daughter who lives in Woodingdean UK.
I love all your choices, but I guess if I have to choose one it would be the Seascape. I love knitting socks, and my daughter seems to love getting hand knit socks too. Thank you for the wonderful competition.
Mary Dennis
So nice to see your excitement, Christine! I always go for rainbow colors, so it's
Brightside for me!
Seascape is a gorgeous colour combination. Still deciding who will get the socks.
They are all lovely but I like Brightside best.
The beautiful seascape is my favourite. I have just completed my first pair of socks and this would give me inspiration to aim higher.
I am a new sock knitter, having just started the second sock of my first pair (using your fantastic sock pattern from your website) and would love to knit some more in the Wildflower sock yarn. x Helen
Ooh, yes please. It has to be Seascape!
Sue Hayward, Southampton
Would really love to win and SEASCAPE would be my favourite by far. Laura says the same.
Thanks for a great competition Christine!
Bright side or Hidden Gem,they are all beautiful,would be happy with either.Socks for me or my husband depending on the colour.Thanks for the chance to win not just the yarn but what looks like a super pattern book too.Gillian Davies.
