Want to win some tasty, limited edition yarn? Sure you do! I would too! I considered keeping this lovely skein all to myself, but then thought better of it. What is this lovely yarn? It's the first edition of Cherry Tree Hill's sock-of-the-month! Each month, they'll dye a few hundred skeins of a limited edition colorway, and after that no more. I'll be getting just a few dozen of this yarn each month, and I'll post here when it arrives.
Burnished Berry is the first colorway, for September 2008. Cheryl (owner of CTH) sent me a skein a few weeks ago, and I just got in the entire shipment today. It just so happens that a couple months ago I was searching for this exact color combination. I wanted something that was various-shades-of-blues-and-purples-with-a-bit-of-pinkish-violet-thrown-in, and couldn't find exactly what I was picturing, so I instead went an entirely different way for a friend's pair of socks. When I saw this colorway, I had one of those "Doh!" moments. Isn't that typical?
So I'm passing along the skein Cheryl sent me to one of you lucky knitters. Tell me below in the comment section what's on your needles right now, and leave me a link to a pic if you want me or others to take a look. I'll randomly choose from those who comment by Friday the 22nd at midnight. If you win, you'll get an e-mail from me early next week!
I'm currently knitting a pair of CTH possum socks and I'm halfway through Fannie's Farmhouse in Rose Garden. I just can't get enough of FF yarns but I'd sure love to win a skein of the new CTH colorway!

I am making the Silky Kerchief shawl out of Noro Silk Garden Sock, and have added a border to it. It's a LOT of yarn, and I ran out just short of completion! D'oh!

Currently on my #2 needles: Lorna's Laces "Seaside" in a classic, basic sock pattern.
I'm landlocked in the midwest and miss the sand and surf of the coast, so the colors in this yarn are bringing back memories.

My active projects are the 'rectangle shawl with diamond center' (I think that's its title) from Victorian Lace Today in Kid Silk Night as my home knitting. My bus/work knitting is the Noro Wave scarf in color S8 (purples, blues, greens). There are a few other items languishing in the WIP pile as the shawl has to be done for my wedding in 4 weeks. :)
Posted by: BunnyQueen | August 19, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Hm, currently knitting some plain stockinette socks that I'm making up as I go along, the Embossed Leaves socks, a hat shaped like a shark and a never-ending scarf that is kind of like the Chevron Scarf. That and my spinning projects.
Posted by: Janis | August 19, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Lets see...I have the second sock CGS (Camouflage Green Socks) and a basic black hat for Socks for Soldiers on my needles. Actually these (or their brothers & sisters) are always on my needles. Occasionally I slip in another project but these occupy most of my knitting time. Pictures can be found on Ravelry.
Posted by: dianaknits | August 19, 2008 at 01:08 PM
On the needles right now... an uneven rib sock of Shibui Sock and a child-sized hat for a charity project. And learning to spin.

My current project is socks (of course) in CTH Moody Blues, the pattern is BFF socks by Cookie A. You can see them on my blog, the August 6 page. I had discovered an error and had to lay them aside for a while. I finished another pair then went back, corrected the mistake and am now half-way down the foot. The blog is "She Knits Socks" and the address is http://dogloverknits.blogspot.com .

Everything on the needles? Sakes.
The project I'm working on now is my gumdrop socks. I also have 2 shawls on the needles, one single sock waiting for a mate to be cast on, a blanket for Junior, a scarf that is ripped and needs to be restarted...
Oh and Junior's cardi which is more than likely much to small now. It just needs one arm set in and seamed. I don't want to talk about it.

I'm knitting a baby blanket for Project Linus. When the Orioles season was just getting going I decided that I would knit a baby blanket for Project Linus each time Brian Roberts, the second baseman, hit four hits in one game. He did this August 10th. The picture of the blanket-in-process is in the August 17th blog post of my blog http://brobbobbleheadbiscotti.mlblogs.com/. As you can see from my other posts, I definitely caught the sock fever :D

Stockinette socks to leave in the car, using yarntini in cosmopolitan and 4. a blue February lady sweater for my oldest daughter using DIC in some summer sky. *gulp* do I really have 4 WIP's??! I don't think I've had that many going at one time before! And I really want to cast on for Loppem for me....

