12 Days of Sock Yarn Starts SOON!

On Monday we will start our annual holiday celebration of all things sock yarn with the 12 Days of Sock Yarn! For the 8th year, we are celebrating our exclusive yarny holiday at Simply Socks Yarn Company here on the blog. From Dec 4 through Dec 15 you have a chance to win a special prize each day.

In the past, we have started this a couple weeks later. This year, I'm doing something special- instead of giving away just a skein or two or a project bag, we are giving away a specially curated gift set each day. More goodies = more FUN! We are starting the holiday early this year so the winner can get her or his prize well before Christmas.

How can you join in? Simply visit the SSYC Blog every day from Dec. 4 through Dec. 15 and answer the questions in the comments section before 8am the following day, when the new contest is posted. You'll automatically be entered to win the gift shown for that day. If you participate each day, you'll have a dozen chances to win (one chance per day). And yes, you can win more than one day! It has happened in the past!

You don't have to participate in any particular holiday to win anything- you just have to want some awesome free yarn or goodies. I'll post winners in January, and you'll also get an e-mail if you've won a prize.

Are there any questions (knitting or not) you'd like to see asked one of the 12 days? Tell me in the comments below, and try and I'll add them to the list of questions. I've added some awesome holiday traditions to my life over the past few years because of your suggestions, and I really enjoy reading through everything you post. And I love giving out 12 days of prizes!

Here are a few examples of what we are gifting this year each day:

Here's a link to one of the contest days last year if you'd like to see what this is like. Please do join us starting on Monday!

You are so generous! You have great giveaways.

[Lara]

Wow! What amazing gifts. You sure know how to spoil someone. It will be great just to see what your planning and borrow your ideas.

[Donna]

What great prizes!!! You're so good at putting kits together. This is a simple question but I'd love to read the replies: what is your favorite sock yarn & why?

[Jessica]

Oh fun! Those kits look beautiful. I would like to know what everyone's favorite Christmas cookie is and what their favorite family / activity to do with young kids is.

[Anne]

So fun! I love reading the responses. I like hearing about knitters favorite projects for the year and holiday traditions

I'm pretty sure you have asked this question in the past but I always like to find out what a knitter's fave tips and tricks are. I learn so much that way! Thank you for doing your 12 Days of Sock Yarn. It's a lot of fun but I'm certain it's a lot of work for SSYC :)
