All month long we are celebrating the month of Thanksgiving by showing you how thankful we are for YOU. Last week, we had a contest and also gave away super cool totes to shoppers, and today another contest featuring the lovely yarns of Dragonfly Fibers!
To have a chance at winning these two skeins of cashmere blend Djinni Sock (in Coral Reef and Kensington Farmer's Market), all you have to do is answer the following question in the comments below before noon EST on Saturday, November 21.... What project are you working on today? Tell me the pattern and the yarn you're using and if you have a link to your Ravelry project page, leave that too. Know it's always inspiring for knitters to see what everyone else is working on, even from far off!
Thanks again for joining in our month-long fun! What's up next? Dozens of gorgeous colors of fine merino from Mineville Wool Project in the sale section. Expect this to be added to the sale section as soon as Wednesday, though it could be the end of the week as well. This stuff is a beautiful, lower micron (meaning softer than you expect in a merino) count, and a heavier fingering weight. Could even be used in sport weight sweater and projects if you wanted. SUPERB STUFF and a great price.
Scoreboard KAL with malabrigo worsted.

I am finishing up a pair of plain vanilla socks in Black Lagoon. I'm at the toe & then I start on the ankle warmers I promised my partner. I'm planning on using some worsted weight yarn from my stash - probably WoolEase or Classic Wool. I'm going to knit them like stirrup socks - socks without heel or not of the foot.

Reversible Stripes Scarf from Purl Soho (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/reversible-stripes-scarf-2) in Malabrigo Arroyo, alternating two skeins of Pocion, same dye lot, but different enough shades that alternating them was what drove me to this pattern.
