*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!

Ohh, the possibilities. I'd knit a striped little tank top and floppy sun hat for my currently-incubating baby girl due in August. She'd look like a delicious rainbow ice-cream cone. Baby Yum!
I would make a pinwheel sweater or a pullover for my daughter. Those colors are beautiful!
I would love to use it in a wall mural I have designed with a stained glass window effect. The colors are vibrant and would work beautifully inside the black work.
Thanks for the opportunity!
stripey rainbow socks! toe up, of course!
Socks!
I am dying to make a striped sweater for my friend's daughter! I have my eyes on the Tulip pattern :)
Hmmm .... so many ideas ... maybe a rainbow robot for my son =) !
Love the amazing colors!
Id make a chevron scarf. Ohhh, it would be stunning!!
I would totally be playing with all the different color combinations in a variety of 'fair-isle'-type motifs to plan future colorwork projects!
Oh so pretty!! I would be making tickle hats for all my little ones!!
I think an entrelac scarf would be cool
What a beautiful bouquet of color! I would make a scarf. Or two.
I would use this to make cute little matching (but not matching) hats for my 7-month-old and 2-year old goddaughters (they're sisters)!!
I would cherish them for a bit and then they would become a sweater for my great niece, Sydney in FL...her mother LOVES hand made things!!!
Definitely socks!
i would make a zig-zag baby blanket! how cheerful!
These would make some gorgeous dolls! Thanks for offering such a great opportunity.
I'm currently knitting a large version of the African Adventure, so I'd use this yarn to make a smaller version - maybe as a table topper for my dresser.
What magnificent colours!
I would knit a pair of stripey knee socks, with a little stranded colourwork where the colours changed. I'd have to play with swatches for a while to figure out what pattern would be best....
Mmm, Im thinking a nice little toddler sweater :0
