Advent Sock Kit Giveaway


Remember these socks? Well, over the course of the year, I've accumulated enough scraps of sock yarn to make up a new set of Advent sock skeins. Just in time for the Christmas season/Hanukkah/winter solstice!(because tiny skeins of sock yarn lend themselves to most major festivities). In order to be in with a chance to win - wait for it! -
  • 23 little balls of sock yarn
    Mostly a wool/nylon mix, one or two little balls of cotton. Some Kool-Aid dyed, most standard German yarns. Each ball weighs approx 20 g (my socks weigh approximately 12g each, so these mini skeins should be enough for a wee sock.)
  • one finished sock to start you off 
  • 1 hook - 3.5 mm
  • 1 set of foam number stickers
All you have to do is leave a comment below with a contactable address - a link to your blog / your user name on Ravelry or Crochetville / your email address (= in which case, your comment will not be published publicly, I'll just enter your name on the list.)

The closing date is the 7th November, 2011.

    What a great idea for a giveaway! Chuck my name in the hat please - I've been pondering making an advent calendar for the last couple of weeks...

    I'd like to be entered as well - here in Japan there is definitely a shortage of good colourful and affordable yarn, not to mention how all the foreign students would scream of joy to get such a cute little sock for Christmas! Regards! Hanna
