Spring collection

It's almost here.

You will like it. It's pretty darn nifty.

And you will be surprised.

And that's all I have to say about that. The end.

Just kidding.

Let's have a naming contest, shall we? You suggest possible colorway names. If I use one of yours, I'll send you a free skein of that colorway. When you make a suggestion below, please be sure to enter your email address so I can contact you if you win. (Your email address will not be visible to anyone but me.)

Have at 'em!

"Mistress Mary" -- for reference to Frances Hodgson Burnette's Secret Garden. And really, you could do a whole theme for that: "A Bit of Earth", "Misselthwaite", "Magic", "Miracle", "Martha", "Dicken", "Colin" and of course "Frances."

And unrelated but I couldn't help myself because of the top photo: "Pear-y beautiful."

I think Spring in MN beats Spring in Northern Michigan any day, at least that's what my sister tells me. (She's in Rochester.) But hope springs eternal... wait, that might be a good suggestion! OK, here are my suggestions:

Hope Springs Eternal
Opening Day
First Pitch

(And if you take into account that I'm a Detroit Tigers fan, all three suggestions could follow a baseball theme!)

I have just one more suggestion - Calla (as in Calla Lillies because they always make me think of spring).

And this isn't my suggestion, I believe it was Mona on the 23rd, but I really loved her "Rainboots" and "Mud Puddles". Those totally made me think of spring time and elementary school recess.

[Doreen]

Hmmmmm, a proper MN spring?

For the obligatory grey/brown neutral:
Slush Pile

Spring around here also calls for:
Holy Crap, Everything Turned Green Overnight
The Frakking Squirrels Just Ate All My Tulips Again
Bright Yellow Raincoat
Ice Cream By The Lake
Fiddleheads

[Bunny]

"Spring4Me"

[goldi]

Okay, I see there is a lot of competition here! I have reread all of the posts and don't recall seeing this one but it would be perfect (IMO), especially in MN or anywhere in the Midwest:

Spring Fever

I also kept thinking of the lovely Southern flower

Magnolia

as well as Camellia, a lovely flower I became acquainted with when visiting a dear friend in the springtime of New Orleans.

[Beth]

Here we go:

Sproing!
Vernal Equinox
Harbinger
Robin Red-Breast
Pysanky
Easter Bonnet (with all the frills upon it)
Strolling on the Avenue
Meet My Peeps
Peter Cottontail (or, Cottontail / Flopsy / Mopsy from the Tale of Peter Rabbit)
Babbity Rabbity
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo
Flights of Fancy
Kaleidoscope
Calliope

And that's enough for now!

[Pat]

How about Pepper Berry Pink? Alliterate?

[Beth]

The Mist of May Is in the Gloamin'
Heather on the Hill
Nosegay
Corsage
Prom Gown
My Romance
Chrysalis

Cottage Garden
Antique Roses
Floribunda
Grandiflora
Love in Bloom
Bloom in Love (Bloomsday) -- other than the date, not really a spring theme, but I couldn't resist!

Have fun!

Jerome is kind of a green name- loyal and sacred like the green of spring which DOES arrive each year regardless how rough the winter and brown and muddy its departure:)

Alana means peaceful (the second photo from the top is about as peaceful as I can imagine- peaceful pink floating in a pond)

[Jenny K]

Hmmm. Spring names.
Peony pink
Hydrangea blues
Violet Hyacynths
Viola spring
Aerin yellow

[Jessica]

I tried reading the other comments, but there are SO MANY! Probably I'm duplicating some things.......

Ostara
Beltane
Danu
Molly Malone (or, Alive, Alive, O!)
Tír na nÓg
Silentium Amoris
Wild Mountain Thyme
Innisfree

[Amy A]

Silverbells and cockle shells

Lavenders blue dilly dilly

Dogwood Blossom

Gillian Pink (which BTW, is the color of the sunset where it isn't quite pink, not quite purple, and not quite orange but all three at once)

[Julie]

How about "Romy" or "Lili"?
