Brickhouse and SOLEmate Giveaway!

It's Friday, which means it's time for a NaBloPoMo giveaway... I am TOO excited about this one!!!   Are you in?  First get in the mood by clicking play below and then keep reading!
Last June Lorna's Laces was looking for patterns for their new yarn Solemate... I quickly suggested Brickhouse, one of my favorite patterns which I believe needed a little love!  Aren't they a perfect match?
Brickhouse in Solemate
This version is knit by Becca in Watercolor and Grant Park two colors that work SO well together!  Thanks Becca!  You did a beautiful job on it!
Brickhouse in Solemate
So, we've decided to do a conjoined giveaway that is a bit more fun that usual... Ready?

Giveaway:
Solemate Yarn Pack, 1 Brickhouse Pattern, AND The Best of the Commodores 

5 runner ups will receive Brickhouse Pattern
(6 winners TOTAL)

To Enter:
Leave a comment BOTH here and on the Lorna's Laces blog with your favorite song that has SOLE...bonus points if you include a link to the youtube video (and a way to get in touch with you!)

Comments will be open until 12 noon EST on Tuesday November 22nd and then we'll choose the lucky winners via random generator. 

Let's get this party started!  I can't wait to groove out on your favorite SOLE tunes!

    This is absolutely one of my favorite "chair dancing" songs! Tripping Billies by Dave Matthews Band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsUuYkMHV4w

    How can you not dance to that? Let the Friday Dance Party roll on!

    I love Brick House and the rest of the 70's motown sound- those were great years & would love to knit this pattern and give Solemate a try. The following link has sole in it, but different.

    Great pattern!
    Not only is this a song with "sole" it is one of my all time favorite songs by Mark Knopfler. The song "A Quality Shoe" reminds me happy every time I hear it.

    My favorite song that has SOLE has to be Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours". If that song is playing, I'm singing along and dancing.

    When you ask for a song with "Soul", I had to post Let's Get It On, originally by Marvin Gaye, but this version is by Pentatonix an a capella group on the sing off!

    I'm not sure why, but the Blues Brothers jumped into my head with "Soul Man" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2me1whctwc Might be because I live in Eugene, where "Animal House" was filmed and legend goes that Belushi had the idea for Blues Brothers after hanging out with a local musician, Curtis Salgado, while shooting that film. Or I might just be a bit out there today! :)
