*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 think if I won I would have to make a set of rainbow unicorns for my girls. They love all these wonderful colours and the only thing they like more than a rainbow of colours is the mighty unicorn :)
i'd make me some of the sasiest, coolest most cheerful socks ever! (and a a pair for my 4 year old too!)
OOOOO, kneesocks. For sure.
I would knit a bright rainbow shawlette to brighten a dreary day for a friend
OMG! I would make a spring shawl or maybe a shrug out of this yarnie goodness! It's gorgeous.
ooh oooh please pick me! If I won these I think I would make a smaller (scarf size) version of this modern quilt wrap, maybe for one of my nieces (they are 2 and 4 right now) or a friend's daughter, who is 5. http://www.knittingdaily.com/media/p/13982.aspx
Leggings for my daughter.
First I would engage in some serious fondling. Beautiful yarn deserves dedicated fondling. Then I think mitered squares for a blanket would be lovely.
After rolling in them naked and restraining myself from eating them, I'd probably make a stripy sweater for my little boy. He'd love the bright colors, and I haven't knit for him yet.
I would make a baby surprise jacket. :)
I would definitely make some awesome multicolored socks!
I would love to make some striped legwarmers for my niece as she goes off to college.
I would make a long, soft scarf with all those colors in various width stripes. Oh how I would love a scarf like that, and springvale no less.
Toe up striped knee socks all the way, baby!
ZOMG. I would make myself a scarf; I never make myself anything. And something for my baby nephew, of course.
I would make baby socks for my new 6 day old granddaughter. Her 2 older sisters, ages 6 & 9, would have so much fun matching outfits to her socks!
I would make a sweater for my toddler, who luckily inherited my stripe obsession :)
OH that is so beautiful. I'd finally make me and my daughter some socks and a hat. :)
This would most definitely be assimilated into the sock yarn blanket that I'm currently madly in love with.
I would crochet a rainbow cocoon for my new granddaughter due in September!
