Edited to add, this kit has sold out, but check back on Friday to see next week's TWO kits! And scroll down for the contest!
If you'd like a sweetly spooky Knit Kit this Halloween, now's your chance- the Sweet Skeleton Knit Kit is now available!
I do expect this one to sell quite quickly, like within a couple hours. Not only is it super cute but is a great price for a kit with a hand made bag and Irish yarn. Our Halloween kits do seem to be the most coveted. I do have two more coming next week and I'll have details of those later this week here on the blog.
If you are in the US and want to take advantage of free shipping with your $85 order, or you're International and just want to get the most bang for your flat shipping rate, here are some things that are new that you might flip for.
Julia at Knitterly Things has sent us some Vesper Halloween stripes! Here's are two that I adore:
And don't forget the newest dyer, Flock Fibre Studio, that I blogged about on Monday. SO MANY awesome color choices on their sock and singles bases!
Blue Moon Fiber Arts has sent a slew of new colors on Socks that Rock Lightweight too. Like Plumpy Sun Angel and Goodbye Kitty
And if you made it all the way through this post, you deserve the chance at a treat! If you tell me in the comments below what your favorite two colors are from Flock Fibre Studio, I'll randomly choose two commenters to win the two skeins you love. You can choose Lone Pine Singles or Take a Hike sock yarn. Just list the two you like best in the comments below before noon EST on Friday, October 6. One comment per person please. If you'd like to also share the pattern you'd use them for, that would be a great inspiration to others, I'm sure!
Aquifer and Lakeshore are my top two choices, with Larkspur running a close third.
Posted by: Lara | October 04, 2017 at 10:24 AM
This was hard, but I would choose Parrotfish and Coy Koi. I also love the name Wild Ponies.
Posted by: Megan | October 04, 2017 at 10:29 AM

Posted by: Kathy Hartzog | October 04, 2017 at 10:43 AM
They're all beautiful colors, so it was hard to decide, but my top two picks would be Parrotfish and Amethyst.
Posted by: Anne Pozerycki | October 04, 2017 at 10:44 AM
Lakeshore and Geranium Kisser! Love those two.

