Happy birthday contest! Ok, folks! Yarn giveaway contest alert! :)

mixedupbeauty.net turns one year old on May 11, 2007! (Everybody now, sing happy birthday to the little domain…go on!) To commemorate it, I’m giving away yarn. Again. :D (I feel like I’m always giving away yarn!)

Here’s the rule, and I say rule because I think there’s only one, lol. Leave a comment on this post and guess how many sock yarns are in my stash. This includes balls/skeins/hanks/whatever is sock yarn, guess how many I have total and whoever guesses the correct number (or comes the closest) gets to choose one of the yarns in the photo (they’re all sock yarns, naturally)!

Pictured from left to right are:
Lisa Souza Sock! Merino in Earth Birth
Interlacements Tiny Toes in Tapestry (2)
Fleece Artist Merino in Mermaid

I have two skeins of Tiny Toes, but I’m giving them away together since you need two for a pair of socks. :) I think that’s it. Let the guessing begin! oh, and Ravelry people…don’t try to cheat by looking at my stash list because I haven’t listed all my sock yarns there yet. ;) well, I suppose you could take a peek…but you’ll still have to guess since I know that’s not all my sock yarn!

The contest begins right now (it’s currently Thursday night) and ends Saturday night. I’ll post the winner on Sunday.

Happy birthday, mub.net! :)