On the needles now is Oat Couture's Knit Ruana for myself in a sumptuous black and gold boucle which I hope to have finished in time for Fall weather. I also just started generic socks for both my son & DIL... in sorta-Ohio State colors of scarlet&gray&black--one in sKnitches SSS/Wickedness (from you!) and one in Trekking/#122 (also from you, I believe). Chances are these won't be done for the first game in 10 days, but that's my goal.
Thanks for the contest!

Current sock is Go with the Flow in CTH super solid. I think I should get this sock yarn because CTH is my fave.

On my needles now is an Uptown Boot sock (which is going to be an Uptown Ankle sock!) in a pretty pink STR yarn. It's going slowly, which is why it will be an ankle sock! I also have an alpaca scarf on the needles for my hubby, but it's been too warm here to knit with alpaca!

First of all, I love that yarn. The color combination is great!
I currently have a top down sweater on my needles ( a Christmas present), a prayer shawl, an afghan, and a pair of socks in Tofutsies for my granddaughter. I won't even comment on all the things that are put away on needles that I haven't worked on in a while - not even sure what all there is.
As for pictures, I don't have a camera with a working battery right now to post any pictures. Sorry.

Right now my needles have many projects on them, some hibernating. Currently I'm actually working on an everlasting bagstopper in Sugar 'n Cream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8716173@N02/2746510886/ and Anne Hanson's Fiddlehead scarf: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8716173@N02/2745674097/ .
Someday I'll finish these and get back to my unfinished socks and other projects I want to start!
The Cherry Tree Hill looks nice! Thank you for the contest!

Right now I have two pairs of socks going. I am doing two at once on one long needle. I'm using Trekking in two different colorways, toe up, the Crazy Toes & Heels way. Now if I could only figure out that one part of the book....

I have OTN Classic Elite Alpaca Sox in the Harvest Color. I love this yarn!!!!! Of course I have only knit 3 pair of socks and this is the 4th. I am hooked! There are so many yarns to try!
I also have a Wallaby sweater OTN for my grandson. Vanna's Choice acrylic as he is growing so fast. Mom likes the washability.

Hi,
At the moment I have OTN a pair of wristwarmers using my own handspun (merino/alapca blend) and a scarf in a chunky alpaca directly from the breeder. Also a baby blanket for charity made with some donated yarn.

My new knitting goal is to limit myself to 3 WIPs...so far so good. I have a Ribby Cardi from Bonne Marie Burns, the Montego Bay scarf and I have just started my heels and toes from SSYC and Shelridge Farms today! I met Buffy from SF up at the Michigan Fiber Fest and picked up a third skein of emerald green and am attempting my first "2 at a time" socks and plan to use all three colors!

I am currently knitting one pair of socks out of some Koigu yarn for my mom, and I am knitting a pair of Multi-Directional socks out of some Claudia Hand Painted yarn for myself. I have a bunch of other things in my knitting queue, including a bunch of socks to be made with yarn bought here at SimplySocks!
I love the Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn, and would love to add it to my stash!

Currently I'm working on the Child's French Socks from Nach Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks in a steal-blue merino that came from a recycled sweater. I have also been working on a set of three baby sweaters for my expecting friend, all in bright happy cotton yarns!

I've got way too many things on the needles, but the active things are the fan kimono from Knit Kimono and a pair of socks out of Flat Feet. :)

Which set of needles LOL!! Handdyed sock blank with Varsity 2AAT, rolled brim baby hat for Crisis Pregnancy Center charity project, Summerlin (Katherynivy.com), Hollyberry shawl (Abigail's Blue Velvet), Wee Tiny Sock plus a few no think projects that I can pick up when I don't want to think!!

I'm knitting up a couple of baby blankets for some friends who just had twins.

On the needles right now are a pair of RPM socks, a shawl that I am taking a break from, an afghan (also on hiatus), and a crocheted Olympic blanket (because it's taking me 4 years to finish it). The CTH yarn is beautiful, thanks for the contest!!!