Wild Ponies and Singles in a Heartbeat. Love the colors and the names.
Posted by: Susie | October 04, 2017 at 10:50 AM
Beautiful colors. I would choose Lone Pine Singles in Puppy Love and Weathervane. I would make Ambah O’Brien’s new shawlnpattern Arya.
Posted by: Diana | October 04, 2017 at 10:50 AM
Koi and Alpenglow are gorgeous! Thank you!
Posted by: Vicki | October 04, 2017 at 10:53 AM
I like wild ponies and antique shop in the singles. Very hard to choose my favourite colours.
Posted by: Liisa | October 04, 2017 at 10:53 AM
Coy Koi and Puppy Love! LOVE!!
Posted by: Malinda | October 04, 2017 at 10:54 AM
I keep trying to sign in, but nothing works. OK, here goes anyway. How can we possibly pick two? They're all so gorgeous! OK, Pixie Dust and Antique Shop. There. I've made a decision. But it was TOUGH.
Posted by: Hazel Blumberg-McKee | October 04, 2017 at 10:55 AM
I like Coy Poi and Wild Ponies
Posted by: LP Starr | October 04, 2017 at 10:56 AM
Patina and Parrotfish. 🖤💙
Posted by: Sarah Oster | October 04, 2017 at 10:56 AM
My two favorites in Take A Hike are Antique Shop and Patina.
Posted by: Abigail Warach | October 04, 2017 at 10:57 AM
Blueberry Girl or Pixie Dust but it was hard to choose
Posted by: Susan | October 04, 2017 at 10:57 AM
I love Antique shop and Parrotfish, but it was a tough choice.
Posted by: Linda Hanford | October 04, 2017 at 10:58 AM
Blueberry Girl and Parrotfish are my favs.
Posted by: Mary | October 04, 2017 at 10:59 AM
Take a hike.....yumy...... I would make a pair of "crazy eights" socks...
Posted by: sharon hoyer | October 04, 2017 at 10:59 AM
Coy koi and singles roasted pumpkin although I do think all of them are beautiful and I would be happy with any of them! Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway! :-)
Posted by: Kate/Massachusetts | October 04, 2017 at 11:00 AM
flowering desert and blueberry girl
Posted by: Anna | October 04, 2017 at 11:01 AM
Mm. Flowering desert and pond scum. How lovely!!
Posted by: Laura Ricketts | October 04, 2017 at 11:03 AM
Must just pick two?? Pond scum, which sounds disgusting, but is always beautiful, but... for my favorites today, I choose:
Lakeshore and Patina
Posted by: Lee Louise | October 04, 2017 at 11:03 AM
Alpenglow and Lakeshore are my favorites because they remind me of my favorite Takhlakh Lake on the shores of Mt. Adams in WA state, where the Alpenglow is spectacular. Socks from these two would warm my feet and heart all Winter long.
Posted by: Diana McAnally | October 04, 2017 at 11:05 AM
Pond Scum and Parrotfish are my favorites. Close running is Flowering Desert. They are all beautiful
Posted by: Debra Sweeney | October 04, 2017 at 11:07 AM
Oh my gosh antique shop and patina are perfect inbtake a hike! 😍 (heart eyes!)
Posted by: Jenn H | October 04, 2017 at 11:08 AM
I really like Antique Shop and Silver Lining on Take a Hike. I think they'd be great in one of Joji Locatelli's 2-color designs like Pure Joy or Girl in the Grocery Store!
Posted by: Lizzie | October 04, 2017 at 11:09 AM
Parrot Fish and Princess Tiger cub!!
Posted by: Deb Zurawski | October 04, 2017 at 11:10 AM
Amethyst and patina.
Posted by: Katie Marsh | October 04, 2017 at 11:12 AM
I adore Parrotfish and Geranium Kisser. And I have been obsessed for some time now with toe up socks, so I would do a basic toe up with a stockinette foot and a ribbed cuff. That should let the beauty of the yarn shine through!
Posted by: Gina Kostoff | October 04, 2017 at 11:13 AM
I am over-the-moon about the Tulip Festival colorway! I absolutely love tulips and it is on my "bucket list" to do a bicycling tulip tour of Holland...with a lovely shawl on my shoulders!
The COY KOI is also amazing - I love that they added splashes of pink to the usual blue-green-orange.
Posted by: Kiki Westcliffe | October 04, 2017 at 11:13 AM
Wow-hard choice as they are all really cool. In the Take a Hikeline, I really like the Pond Scum and the Princess Tiger Cub. No pattern, just a "vanilla" sock for MEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Posted by: Phyllis | October 04, 2017 at 11:15 AM
I love Blueberry Girl ( for my one daughter that eats more than she picks), and Princess Tiger Cub (for my fierce youngest daughter). All the colors are absolutely loved belt!
Posted by: Shannon | October 04, 2017 at 11:16 AM
I think Pixie Dust and Parrotfish are my favorites, but it's so hard to choose!
Posted by: Lynn N. | October 04, 2017 at 11:17 AM
Hard choice! But I narrowed it down to Parrotfish an Blueberry Girl
Posted by: Linda L | October 04, 2017 at 11:17 AM
I love Antique Shop and Parrot Fish on sock. So awesome, and unlike anything I have in my stash.
Posted by: Tara | October 04, 2017 at 11:17 AM
Aquifer and Robin's Egg are my favorites--Take A Hike Sock looks just fabulous! Such wonderful colors.
Posted by: Susan Ipavec | October 04, 2017 at 11:17 AM
Patina is lovely, and although I don't usually knit with red, I'd find it hard to resist Geranium Kisser, based on the name alone!
Posted by: mellenknits | October 04, 2017 at 11:19 AM
Coy Koi and Pond Scum. Together they look beautiful!
Posted by: Margot | October 04, 2017 at 11:19 AM
Parrotfish & Princess Tiger but ALL are spectacular!!
Posted by: Knit Happenz | October 04, 2017 at 11:19 AM
They are all just gorgeous but I think Snow Leopard and Silver Lining would make a lovely shawl!
Posted by: Carolyn Ensminger | October 04, 2017 at 11:23 AM
The LP singles in honey and the sun and antique show would be perfect for Steven west's striped esjan!
Posted by: Chelsea | October 04, 2017 at 11:25 AM
Wild Ponies and Parrotfish! Hard to choose ! They are all so lovely!
Posted by: Gerri | October 04, 2017 at 11:31 AM
Antique Shop and Amethyst!
Posted by: Debbie Hammer | October 04, 2017 at 11:33 AM
My word that was hard!
Antique shop & honey followed closely by Patina & pond scum!
Posted by: Hillary Halsema | October 04, 2017 at 11:33 AM
Wild Ponies and Pixie Dust are my two favorites. I would make a simple stockinette crew or turtleneck sweater out of either one, to let the yarn shine.
Posted by: Ellen | October 04, 2017 at 11:40 AM
I'd be hard put to choose between Alpenglow and Princess Tiger!
Posted by: Barbara Seiver | October 04, 2017 at 11:42 AM
So many wonderful colorways! I'd choose Princess Tiger and Pixie Dust. Either would make a wonderful show on my feet.
Posted by: Martina | October 04, 2017 at 11:44 AM
In a Heartbeat and Lakeshore are my favourites!
Posted by: Hazel Swoboda | October 04, 2017 at 11:44 AM
So many beautiful choices, but I'm going to go with In a Heartbeat and Pixie Dust. I just bought Zarya from Ambah O'Brien, and I think these would be perfect in either base.
Posted by: Jeri Jahns | October 04, 2017 at 11:44 AM
I love the heartbeat & pixie dust!! They're beautiful!
Posted by: Kelly Spears | October 04, 2017 at 11:45 AM
Ooh! Wild Ponies and Spiced Pecan on Lone Pine Singles would be exquisite!
Posted by: Linsey | October 04, 2017 at 11:45 AM
So many to choose from! I would love to add any of them to my stash. It was difficult but I love PUPPY LOVE (something sweet for a baby girl-I seem to know a lot of pregnant people right now) and WISHING WELL. You can never have too many socks on the needles. Would love to see how they knit up!.
Posted by: Kelli L | October 04, 2017 at 11:46 AM

