Unicorn Friday: A summer sock yarn giveaway!

A bunch of old co-workers and I used to have a term, Magical Fridays that morphed into Unicorn Fridays ('Cause they are rare and special ...)

I'm wishing you all a Unicorn Friday to begin a Magical Weekend.

To kick it of I'm ready to gift out a hank of Lorna's Lace, Shepard Sock coming in at nice 430 yards. The colorway is fittingly, "Unicorn Parade".


Feel like winning some unicorn love? Just leave me a comment telling me what makes your summer magical and a way to get in touch with you (i.e. Ravelry handle  etc.). I'll draw for it next week Tuesday.

    How generous! I would make a shawl with this so I would have it for a date with my husband at South Beach restaurant when the summer breeze makes the evening magical......

    Isn't that pretty! It has been a unicorn Friday. The stars must have aligned or something. Maybe it's just the beautiful weather we've had since last night.
    This summer is particularly magical because of that sweet little bundle of adorable that arrived on the 9th. Being a grandparent really is your reward for being a parent. Happy magical weekend!

    My magical summers will come to a close soon, because my daughters will be off to do internships and med schools. At least the youngest has one more year of high school before her undergrad. But I fear our family togetherness will be hit or miss in the coming years.

    I like the idea of unicorn Fridays. Please don't enter me; my sock stash is super fat. Magical weekend? Hmmm. I will finally get my lower crown work finished - yay! And then it's oink out time at my brother's as we're celebrating our dad's birthday.

    i think I'v already had the most magical part of the summer when the whole family got together at the beach....only happens every other year and this was 'our' year!! watching 7 little people get along and love each other for 8 days---no blood drawn---is pretty darn magical!

    It's magical because you can see lots of stars sipping wine with your friends at the beach...

    Awww I'm in for the raffle. The yarn is awesome and I am a huge Lorna's Lace fan. Magical summer for me? all of it.
    What is especially magical to me this summer: Fezzik entertains us daily.
    I'm eating more watermelon than ever because its FREE on Weight watchers .More magic: lightening bugs, bike rides , porch time..a.nytime on the screened porch, and being retired. OH that's magic for sure for me

    Heh- I am so stealing that phrase " Unicorn Fridays"!! Love it.
    Brilliant colorway.

    I would have to say the variety of new fruits and vegetables that are available during the summertime are magical to me. Each year they seem to get better and better.

    I love it but I am passing because I am trying desperately to use up the yarn I have already. Hugs to you,

    Thunderstorms make my summer magical. They're just make me feel so small.

    Lovely yarn, but I'll pass on the giveaway.

    The smell of freshly mowed grass, outdoor concerts in the park, and backyard BBQs make summers magical

    OMG, Ellen! That is great yarn!
    Writing and drawing at outdoor cafes make my summer magical. You just can't do that most of the year in Wisconsin!

    Oh that yarn looks like Summer fun! Please don't include me -- I just won yarn from you not that long ago. Our magical summer this year is having our son and his girlfriend within 30 minutes instead of across the state...or earlier, across the world.

    my summer is magical knowing that fall is around the bend. I valiantly put up with the heat and humidity knowing that woolens will once more be pulled out!
