Ok so firstly I am going home for a few days, I am teaching a workshop on Saturday at Getknitted and I want to chill with mom and pops and am even going to stay with little bro, can't wait!!
So I have updated the shop tonight, it wasn't quite meant to be that way, but I accidentally pushed to many buttons and well its just sort of there early, lol.
Also there are errata for the Stain glass window sock pattern, which is here, I will do anther blog post about this on Monday so people will find it if googled.
Secondly before we get to the competition, I have some new treats in the shop, some sock blockers which have been especially made for me, they even have my logo on them, which is very cool :) They come in Small medium and Large.
Ok onto the competition.
'Someone' needs a name, Karen and I feel that shop monster is not the most flattering of names so we are having a naming competition to name her:
You need to leave a comment with a name suggestion in the comments section, with your reasoning behind your idea, and the best answer wins a pair of tickets for rav day including being able to see the speaker, or if you don't need rav tickets a skein of raspberry cashmere yarn :)
I also urge you to look at the new arrivals one sock yarn in particular I named was really funny, I couldn't resist it, I think its because I am so delerious and tired!
Don't forget also if you are the first person find the shop monster and you emial it through as an order (no payment nessasary) then you will win a hank of sock yarn.
ok folks, have a lovely weekend, I am gonna sleep and chill pre and post the workshop cause I is hangin!

Not on Twitter, so putting an answer here to the bit about Rav Day Dyeing - greys, stones, neutrals in laceweight would be nice, I'm also very keen on the denim colours, and if I don't make it on the day (which is now looking very unlikely), maybe there'll be some left for the shop!

I would name her Liw, which is welsh for colour/dye/hue, to represent something Fybrespates is extremely good at producing - beautiful fibres dyed to wonderful colours and hues that blend perfectly.

I think she's an "Enfys" (I chose a Welsh name because of the "made in Wales" tag) - which is Welsh for Raindow - as you bring a lot of colour into our lives.

I think she looks like a Flo . Tried to come up with a good reason, like Fibre Loving ...? but I cant think of anything suitable - she just looks like a Flo to me!
