My favoruite thing to knit is afghans, any blanket I love to knit.
My absolute favorite thing to knit is socks. I love that they are portable, and I find they are perfect for trying out new techniques on. I honestly wish I could say sweaters, because then I would be warm all winter long.
My favorite thing to knit is socks and sweaters.
I followed this blog already!
What lovely colours, I love knitting shawls for myself and bits for my hubby. Hes just so knittable for as he loves his jumpers and cardis and says you cant have enough hand knits
Good luck everyone on the give away *hugs* Woolytanis on raverly
This yarn looks like it would make a lovely shawl
I follow the blog! And I am usually into knitting scarves and shawls but moved on to cardigans recently. never tried socks yet, but there is still time!
At the moment I love to knit hexipuffs for my beekeepers quilt, there is something so satisfying in churning these out and I love all the colors I can knit them in.
I’m a fairly new knitter but so far I love knitting cardigans or jumpers (or the idea of knitting cardigans or jumpers, I’m on my first one)!
I love to knit socks and recently have added shawlettes to my always on the needle project.
I just learned to knit socks this year and they are fun. Everyone loves a colorful pair of socks. I also like hats. It is hard to pick when a person just loves to knit!
I like to knit cute accessories, hats, mug cosies and dish cloths with interesting designs. I just took a sock class last weekend so I’m now well on my way to finishing my 1st pair of socks…I can see them becoming my latest craze
Socks, socks, socks!
Right now I am in knitting scarfs. shawls, and lots of charity knitting. I am trying to knit my first pair of socks. There are always so many things to knit. The yarns are so petty. One could be an artist just by knitting!
My favorite thing to knit -is whatever I am working on at the moment. I am a single thing knitter. That is I do not have several things going at once. I get too overwhelmed working on that and thinking about this. So I do one thing at a time!
Here is always room for those lonely balls of sock yarn, there are most welcome
Happy knitting for all of you! Ciao, Fleur (Fleurtje-Eliza on Ravelry)

My favorite thing to knit is hats, that ball of wool would be perfect for one.
My favorite thing to knit is a baby sweater. Quick to make, uses very little yarn, and everyone loves how cute they are. I’ve made over a dozen in the past year, trying out different patterns, stitches, and colors.
i just started following your blog.i love knitting socks and slippers,but lately i’ve gotten into knitting cowls and matching fingerless mitts.several sets are in the works for this years christmas presents.i just love the color of the sock yarn! thanks for the giveaway!
I like knitting things for babies. Quick and sweet. Instant gratification.
I like knitting socks and things for babies & kids. I guess my favorite knits aren’t which things, but what techiques I use. I like knitting in the round. I like knitting with needles smaller than US8′s. I like cables and lace. I don’t like bulky knits. I’m not crazy about endless miles of stockinette (especially flat with so much purling, I’ll “knit backwards if that’s the case”). I don’t like things with a lot of seaming. I do like texture.
I’m taking a sock knitting class at my LYS and I think I’m obsessed! Can’t wait to start the next sock, and the next pair, and the next….
Ohh, I am sure I would find good use for this lovely yarn! My favorite thing to knit at the moment are socks. I never get tired og knitting them!
Until this summer socks were my favorite to knit. I’ve been knitting lace scarves and shawls and can’t seem to stop! The sock yarn would be beautiful in any of these items.
I love to knit little baby things. The projects go fast because they’re so small. That makes them a nice little break while I’m working on a big or difficult project. That skein of yarn would make a nice little something for the new baby that I heard a niece is expecting.
My favorite thing to knit is whatever I’m working on! Sometimes I love socks; sometimes I love sweaters; sometimes I love scarves and shawls. I am currently loving some gloves that would look very interesting in a self-striping yarn.
Very pretty! But why is it called butt? LOL
I’m following your blog. Thanks!
Baby clothes! But then there’s a little one on the way for October (my girlfriend’s) so yes, I have baby things on the brain!
Socks are my favorite!!
I am a subscriber.
My favorite thing to knit are toys. I have made a bunch.
I knitting I am learning,but I love to crochet anything,hats,ornaments,bookmarks,garlands…everything.Lovely colors of yarn,thanks for the chance to win it.
My favorite thing to knit is whatever is on the needles at the moment. I love to change it up to keep it more interesting.
Thank you for the super giveaway.
I’m afraid I can’t give a favorite knitting project. I usually love what I’m knitting at the time and if not, I change to something else. Latley I’ve been knitting fingerless mitts, toys, preemie hats, and soon it will be a Christmas ornament. I love them all.
I already am a follower of your blog.
Hard question but I do think it is sweaters. I love wearing them so I love to knit them too. I do love to do a sock between sweaters though.
My favourite thing to knit is socks – there’s a huge variety of options, they’re useful, and there aren’t usually too many ends to weave in.
I love to knit monsters, but have learned to make socks this year and have already made 6 pairs! I need to make three more for Christmas too. I also enjoy making shawls.
I don’t see this as socks, but as a light shawl/scarf to drape around the shoulders. It would be lovely.
I like knitting felted slippers…and sweaters. Socks are fun too sometimes, and fingerless gloves and hats. I just like to knit! My favorite part is seeing it progress and taking shape. Instead of just being a flat piece of fabric it becomes 3 dimensional. I also am amazed at how you can create cables and patterns emerge by doing a few increases, decreases and switching a few stitches around.
I love to knit shawls and hats. Fingerless gloves are fun too. It is so stress relieving to make something.

I love to knit a lot of things. Right now I am making mittens and hats to be given to the local shelter this winter. Smaller projects are perfect to try out new techniques. I think that lacy shawls will so appear on my horizon. Thanks for this opportunity.

been crocheting lately making toe socks, book marks, dishcloths,and scubies
Lovely colors in the sock yarn. How many skeins do you need to make a pair of socks? I just bought a sock loom and I’m eager to try my hand (foot) at it. Thanks.
I have found that what ever project I am knitting on that the time is my favorite. With that being said socks are my all time favorite!
I love to knit baby clothing and afghans, but lately have been knitting lots dish/wssh cloths to give away as farewell mementos at my retirement party in December 2012.
Shawls are my favorite thing to knit, but socks are a close second!
My mom is 87 and on a fixed income. She is the knitter in our family. I did knit, with her help, a sweater once, but it would have fit Paul Bunyan it was so huge. We found out later it was a flaw in the pattern. I buy yarn for my mom since I never did try to knit again.
I like to knit accessories such as little bags, jewellery and hair accessories although I did have a lot of fun knitting my first poncho/shawl last year.
How nice of you! My favorite things to make are toys and stuffies for my grandchildren.
Scarves and socks have been what I’ve toted around. This summer though I’ve been making crocheted flowers as a bow for gifts. We have been selling them at Vacation Bible School and all proceeds go to the kids/families in Guatamala thru Common Hope.
I can’t choose between the many ideas that yarn conjurs up!
This yarn looks wonderful. It makes me want to try knitting a pair of socks. I haven’t done any knitting for over 12 years. I have just picked up my crocheting again and knitting could be just around the corner with yarn like this.
Right now I’m really enjoying knitting socks!
I follow your blog

I love crocheting just about anything. Love the colors of this yarn.
