Included in the package is one skein of Misti Alpaca fingering hand painted sock yarn in Senta and Vogue Knitting Socks & Vogue Knitting Socks Two! These are lovely little books with lots of sock patterns.
To enter all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me what knitting goodies you're going to ask for this holiday season! I know I'm gonna ask Santa for a gift certificate from The Loopy Ewe. That's all I've got on my list so far but it's early yet. I'll be using a number generator and drawing a number on Friday, November 25th which is Black Friday. I'm willing to ship internationally so everyone can have a chance to win.
Good luck!
ETA - Make sure you leave me a way to contact you either via email or your Ravelry name!

103 Talk to me:
I want to learn to spin. So I'm asking for some roving and a beginners hand spindle.
I really want a blocking mat and blocking wires.
I would love a subscription to a knitting magazine for Christmas! any suggestions??
My wish list is for KnitPicks interchangable needles, prefer the Harmony.
Dear Santa, Please bring me some acid dyes for dying wool, a jumbo flyer for my Ashford wheel and lots of yummy yarn and fibre!
I'm going to ask for donations to take some entrepreneur classes so I can open a LYS.. I want one to sell great hand spun and hand died yarns, offer classes, sell magazines and books but mostly have a place where knitter can come enjoy each other company and have great conversation while serving coffee, tea and heathly snacks! That what I want for Christmas.. Classes to open my very own business..
Now that my son has deserted me and gone off to college, I need a ball winder and yarn swift!
Dear Santa,
now that I am getting a spinning wheel for my birthday next month, I really could use a loverly chocolate alpaca fleece to spin!
Thanks!

I'd love a spinning wheel from Santa, but some yarn from my favorite independent sellers will do as well!

This is a great giveaway. I have asked for a set of the straight harmony needles for Christmas. I have the circs but sometimes it is niceto have the straights in your hands.
Girleknitwit on rav
I've asked for the new Jane Austin Knits. Anything else and I doubt my family could figure out what I wanted. :-)
I'm sandbar17 on Rav and Twitter.
I'm not asking for anything knitted-related for the holidays. All I want is time so I can make some progress on the blanket I'm making for my fiance and I... and maybe start the pair of socks he asked for 2 years ago.
Oh I've asked Santa for lots of knitting goodies - a Jordana Paige bag, a Namaste bag, a sampler basket from Knit Picks, a swift, a drop spindle beginner kit, new blocking materials, a Knit Picks gift card and a trip to A Good Yarn in Sarasota... yeah, that's pretty much my entire Christmas list right there. The only thing missing was the LightScoop I requested for my camera.. lol.
Not much this year as I have been blessed with much yarn and needles over the years. The only thing I'm asking for are some sock stretchers in my size - cute ones with sheepies would be lovely!

I am wanting to learn how to knit socks, so my on my Christmas list is "sock yarn".

Oh my! Yarn plus sock books! Yum!
I've had a Christmas list going since my birthday in July.
I only ask there be yarn ... But has grown to include Stephen West books, as I am working through book one fast! Now I need to add a skein of Msti Alpaca! It's a dream to work with!
Happy holidays!
For Christmas I am hoping for The Central Park Hoodie Pattern, 2 books: Knitted Fairies by Fiona McDonald & Knitted Pirates, Princesses, Witches, Wizards and Fairies: Create a Magical World
by Annette Hefford and of course some lovely expensive yarns that I would never normally be able to afford to buy on my humble income.
Although I enjoy spending Christmas with the most important people in my life so that's whats the most important!
AThe stitch n bitch Happy Hooker book so I can learn Crochet in the new year.

I would like another set of dpns from Tom/Darn Pretty Needles. Light colored ones, to help me see the stitches when I knit deep-colored socks :)
quinn on rav
I would Like the replacement hub kit for my old louet spinning wheel & some cute project bags. Oh and some nice sock blockers.

