**Giveaway closed - congratulations Nikki and Sheryl!**
Sheesh, she promises a giveaway, and then runs away!! Sorry about that - a bit of a technical glitch, and a 4+ hour battle trying to get a tangle of yarn undone, and well between that and everyday life around here...time goes by!
(please excuse the crappy taken-at-night-without-decent-lighting photos...I hope to replace them with daytime versions tomorrow!)
I really agonised over what to include in my giveaway...I'm not at all sure who my readers are yet really, and maybe I shouldn't do something so specific, yadda yadda yadda. I seriously overthink things sometimes. And if you could only see the list of possible gifties that I flip flopped over. I even lost sleep over this, Really. I need to get out more. (Though on the good side, I will most definitely be doing a few more of these down the road, and yay, I already have a list of ideas!)
So, if you would like a brand new and shiny copy of Twisted Sisters Sock workbook and your choice of the silk/merino blend sock yarns in the pic - hand dyed by moi in either Persephone (spearmint greens) or Dionysus (Amethyst, purples and a shot of blue), please just leave a comment, telling me a little about yourself...and your approach to nasty tangled knotty messes - negotiate or snip?
Good luck - I'll close the comments for this on Monday night my time, and we'll draw a name on Tuesday. Oh, and I'm happy to ship anywhere, so everyone's welcome!
Hi Jolie
I'm Sheryl or Shortly online :)
I blog over at Shortly Stitches, and came across your blog from Ravelry on the Aussie Designers group. I've been reading your blog a couple of months now. I'm a fellow Kiwi, and SAHM to three kids 12, 3, and 1.
Tangly messes of the yarn type I tend to negotiate where possible, and snip where utterly unavoidable. I've been down this path a few too many times lately, and will be tying more dividers down skeins I am dyeing in the future!!

So you know about me. I'm kinda like you... working out how to do this mum thing when a boy and girl born at the same time. And trying to squeeze a bit of creative something in between that!
Negotiate or snip? There is one answer - snip. While it's floss and not yarn, see the hair on the doll on my blog header.. that was tangled embroidery floss. Snip snip and it's hair!
