Contest – Sock Yarn Haiku

It was suggested to me that a new blog needs a celebration. How do you celebrate a blog? Well, by having a contest! And not just any contest. This contest is a haiku contest. Write your best haiku about sock yarn, and I will pick someone to win this lovely skein of hand-dyed (by me!) sock yarn. It’s not the most perfect dye-job in the world, as I am still learning. But the colors are fun (if you like green, that is… if you hate green, I have a couple more undyed hanks that I could give a shot at dyeing in the colors you like. No guarantees, though), and hey.. it’s sock yarn!

This is a lovely skein, dyed in green, blue and yellow, and completely overdyed in green. It is a 75% Superwash Merino Wool/25% Nylon blend, with 462 yards (422 meters) in the skein.

If you’re not sure what a haiku is, here is the dictionary definition:

noun: An unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively.

Here is an example:

Sock yarn in my stash
Lovingly dyed with kool-aid
Delicious color.

Easy… leave a comment with your haiku in it, and you’re automatically entered! I will run the contest through May 15th, and on the 16th I will choose a winner. Winner will be completely subjective… I pick the one I like the best! I’ll need your email address or a link to your blog to notify you if you’re the winner.

Thanks for visiting!

Update, May 8: I have added a matching set of stitch markers to the prize!