Knit Picks interchangeable needles so I am not continually borrowing from my family and friends! Rav amchart
Hi Susie, it's me mcdgg. I want to win your awesome contest! So far I want gift certificates so I can pick out my own yarn, & maybe Clara Parkes new sock book. Thanks, Gina
I'd love a loopy ewe cert, or a knitpicks gift cert, or a simply sock yarn gift cert, heck, I want it ALL
I'm squiggi on ravelry
I'm going to ask for sock yarn and wooden dpns.

I never ask for anything at Christmas but I always wish that I get some lovely yarn! You have a nice blog and it's a great giveaway! Thanks!
I'm hoping for a subscription to next year's Rockin' Sock Club from Blue Moon Fiber Arts! I'd love a Loopy Ewe gift certificate or a BMFA gift certificate also :)
Thanks for the great giveaway!

I really want Santa to bring me an Ashford Joy but I may see about completing my needle collection and getting the sock needles I want from knitpicks. You can contact me at Ravelry as Closeacademy. Great giveaway. Thanks.
I'm asking for sock yarn and some new blocking mats! Also the new Granny Square Love book to help with my new granny square obsession.
I am asking for some yummy hand-dyed sock yarn.
yay! im going to buy myself a spindle for xmas and im asking for some yarn and a knitting mag subscription :) raineoc@yahoo.com
I would love some yummy yarn and I think everyone knows that so I won't really 'ask' for anything.
Sisterrobinson on Ravelry.
i am asking for a gift certificate to knit picks. i can't decide on any one yarn at this time. also, i may not get this because i have too much yarn already. but you can never have too much sock yarn!

I'm gingerly stepping into lace knitting, so I will probably ask for blocking boards and wires this year. Blocking terrifies me...perhaps even more than the actual knitting of lace! :-)
This Christmas, I'm asking for a trip to Rhinebeck next year. It never hurts to plan ahead!!
I'm asking for an electric ball winder and more needles...and maybe free rein to enroll in some more craftsy classes!!
my email is knittygrittydixie (at) gmail (dot) com
I got a ball winder and swift last year, and was super happy. This year, I will be thrilled to receive some blocking wires. I also know that mom will be buying me some yarn :) Thank you for a chance to win!
I'm interested in massive amounts of fingering weight solid yarn or lace weight to start making shawls. This may begin a need to obtain longer circs in teeny sizes. Then it seems I'll need blocking wires and mats too. Good thing my birthday is in February!
I'm debating giving in and asking Santa for a swift. I thought about making my own out of tinker toys, but I'm not sure how effective it would really be. (Zabbers on Rav)
I would LOVE a set of Hiya Hiya interchangeable needles. They're slightly cheaper than addis so perhaps Santa can swing that!
I'm jjlrdomom on Ravelry
What a generous giveaway. The only thing I'm asking for this Christmas is a small digital scale.
I may be asking for a faster flyer for my spinning wheel, along with some Crown Mountain fiber!
I asked Santa to bring me some blocking mats!
- RowdyGirl (Rav)
I've asked Santa for an 36 hour day where I won't get tired so I can knit more! LOL
...and I've asked for sock blockers.
- ennadoolf on ravelry
I am asking Santa for Knitting Inspiration- a class at the LYS, a book of patterns, beautiful local yarn or a set of interchangeable needles.
I want a gift certificate to my LYS! They have a huge sale during the entire month of January - so my money will go 205 further.
Thanks. amyknit40 on rav
A gift card from my lys and a kindle fire for patterns.
I'm asking for a WEBS grab bag this year... I've been *really* good!

Besides a gift certificate to my LYS to support my knitting habit, I am wishing for a loom. I have always wanted to try weaving. Signature needles and world peace would be nice, too.

I'm going to ask for a blocking mat!

I've kinda given up asking for knitting things....I do get knitting books if I ask for them. I always ask for certificates from certain yarn shops - apparently those requests always get overlooked!
I would love some sock blockers and wire.

