What's on our needles, a winner and a new giveaway!

It seems our needles are laden with socks at Knitty. Here's what we're knitting right now:

Jillian is knitting 2 socks on 2 circular needles in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport:

Colorway: Rockwell. Please don't notice the boo-boos from knitting in a movie yesterday.

On Kate's needles: two pairs of socks for spring.

There's the Knit Picks' "Time Traveller" colorway – a limited edition from last fall inspired by our favorite Time Traveller, The Doctor .

But which Doctor, 10 or 11?

And a pair of socks in just about the loudest yarn imaginable: Filatura di Crosa Maxime Print in a "citrus circus insanity" (or something). Kate's working them both at the same time on dpns, using the War & Peace inspired method. "I love this method – it guarantees no second sock syndrome, and lots and lots of amazed gasps from other sock knitters."

Amaze your friends! Two socks in one!

Amy's working on her Leftovers vest in Rowan Calmer…the first time she's had the pleasure of making a sweater with this lovely stuff. (pic to come)

Our winner of one large and one small HiyaHiya Interchangeable Needle sets is comment #1779: Patricia Congratulations, and happy knitting!

A bunch of Knitty readers got hit by another winter storm last night. Jillian got 8″ of snow, after having two days in the 50′s F last week.

To help ease the pain of more winter weather we're having a giveaway!

How about a kit to knit the 3 pairs of the Shelburne Mittens in our latest issue?

Cozy mittens for the family!

If chosen, one person will win enough Rowan Felted Tweed Chunky to make 3 pairs of mittens [7 skeins]

This prize is courtesy of the lovely folks at Rowan Yarn and Westminster Fibers.

Here's how to win: leave a comment to this post by Wednesday, February 23, at midnight eastern time, and you could win! We'll choose a winner at random, make them answer a skill-testing question, and post the results next week.

Prize value: $79.60

Good luck, good knitting and keep warm if you're snowy!
