*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!

I would make some totally hot rainbow knee socks.
I'd knit them into a throw/shawl for my husband. He's always cold and thinks that men never get the good colors when it comes to attire. I can picture it on him now--with his long, curly, gray locks resting amidst all those lovely colors on his shoulders.
I would make something for my boys and maybe some knee socks for myself.
I would be tempted to make a shawl but the possibilities seem endless. The colors are truly stunning!
If I won this, I would send it to my Sis who is a knitting freak and order her to make something pretty for me :-) !
I would have to make something for my baby. Maybe my first sweater?
My SIL is going to be having her first baby in October - I think this would make an AWESOME little throw for her to have for her new kiddo!
A long stripey scarf. Oh oh oh I love this mini-skein set so much!
Lovely little baby hats!!
If I win this yarn I will make a mitered square scarf with little squares. I can picture it now...
I would sit and stare at it and drool.
2010 is supposed to be my year of learning color work techniques and it is already nearly summer! so.. something fair isle, something that can live with me on my shaded porch, and something that makes up for not being able to grow flowers out there... - a pillow top I think.
I would knit something special for my daughter-to-be. Perhaps a rainbow tank or SS raglan sweater. If I were fortunate enough to win, I would use up every single yard of this delicious yarn.
I have been wanting to master colorwork for a while now, so I think it would be some of those gorgeous Norwegian mittens with rainbow colors.
I would make a sweater for my 9 mo. granddaughter.
these colors would be prefect a rainbow sun dress for my daughter/toddler - thanks so much for the chance!
It would make a beautiful shawl for my daughter. The colors are amazing!
My first granddaughter is due in September...I see a Baby Surprise Jacket or a Pinwheel Baby Blanket in these beauties future!
I would knit some lovely little baby hats for my granddaughter.
My twelve year old son loves anything multi-colored. I'd love to make him a few things from this yarn like a scarf and gloves for the winter!
