You know that skein of blue-green Riata I said I was giving away? Welllllll, I don't seem to have it. This makes sense, if I think about it, as I used 2.5 to make Snow White and I only had 3. Hmmm. I don't know where I thought that other skein was to materialize from.
So the new prize is just as nice - and I have confirmed these are, in fact, both in my stash as I just photographed them now:
A choice of
one 570 yard skein of Tess Designer Yarns Superwash Merino (that you may recognize from the Cable Down Raglan I made with it)- this would be enough for a tank top or a lovely scarf. It can be doubled to get a chunky gauge as I did for the Burnished Tunic, with its sister yarn in a variegated brown colorway.
or one 500 yard skein of the now-discontinued and oh-so-rare Brooks Farm Harmony (made the Simple Knitted Bodice with it) - it is a butter-soft blend of mohair (55%), wool (22.5%) and silk (22.5%). I think it would make a lovely small shawl or super soft scarf or even tank top.
Sorry for the mixup and I hope no one is too upset about the change. You can leave a comment on either this post or the original one to be entered into the contest. Meanwhile, I'm curled up into a little ball trying to recover enough from last night's party to gear up for tonight's party. Ugh. I had thought the work party would be tame, and the one tonight would be wild. I had it backwards. I was fine until they started in with the shots. I had remembered tequila as being one of the better shots to do, if I had to do one. I remembered wrong.
Shots, ouch. I would be curled up in a ball too if I had done shots last night. I hope you feel better before the party tonight!

You are too sweet to offer up free yarn! How can I resist? That Superwash Merino looks faboo!

Shots. More power to you. I can't do them at all. I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. I did impress myself after having a drink on a empty stomach that I actually felt fine so I might be getting better.
I hope you recover soon.
The yarn is truly beautiful. You collect stuff that I've never gotten to see in person. Maybe this year at Stitches I will.

I love tne new choices. Tequila will sneak up on you and do a number on you, especially the next day. Hope you feel better. You might want to try some greasy fries. It always works

Both yarns are lovely- no one could dare complain! Hope you recover soon!

I am constantly thinking I have more (or less!) of a particular yarn than I do. which I find when I go stash diving for it....Now if I could just get off my behind and enter it into my stash on Ravelry the problem might be contained. but,well, you know...

Thanks for offering; very kind of you. One of the most horrible hangovers I ever had was due to tequila. I wish you well.

Oh, I have to agree with the others about Tequila. It is an evil drink - I can attest to that!! Hope you feel better soon!
And as for the yarn giveaway - wow, you are generous! When I saw it was Tess Designer Yarn, I HAD to leave a comment. I am in Australia and getting that type of yarn is a tad difficult, so if the random draw showed up my comment (we could work out postage, of course!), I would be a very happy girl!
Cheers

Oh, and you can't just do one…
No wonder you're curled up in a ball! Sorry.

That is funny about the yarn!
Tequila gives the worst hangover ever! Vodka....not so bad!

WOW! 41 comments and I'm #42 (if you count both yesterday and today's posts). LOL
I am sorry to hear you're having issues with tequila. I love Cabo Wabo tequila...it's just divine. But it'll kick you in the pants the next day!! :)

I confess... I am a lurker! The yarn is too pretty to stay silent. I enjoy your blog and admire your ability to turn out the projects so quickly. Thanks for the giveaway!

LOL out about the tequila shots! I've been kicked in the butt by them myself! Hope your feeling better!
