Guess as many sock yarns as you can.
Just leave a comment with your guesses, I'll randomly pick a winner among everybody and maybe a second one if someone does really well!

ETA: I do not think I was really clear, you need to guess which yarns I am using, not how many. I have numbered the yarns, so leave a comment like "#1 is sock yarn happy feet, #3 is bla bla, etc..."

ETA again: I forgot to mention that the prize is going to be sock yarn, of course!

Sock Yarn Shawl

Since I have about 20 projects or so due soon for various reasons, I am completely enamored with the one that I am knitting just because:

Sock Yarn Shawl

Your basic top down shawl, a basket full of all my leftover sock yarns, no plan but changing the yarn every ten rows. There has been other knitting too, a present due tomorrow afternoon is done (with about 18 hours to spare!):

Mossy Jacket

Pattern by Fawn Pea, available here, I used one skein of Hill Country Yarns Sweet Feet in Periwinkle, doubling it, and about half ball of Fibranatura Sensational.

Basic Hat

A hat to go with these, and tiny tiny socks for a bookmark (pattern by Cat Bordhi here):

Treasure Forest Sock Bookmark

But I keep going back to my shawl, and I like it so much that I am going to have a contest about it - come back tomorrow (or Monday.)
