A new column with a contest inside

We will beginning a new column. A new column called The Yarnista Answers all Your Questions and Then Some. Isn't that a snappy title? So short, so memorable. Perhaps I should've called it The Yarnista Answers all Your Questions and Then Some to Make Happy Smiling Mouth for You.

Better? Yes?

No?

In order to create this schmancy new column, I need your questions.

And therein lies the contest. Reply to this message with a question that you would like The Yarnista to answer. (Perhaps The Yarnista will start referring to herself in third person. It sounds so...officious. So... deranged.)

The Yarnista will use your questions in future columns. She will attempt to answer the questions. She may not know the correct answer, but she will come up with something.

Because The Yarnista is feeling generous, you can even include more than one question in your response. (But only one response total.)

Examples of good questions The Yarnista will answer:

  1. What makes you so fantastic?

  2. Why do I like you so much?

  3. Why are you so helpful, so kind, so generous?

  4. Why did a swallow foretell your birth and a double rainbow appear over the mountaintop where you were born?


Examples of bad questions The Yarnista will not be answering:

  1. What is your Social Security number?

  2. What is your mother's maiden name?

  3. What is your home address and telephone number, including area code?

  4. What is wrong with you?


Your questions can be about yarn, dyeing, my site, me, life, or engineering. Engineering is one of those topics where I will not know the answers to your questions, but I will make up an answer that will sound a tiny bit plausible if you don't know anything about engineering.

Have at it!

You have until 8:00pm EST tomorrow. That's Friday.

The Yarnista thanks you in advance and hopes to make happy smiling mouth for you.

WAIT, I almost forgot! The prize!

The prize is a good one!

The winner will be chosen at random, and will win a $20 gift code to our site, Three Irish Girls. You can use it on anything you like. :)

Do you have a favourite of the colourways on your site? Do you have any plans to dye vegetable fibres in the future? (I love wool, but some of my friends are allergic to it.)

What's your very favorite FO that you've ever knit?
What's your favorite color?

June 27, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAgnes

Didn't you have something like 4 pages of colorways at one time, what happened to them all?

If a colorway is retired, can it still be requested as a custom?

When you aren't dying yarn what do you do in your spare time? Is there such a thing as spare time?

What's the yarnista's favorite movie?

Ok, the most pressing question I always must cope with when browsing through your fabulous yarns is... when a knitter is on a budget, how can she choose?!?
I can think of a project (or three) for every type of yarn you offer, but sadly I can only ever get one or two. At this rate, it may be years before I try them all!
What is your fave yarn, and why? Which do you feel is a must-try?

Hi Sharon, Here are a few q's.
1. Where do you find the inspiration for your magnificent colorways?
2. Do you sleep? How do you find the time to do all of the dye-ing and take care of 3 LOs?
3. What are your favorite things to knit...socks, sweaters, baby items, etc.?

What's Yarnista's favorite item on Ravelry made out of TIG yarn?

What other crafts do you secretly long to try?

June 27, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBree

okay:
1. how much do you love being called "the Yarnista"?
2. What is your favorite thing to knit?
3. Do you miss hanging out with your old friends from MSBB? Your name came up recently :) (In a good way).
4. How are the kids?

What is your favorite color? Not colorway, just one solitary little color . . .

what is your favorite liquid refreshment? (alcoholic or otherwise)

What are the Yarnista's little ones' favorite knitted items?

Have I told you lately that I love you ;) ?