Thank you for just the chance to win! My Santa wish list is a gift certificate to my LYS.
The biggest item on my holiday wish list I'd a pair of Harmony interchangeable needles from Knit Picks. I hope I get 'em!
I would really love to get a swift for Christmas! I always have someone hold it and it always seems like a burden, so I'd like to unburden them and do it myself!

I added a few stitch dictionaries to my Amazon wish list as well as these flexible blocking wires: http://www.etsy.com/listing/72505042/ultra-fine-silver-tone-lace-blocking. I have the rigid wires from Knit Picks, but sometimes I need them to be more bendy. These are ultra-bendy!

All I have so far is a set of blocking boards.
Im visiting my husbands family in Iowa for Xmas. While his sister visited us this October, I taught her to knit and shes hooked! For Xmas, I asked my husband to let me have a day where he watches the baby while were in Iowa so I can visit the LYS in iowa. There are a couple I want to see and shop in. I want free reign of the store without havinvvto rush and maybe I can fit in a class!
I'm thevintagerose on rav and am vrosevanessa on twitter. Vbaer920@gmail.com
My family knows I love gift certificates to the different lys, so I don't even have to ask any more. I just wait to see which one I'm going to shop in. :-)

I'm asking for more spinning bobbins for my new Pocket Wheel (as I love it so much, it was worth the 9 month wait!) and also asking for gift certificates to my fav LYS for classes and *gasp* yarn sales!!

On my "Dear Santa" list this year is the Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's "All Wound Up", and a gift certificate from my LYS. If I don't keep it simple, I'll end up buying my own Christmas gifts :)
annethologist on Rav
I would love to have a new swift! Mine broke from over use and now it limps along very sadly! I would also love some new sock yarn to help me hone my new found skills! On Ravelry I am ravenknitter! Thanks so much!
I want more yarn of course!
My husband is refurbishing my inherited and currently unusable spinning wheel for Christmas, so I'm asking others for books on spinning and beautiful roving.
I'm not asking for anything 'cause no one will buy me any yarn :( But I am going to treat myself to a lovely skein of some kind of sock yarn.
My Rav name is Knitsensei.
I am asking for a Gift Certificate for Loopy Ewe (I have never ordered from there yet), A trindle, the new SP McPhee book,& the interchangeable needles from WEBS. I think that is all so far but who knows I still got some time lol.
Raeknitsnwa on Ravlery
I'm hoping Santa will be nice and bring me a ball winder! I'm sick of my yarn getting all tangled! dspg2008@gmail.com
I'd love a gift card to Webs...that way I can shop their sales.
I'm asking for knitpicks metal circs...I've been holding off knitting anything that I'd have to buy needles for since May and it's killing me! - Atsirkz on rav
I'm hoping to get a pair of sock blockers but I'll be happy with anything I get.
This yarn is fabulous! I'm hoping that Santa will bring me a new set of interchangables but I'd be happy with a kiss under the mistle toe!
Good luck to all that joined
@knitty_kat
I would love some wooden circular needles and some Madelinetosh wool (but it costs a fortune here in the UK). I'd also love Ysolda Teague's whimsical little knits book. Please Santa, please....love your blog btw, you are very talented.

I want a gift certificate to my LYS - they just got in some beautiful ceramic knitting bowls to hold your yarn while you knit. I think it would be perfect to keep mine away from the inevitable dog hair that I pick up as my pup likes to sit close while I knit!
Thank you for the opportunity!
griffgirls on ravelry
I love those little books too! I have quite a few of them, except not the socks ones.
I'm not asking for any yarny-goodies this year. But I did tell my mom that if anyone asks what to get me, I want money to put aside for a spinning wheel! Rhinebeck 2012, here I come!
I've asked for sock blockers and two sock books, The Joy of Sox and Sock Knitting: Master Class
zinister on ravelry
