*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 Dipped Infinity scarf, perhaps. Or a Pinwheel sweater for a little one. Yeah, the Pinwheel, I think. It's got a gorgeous future, whatever the set becomes!
Ooooh, I'd be tempted to make colorwork hats for my children with that! I'd love to see all three of their little heads running around with those on!
A baby blanket!
The possibilities are endless! Socks, wristwarmers, gloves..........
Fabulous scarves for my grands!
These would make a gorgeous sweater or dress for my baby niece!
I would make the happiest socks ever!
LOVE! I'd make a rainbow shawl :)
Definitely some stripe-tastic retro knee-high socks!
For now, I think I'd pet them! Eventually, they'd become a shawl.
I would make a stripy scarf or cap.
The colors are fabulous and I would use them to make a wonderful scarf.
I would make these into two pairs of socks. Knee socks for me, a mini pair for the baby we are trying to have! What a lucky baby to come into this world to loving parents and striped knee socks! :)
I would knit up tiny little nb sweaters, one more boyish and one more girlish for my 2 new additions. and then i would take alot of pictures of them in the sweaters and show them off all the time like an annoying mommy :P
