Crap! It's Thursday!
Still dealing with the cold, and the tube strikes delaying my trip home have meant that Wednesday completely slipped my mind, but nonetheless, here is the next prize for the Trailwalker 2009 Team Geek Prize Draw!
Not long ago Alice held one of her first ever trunk shows at Socktopus, and that was when I met the lovely Debbie of Skein Queen. We got to chatting about the mad thing I am doing with Trailwalker, and she said, "Oh, are you running a prize draw? Would you like something?"
And she handed me this:
A skein of Elegance in Dusky Passion.
This yarn is an incredibly silky-soft blend of merino, bambo, silk and nylon and feeling just absolutely amazing. It knits up to a chubby 4-ply - the label says 4 ply plus/sport - and there's 385 yards in the skein, so plenty for a luxurious pair of socks, or a delicate shoulder shawl!
And the colour! The colour is a beautiful mixof dusky pink, pink, peach and pale rust, and I utterly adore it. But I won't keep it. It's for you to win!
So keep the donations coming! I've got one more prize to show you next week, and then I'll show you them all again, and then it won't be much longer before I'm setting off with Team Geek from the starting point to cover the 100km to Brighton!
