*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 my delightful daughter a sweetly striped romper, bright enough to lighten the darkest winter day.
I would use it to add to my mitered squares pillow! It would be perfect!
I like the idea of a pillow top--I need some pillows for my couch and would love to have something bright and cheerful.
I would love to have these mini skeins.
The want to be an alligator shawl!!
I have a vision of a pinwheel blanket in the worsted weight but for Sport weight, I see thigh high stockings. I may even model them!!!
I would knit a lovely shawl. We have a family wedding next summer on Cape Cod, and a pretty shawl will be perfect!
Oooh! The possibilities! I'd love to knit a big triangular shawl ... or maybe socks... or technicolor gloves... or maybe a neckwarmer... all of the above! :)
Laughs... um, you know those god awful Doctor Who scarves? Yes... i believe that they need a 3IG re-vamp.
I want to make a striped scarf/shawl and AWESOME using every last oz... . cuse im a geek.
AND it would be the BESTEST 30th BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR ME....
just laughs because... seriously they are so awesome, id end up changing my mind into what i would want to make with it like 14 times ... and about 3 more after they hit the needle..
A dipped in infinity scarf!
I would make myself the most amazing, colorful, winter hat and scarf that would be sure to brighten up the most dreary Buffalo winter day.
If I were so lucky as to win this gorgeous yarn, I would make matching sweaters for my two toddler granddaughters. Striped, of course. But oh, so pretty.
Oooooh. . . I would simply look at it for a veeeeeery long time. . . it's BEAUTIFUL! Then, perhaps a scarf to cheer up the bleakest day.
I would make a lovely shawl or a lacy little poncho!
I can see these making up beautifully into a mitered square scarf!!
I would make either an oversized slouchy pixy hat, or a set of toddler mitts for my daughter. She loves mitts and would wear them to pieces, so it's a tough decision : )
Guess it would be easier to win with my mitered square idea if you had my email on file... : )
I see these as granny squares! Probably an adorable little granny square jumper/smock for my 3 year old.
I would knit a blanket for my baby girl! No doubt!
I'd make something amazing to wear for myself- probably a shawl or perhaps a lacy capelet to wear when we move to Italy this fall. <3
I would make snazzy snoods for my greyhounds to wear this winter!