Posted by: Jessica | October 04, 2017 at 11:54 AM

Posted by: Teresa Harriman | October 04, 2017 at 12:15 PM

Posted by: Candice | October 04, 2017 at 12:19 PM
I really like Blueberry Girl and Pixie Dust.
Posted by: Merrill | October 04, 2017 at 12:23 PM
I love a lot of the colors! But I’m going to go with blueberry girl and princess tiger. The speckles are my go to right now.
Posted by: Amy Hufford | October 04, 2017 at 12:24 PM
Mine are Alpenflow and In A Heartbeat. They are all great.
Posted by: Brenda McBride | October 04, 2017 at 12:28 PM
I love spiced pecans and antique shop

Parrotfish & Robin's Egg!
Posted by: Michelle | October 04, 2017 at 12:48 PM
It's so hard to decide! I pick TaH Sock Geranium Kisser and TaH Parrot Fish.
Posted by: Gwen E Rigdon | October 04, 2017 at 12:50 PM
Princess Tiger and Antique Shop - WOW!
Posted by: Michelle Lange | October 04, 2017 at 12:54 PM
Tulip Festival and Parrotfish are both stunners
Posted by: Thea | October 04, 2017 at 12:56 PM
FLOWERING DESERT AND WILD PONIES BELONG TOGETHER. ALWAYS
Posted by: LESLIE | October 04, 2017 at 12:59 PM
Silver Lining and Weathervane on LP Singles are my choice. I'd like to make the Annisa Wrap by Ambah O'Brien or the Zarya shawl. Thanks for the fun!
Posted by: Debbie | October 04, 2017 at 01:00 PM
I love the Coy Koi and Pixie dust in the Take a Hike line. Not sure what pattern I would make though...
Posted by: Kate | October 04, 2017 at 01:04 PM
Princess Tiger Cub and Rubellite are two colors I may not be able to live without!!
Posted by: Karen Marasia | October 04, 2017 at 01:12 PM
I like Parrotfish and Antique shop, but there are so many great ones!
Posted by: Cindy Smith | October 04, 2017 at 01:12 PM
I think Singles in Alpenglow and Roasted Pumpkin would work beautifully together in a shawl!
Posted by: Julie JC | October 04, 2017 at 01:12 PM
So many to choose from, I'm sure my choice would change every time I look at them! Today, I'm loving Honey in the Sun with Antique Shope.
Posted by: Richelle CK | October 04, 2017 at 01:14 PM
You're killing me! Well, just my budget and my vow to stop buying yarn for a while lol. Flowering Desert..that is gorgeous. Wild Ponies would go perfect with it in a shawl of some kind. The names even go together! I've never even knitted a shawl yet, although I have yarn and patterns for at least 3 that I can think of at the moment.
Posted by: Wendy Chase | October 04, 2017 at 01:15 PM
Another tough choice! So many pretties! I settled on Snow Leopard and Geranium Kisses.
Thank you for the contest!
Posted by: Jan | October 04, 2017 at 01:15 PM
I would have to choose Spiced Pecans and Tulip Festival in Take a Hike. These skeins would go to a good home where much love and petting would be incurred prior to project making.. just saying
Posted by: Natalie | October 04, 2017 at 01:17 PM
I like parrotfish and pond scum. It's hard to choose.
Posted by: Katherine Condliffe | October 04, 2017 at 01:18 PM
