Great guess Elizabeth , you hit it! I ended up with 99 yards of a lace wt. 2 ply. Total skein wt was .6 oz. I'll be sending this along to you. Email me your mailing address.
The sock kit is called Red Osier. The pattern was written by Cindy DiDonato. The yarn is Ball and Skein's Super Sock 416 in the "Red Osier" colorway.
Red Osier is a favorite of mine. You may know this bush by one of its other names. Red Twig Dogwood, is one I hear often. It grows wild where my field meets the road and in an open spot in the woods that is frequented by deer. During the winter, the red branches give a wonderful fiery color to even the grayest days. But, it is silhouetted against the snow that I love them most.

I love red and that’s a stunner!
Beautiful yarn, congrats to the winner. The description of the dogwood sounds beautiful, perhaps someday you’ll share a photo of it? I’ve never seen a tree like this before, especially against the snow and we can’t grow dogwoods where I live as it doesn’t get cold enough. I did try once but it didn’t make it.
That color is beautiful!
I was off by ONE YARD?? XD Still, that’s not too bad for a guess from across the Internet. 😉 Gratz to the winner!!
That’s a gorgeous shade of red!
No way! I’ve had a run of good luck lately – thanks! I’ll email you from home – can’t access my email from the office. THANKS again!!!
Love red twig dogwood against the snow, but also peeking out from it’s interesting foliage during warmer months. That is one gorgeous shade of red yarn!
Gorgeous red–lucky “flowerhead”!
Nice looking sock!
