Here we are, 2011! Let's start off with a bang shall we? How about a giveaway? Sounds good to me!
Leave a comment on this post to enter to win one skein of TFA Blue Label Fingering Weight yarn in this very yummy BLUE colourway:
What better way to start off the year? I love blue. A winner will be announced on Tuesday, January 4th, which also happens to be Chris' birthday!
But if by some crazy twist you are not as mad about blue as I am, have no fear, I've just added several non-blue skeins of yarn to my one of a kind Etsy shop!
This bunch of Purple Label Cashmere Sock yarn in this very interesting brown/purple/pink combo will be very difficult to part with. So hard that I had to put one skein aside just for me. The other 4 are up for grabs though!
I'm also rather fond of this batch of DK weight yarn in Dark Sunset. The name says it all, it was supposed to be my Sunset colourway, but I went amiss somewhere and got this luscious, darker, more uniform version instead. It would make a great pullover.
I've got some new spinning to share with you later on next week, which inspired me to list some roving in the shop as well. I really like this braid in the Rhythm colourway. I wish I could dye roving's more often, they are so fun and squishy and are a joy to spin, but are just too labour intensive for me right now.
Here's to starting off the new year on the right foot. With blue yarn in hand of course.
seriously yummy blue! I would love to get my hands (and needles!) on that skein...
ReplyDeleteJust found your website I love the colors of your yarn! Happy new year and Happy Birthday to Chris early! Love the blue yarn.
ReplyDeleteI lerve your yarn, and happy birthday Chris!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous shade of blue! Happy New Year to you both and Happy Birthday to Chris!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Chris!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous shade of blue.
Ps. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful, I love it. The roving picture is gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful blue! I promised socks for everybody next Christmas, and that blue would be just the thing for my sister in law.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
I love your yarns, and I would love for that pretty blue skein to be added to my stash!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year. Lovely yarn and would love to knit socks with it

ReplyDeleteThe Dark Sunset is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Happy New Year! And an early happy birthday to Chris. I'm really looking forward to the first club shipment at the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to start the year.
ReplyDeleteSuch subtle tones! I could imagine using the blue yarn in a lengthwise scarf, striped with a heathery neutral (or for a really eyecatching, "winter-what-winter?" look, striping it with a warm buttercup yellow!). You have a real eye. Happy new year and happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteBlues & purples are my favorites--I love your colorways!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year (and Happy B-day!)
ReplyDeleteColor is beautiful....of course, all your colors are :)
Happy New Year and happy birthday to Chris. May this new year bring you all sorts of good things!

ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you, and happy birthday to Chris! I'm looking forward to 2011 being much better than 2010.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, and happy birthday to Chris for Tuesday. That is a lovely shade of blue. It would look good as a scarf.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. THanks for the giveaway. I love the shade of blue, so energetic!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! And Happy Birthday Chris!

Happy New Year!! I just finished making two Grammy's Hats for my daughter. She prefers no pom-pom though. One was made with Red Heart Soft yarn and the other one was made with Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Your new Blue yarn is very pretty. I would love to make something special with it for my daughter's 18th birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Beautiful yarn...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to discovering your new colorways for 2011.
Happy birthday to Chris!

What a lovely blue! I was just thinking about how I don't have very much blue yarn right now: something that absolutely MUST be remedied. (For some reason, though, I have lots of browns. I have no explanation.)
ReplyDeleteJust finishing up a sock tonight. This would look great on the needles!

ReplyDeleteGenius! I was just looking at the yarnharlot's page and clicked the link to the Paul Atwell socks (http://www.familytrunkproject.com/paulatwell/) she made as a Christmas gift. I'd love to make these socks and was on my way to your shop to see if you had a suitable blue to work them in. Ta da! blue giveaway. If I win, these'll jump to the top of the knitting queue.
