Posted by: Natalie at November 29, 2004 9:28 AM

OOOhhh...sock yarn. My current obsession. :)

Posted by: Jessica at November 29, 2004 9:31 AM

This is another great giveaway! I'm picturing some super cool socks for moi!

Posted by: Kate at November 29, 2004 9:32 AM

Those would be some wild stripes, but I love those colors.

Posted by: Anne at November 29, 2004 9:38 AM

*raises hand* woohoo!

Posted by: Liz at November 29, 2004 9:43 AM

the beginnings of a sock obsession!

Posted by: Wendy at November 29, 2004 9:46 AM

Ooh . . . pretty socks!

Posted by: Natalie N at November 29, 2004 9:53 AM

I'd like to knit some ice cream pint cozies from Knit Wit...

Posted by: Carrie at November 29, 2004 10:18 AM

socks? anyone said socks? Denmark is freezing and so are my feet ;)

Posted by: Elisabeth at November 29, 2004 10:20 AM

count me in again! :)

Posted by: maeve at November 29, 2004 10:24 AM

This yarn is also perfect for baby stuff - I made booties and hats for a lot of babies and the moms always love them!

Posted by: Renee at November 29, 2004 10:25 AM

I love fixation, my fav sock yarn!

Posted by: Amy Lu at November 29, 2004 10:33 AM

Ah perfect! I've been hoping to make socks as soon as the holiday is over, so this would be perfect! I've heard amazing things about the yarn =)

Posted by: Lauren at November 29, 2004 10:33 AM

i'd like to win! i never win anything!

Posted by: rachel m at November 29, 2004 10:33 AM

Great colors. My lys only carries pastels in this yarn. It would make wild baby things!

Posted by: PJ at November 29, 2004 10:39 AM

This is a fantastic idea! I love your blog and read it every morning with my tea. Beautiful colors! It would be great to make socks for myself. The last time I attempted that, the yarn wasn't overly inspiring and I only made one! Maybe your raffle will change that :-)

Posted by: Adie at November 29, 2004 11:04 AM

socks . . . the next frontier (maybe). . . not sure about those itty bitty needles! Great colors, though; would be a cool incentive.

Posted by: Diana at November 29, 2004 11:05 AM

Summer socks, yum!

Posted by: Brynne at November 29, 2004 11:10 AM

These colours are so fantastic! I'm trying to put together a Christmas Yarn package for a friend in the Arctic and these would be fabulous in there! Fingers crossed and eye-closed wishing!

Posted by: Michele at November 29, 2004 11:10 AM

add me to this one too. it's about time i learned how to knit socks.

thanks so much for your generosity.

Posted by: maryse at November 29, 2004 11:17 AM

I'm a sock fanatic and can never have enough sock yarn. My feet are pratically itchin for this yarn, and my toes are crossed for luck!

Posted by: Joan at November 29, 2004 11:18 AM

I could get into some stripey socks! Enter me in!

Posted by: Stacey at November 29, 2004 11:22 AM

I've been wanting to learn how to make socks...

Posted by: Jenna at November 29, 2004 11:26 AM

Well I could try socks I guess ;)

Posted by: Heather at November 29, 2004 11:26 AM

Wow! This is fun! Great idea, Alison!

Posted by: Leah at November 29, 2004 11:37 AM

no socks....but held with a strand of Kidsilk haze, makes a yummy scarf!

Posted by: debby at November 29, 2004 12:03 PM

toes crossed for this one! Great colors for stripey socks!

Posted by: Lily at November 29, 2004 12:07 PM

Sock yarn!! I love to knit socks. Oh and stripey socks are the best!!

Posted by: Karen at November 29, 2004 12:10 PM

How nice of you! I lllllllllllove making socks!

Posted by: Michelle at November 29, 2004 12:13 PM

Just recently knit my first sock. Would love to win some Fixation!!

Posted by: deb at November 29, 2004 12:14 PM

Posted by: kim at November 29, 2004 12:22 PM

ooh, great inspiration to get me into sock making! :)

Posted by: michelle at November 29, 2004 12:46 PM

hey I am all about the stripes! and have never tried cascade fixation.

Posted by: stinkerbell at November 29, 2004 12:49 PM

What a neato idea!

Posted by: Spring at November 29, 2004 12:54 PM

I'm just starting sock knitting. It's addictive! Some new yarn would be delicious.

Posted by: katie at November 29, 2004 1:02 PM

I would make my first two pairs of socks. 1 for me and 1 for the baby on the way.

Posted by: Emily at November 29, 2004 1:05 PM

Another who is fixated on Cascade Fixation! :) What a fun idea, Alison!

Posted by: sUsAn at November 29, 2004 1:11 PM

I've got just the ice cream cozy pattern that would be perfect!

Posted by: Dawnya at November 29, 2004 1:16 PM

Hmmm...socks are fun too, and I can use 3's with fixation instead of the 1's I've knit the last 4 pairs on. Small feet only take one ball for 2 pairs.

Posted by: Melissa G at November 29, 2004 1:26 PM

I love me some stripey socks!

Posted by: Jenika at November 29, 2004 1:41 PM

Did I mention I've been meaning to learn how to knit socks? I just was looking for a good yarn. Sounds like lots of people like this one.

Posted by: Vicki at November 29, 2004 1:48 PM

Yeee!! How I love thee, Cascade Fixation! :)

Posted by: Sarah at November 29, 2004 2:00 PM

Oooh, oooh! Love the lavender and salmon :-).

Posted by: Kathy at November 29, 2004 2:19 PM

I love making socks!!! I have been knitting socks right along with you and would love to make some that are striped!! Can you tell that I am drooling???

Posted by: Leslie at November 29, 2004 2:29 PM

Yummy color, haven't made socks yet.

Posted by: Orli at November 29, 2004 2:33 PM

THANKS!!!!

Posted by: Tricia at November 29, 2004 2:45 PM

I'm in for this one too - what a generous idea!

Posted by: treefen at November 29, 2004 2:53 PM

yum..sock yarn!

Posted by: jun at November 29, 2004 4:28 PM

I have been intending to try knitting socks, this would give me just the incentive that I need!

Posted by: Laural at November 29, 2004 5:04 PM

oooh, me, me!

(what is it about free stuff?)

Posted by: erin at November 29, 2004 5:06 PM

Oooooh striped socks!

Posted by: Illanna at November 29, 2004 7:34 PM

More Cascade ... there is a home waiting downunder for these balls.

Posted by: Susan at November 29, 2004 7:54 PM

People keep telling me I need to love sock knitting. Salmon might just do it for me!

Posted by: Norma at November 29, 2004 11:08 PM

I have been on a sock making binge lately! Love them!!! I swear, they're nothing short of mathematical genius, and I'm dying to try the short row toe. Since realizing that I'm condemned to wear socks for the rest of my quasi-professional life (to cover up the tattoo from my wild youth) I've become determined to make some pretty wild looking socks. Just the rebel in me, I guess. What a fun thing this is -- thanks Alison!

Posted by: Meredith at November 30, 2004 1:57 AM

Baby it's cold outside and I need socks to wear with my Birks

Posted by: Jackie at November 30, 2004 6:37 AM

I'd like to add my name to the hat for this!

Thanks!

Anna
