*time's up!* I want you to have this.
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 2:50PM *Time's up!* Winner will be announced shortly...
Really, I want each and every one of you to have this.
Unfortunately, I don't have 30,000 of them, I only have one.
It's a rainbow mini skein set. One ounce each of our nine new spring colorways: Brandy Alexander, Cosmo, Mimosa, Creamsicle, Mojito, Agua Vida, Curaçao, Ice Blue Raspberry, and Passion Punch. That's 2-1/4 skeins of yarn.
These sets are pretty irresistible, and the possibilities are endless. You can use them to make stripes, you can use just a couple of colorways together at a time, you can use them for trim, for contrasting heels and toes, or for a project that requires small blocks of color.
I would LOVE to see a log cabin pillow top, or a chevron scarf with skinny color changes. I would ADORE seeing a sweet striped sweater for a little one. It would THRILL me if someone made these into knee socks or a stocking cap.
The set I'm giving away is dyed on Springvale Sport, which can be knit like a heavy fingering weight for socks, or as a true sport weight for sweaters and scarves and such. It's delishy and squishy.
Don't mind me and my made up adjectives.
These sets are currently available only through retailers, but here's your chance to win one.
To enter, please leave a comment describing what you would do with this set if you won. I will use a random number generator to select a winner tomorrow, Wednesday, May 26th, at 1:00 pm, Central Time. The winner will be posted here. One entry per person, please.
Good luck!

A beautiful shawl will be in this future!
If I won these I would make a pinwheel blanket with them, I think the rainbow would be gorgeous!
I would use these beauties to make a pinwheel sweater for my daughter :)
Since my first colorwork socks which I knitted by the way with 2 of your lovely yarn combinations and discover I love doing colorwork I will probably use it to do some more colorwork. But I also think it would make a pair of nice entrelac socks
I have a new granddaughter due next month and I would knit a blanket , hat and bootie set..How lovely her sweet face will look in those colors....
If I win these, would love to make a colorwork sock, or just a nice striped sock with solid heels and toes. I love socks!
I would use them in my first color stranding project-something I haven't done yet, but want to learn. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would make Lil Bugger an Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Woot!
oh OH! A cute stripey sweater for dd would be good. Or I just had visions of a cool shawl where the colors fade from one to the next, in a fun, spring rainbow!!
I see a beautiful blanket for my babies with those!!! So GORGEOUS!!!
I would knit myself up some super sunny rainbow socks. start toe up and (hopefully) make knee socks.
Im learning to make longies so I would make some awesome longies for my baby!!
I'm torn between knee socks for me or something adorably cute for a baby. Either one would be so super cute.
I would totally make a lovely shawl. Or a super fun colorwork project. OH MAN I WANT!
First, I'd spend some time photographing the lovely colors. Then, once I was finished with that I'd use them to make a baby sweater for friends.
Hmm...I think I would make a lovely skinny scarf and hat!
i would make a shawl like blanket for the back of my chaise.. so i could wrap up in sunshine when relaxing and knitting
I would make some silly hats for my 2 month old daughter.
I think I'd have to make myself a crazy pair of stripy knee socks, but I'm oddly tempted by the idea of a Noro-style scarf with the colors fading through it.
I would make a sweater for my 5 month old baby girl! And socks to match ;)
