Hi! I just stumbled on this site; I've been nervous about knitting socks, but I think the time has come to put fear aside! :) The contest sounds terribly cool - am I stupidly missing a link or somesuch?
Thanks very much!
ooooh...Panda Silk!! Sounds so heavenly!! Would love to try it. :)
Panda panda! I was in 8th grade when the Chinese sent us the first Panda for the washington dc zoo. Ling ling. I would LOVE some pandayarn.
Fun contest.

I haven't seen the colors, but so far the Panda yarns and crystal palace are just the best! So if I win, lol, I'll take any color(s)!
I'm being horribly greedy, and would love to enhance my stash with some silk. I'm rather fond of silk :).

Panda Silk sounds wondeful! I have used Panda wool and Panda cotton so far and love them, so winning Panda Silk would be awesome. Thanks! Melodie
love the socks - love the yarns gotta work the stash down before I am allowed to spend $ - or maybe christmas gifts for me!!
I'm glad the Panda Silk doesn't have the stretch in it. It's great for socks but limits the other uses of the yarn.
Yum! Panda silk - sounds delish! I want to find out!
I would dearly love to try the panda silk yarn. Love those colors.
Please enter me in your drawing for the Panda Silk.
Thanks!
Such pretty yarn! Wouldn't I love to knit a pair of socks with it!

Oooh, I just took a look at the Panda Silk and now I have a case of yarn lust! I love the colors; it's going to be difficult to choose which one to buy first.
I was checking out your blog after your post on the socknitters group regarding mini-cables (one of my favorite stitches, too!), and just happened upon this contest. What a wonderful surprise!
Gorgeous colors, can't wait to see who wins!

Hi Dr. L.
The Panda silk sounds and looks wonderful. Would love to win a skein as it is not in my local yarn store
(35 miles away!)
Candace
I love knitting socks, and have just started hearing a bout how great the Panda yarns are.
i loved panda cotton, and i'll bet that the panda silk is even softer:o)
I'd love a chance to win - this yarn looks so pretty!
Panda Silk ...it saounds great ! I don't know if this yarn is sold in Belgium but I'd like to try it ! I prefer the denim tones !! greetings Georgette
Knitty day to you all!
Panda Silk Yarn sound wonderful. I love blog contests!
bandehartsell@Verizon.net
I would love to try some Panda Silk
Oh, joy! My LYS is about 50 miles away - yikes. So the chance to try new to me sock yarn is too much fun.
Hi! Nothing I like better than a fun contest and a chance to talk about knitting and yarn colors. The new Panda Silk sounds just lovely, and if there is a jewel tone colorway or two I will be trying it for sure. It sounds like one of those yarns that will cross over handily from socks to lace knitting. Can't wait!
How fun! I popped over here from a blog from Monkey Swap. Crystal Palace silk - sounds yummy!
okay, so I'm commenting.
Also, lusting after Panda Silk, but that's to be expected I suppose.
of course, this is demanding that I be a blogger member, but that doesn't get you to my actual blog (which is at typepad.com
shadowdancer.typapad.com/blog
Yay! I love contests!
I am just about the start my first pair of socks. Having some nice new yarm would intice me to start even more!
Thanks
Oh, sock yarn!!! I'd love to add some Panda Silk to my sock knitting!

Hi everyone,
I am currently knitting socks with Panda Bamboo and I love it! The drape is wonderful.
Amanda
Wow, Panda Silk, huh? Sounds lovely! I have recently discovered silk and silk blends, and my daughter's favorite animals are pandas!
I can't wait to feel (and knit with) Panda Silk. It sounds heavenly!
Wow! Silk, huh? Talk about luxury - silk socks! Sounds like just the thing for NM's warm summers!
Marie in ABQ
I nevver win anything, but it's worth a try! Silk socks sound yummy!
Count me in. I would love to knit with Panda Silk. Thanks Debi (corirallen)

I'd love to win the yarn--I'm always up for trying new yarn, especially yarn that can be used for socks!!
Oooh, a contest. And for Panda Silk. I have been on a very serious yarn diet this year, so would love to receive this from you.
Cherryl
Saw the M3 stole in Panda silk - would LOVE to win this!!! I'm random - pleeeese pick me!!
I love all things Panda!! Started with Panda Cotton (just built the stash up again this weekend) And the wool is soooo comfy and beautiful to work. Makes great socks...
Hope I will have been waiting for the Panda silk!!
Arlene
I have knit with the Panda Cotton and the Panda Wool. Now I am dieing to get my hands on some of the Panda Silk! Can't wait!
I just finished my first sock with Panda Cotton. I love the way it feels and that bamboo is an earth-friendly fiber. Let's convert the world to renewable-fiber, hand-knit socks!
I've just started a pair of socks with Bamboozle - it's a wonderful yarn to work with. I've finished one sock with Panda Cotton - once I started using the right needles for this yarn I was more than pleased - it splits some, so needle choice is crucial.
The yarn looks woderful!!! Would love to win some!!
I'd love to have some! All the colors are absolutely gorgeous! Please send it my way....I'm on a college-budget with cashmere dreams!
Silk....yummy. I'd love to get my hands on it, and I'd certainly send you pics of my FOs with it...
Plus I'm in college and can barely afford acrylic...give a girl some love here!
I've just returned to knitting after a long absence, and I'm loving it! I'd also love to win some Panda Silk. Thanks!
woo hoo! we're getting closer to the end and the first prizes!!

Cool contest. CPY has had such great sock yarns out lately and this is the one I haven't tried. :) maybe if I don't win I'll write them and see if they need one designed..... :-P Email suzi@suzisknits.com if I am one of the lucky winners!
Oh! Please enter me in the contest.
I love fondling my Panda Cotton and Panda Wool. I think that Panda Silk would be the ultimate in fondle-ability... and WONDERFUL socks!
LOVE CPY yarns and Panda Silk....Yummy!
I have never knit with silk yarn. pick me please!
I have had very good luck with my panda cotton, bamboo etc. I can just imagine the feel of silk. I love t spin silk, ! Thanks for letting me comment.

What a great idea for a contest! I'd love to try the Panda Silk.
I've been wanting to try some of the Panda line!
The Panda Silk yarn looks fantastic! What beautiful colors! I can just see a pair (or 2) of socks.

WOW I want some of that lucious Panda Silk to knit a pair of socks with and to touch and pet. It isn't here in Canada and I no longer have money in the budget for yarn or other goodies even if it was here.
I've never knit with silk before. Be fun to try.
