Okay, so one sock down, no problem. I love the fit and feel of this yarn. And of course the colors are awesome! So I weighed the sock on my fancy dandy postal scale and it came out 28g, eek, thinking that I only had 50g to start with. I then weighed what was left of the ball and it was 24g pretty net-o, I had 52g to work with. But here is the dilemma, what the heck am I going to do if I don’t make it since I don’t have any more of this yarn? I’m still gonna go for it, I do have some Trekking XXL 100 I can embellish into this sock, I’ll keep ya’ll posted.

What’s left…

A comparison with another 50g ball…

Hehe my fancy new sock, and lookie here, me trying to be artsy posing the sock in a tree.

A simple pic to marvel at the awesome colors…

A few of ya’ll got it right on. Especially you Trish, being the first post and all. I thought, oh crap, game over.
It is indeed Fortissima Colori Socka Color 50g ball/skein Farbe/Color 2419. It does look very similar to Trekking XXL Ombre 100. Check out some of the awesome socks knit with the Fortisssima Colorway

My 3 correct guessers are:
Trish
Jen
Shannon

Shaking folded pieces of paper in my cup…the first piece to fall out will be it…pieces of paper flying in the air (okay not really that dramatic, just wanted to create a good scene)

And the winner is…

TRISH! (sent you and e-mail)

Once again, thanks to everyone who entered and played. You all are so awesome. Keep an eye out, I have another silly game in mind for May and the winnings will be even better.

Will post awesome pics of the finished sock. When I wake up…long night…need sleep…but had to post winner…

I really like how the colors turned out and I’ve already started on the second one. These socks will break me into the world of fraternal twins. I’m a matcher and this is a big step since having non-matching socks kind of put me awry.

I just wanted to thank everyone who played my silly game. I really enjoyed the guesses, and some behind the scene messages.    You know who you are.  I’ll be posting the sock information tomorrow morning when I get home from work and of course the lucky winner will be announced. 

Aright. So here is my silly contest that I think may be some fun. If you can guess the brand and color (farbe) of the yarn I’m currently knitting with I would love to send you a skein of the supper fab Trekking XXL 100. And I know the image is in the post just below, but here it is again…

Saturday night will be the cut off and I will post about the winner on Sunday. If no one guesses correctly, I will put everyone’s name in some sort of container and randomly pick. Have fun, and thanks for playing my silly game.

ETA: Just to add a bit more variety. If the winner already has the Trekking XXL 100, how about a skein of Austermann Step? Ya know, the fancy yarn with Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil infused in it. It is really soft to the touch. So if you’re the lucky winner, you get to pick your prize.

Just to keep things a little interesting for me, I thought I’d see how far I could go. I have one cake, just a mere 50g ball of a color I really like. I have small feet, so I was thinking, since I know I can crank out a pair of footies with one 50g ball, what about actual socks? Ya know with cuff + leg + gusset + heel + foot + and toes. I’ll see how far the yardage will take me. Stats about the yarn I’m using will be disclosed at a later date, I’m sort of devising a game plan with it (possible contest in the near future). Here’s my progress so far… I’m really liking the colors a lot.

just adding a little green to the page.
