Is it possible that I haven't done a giveaway since October? Shame on me. Let's fix that right now!
Recently I've been looking at my Baby Shane Blanket kits in a whole new light. I've had these kits available in my shop for a few years now, and suddenly I find them completely inspiring! I think that most people buy the kits with the intention of knitting my Baby Shane Blanket pattern (duh) but there are so many possibilities. I'm considering crocheting a ripple blanket, maybe knitting a simple striped blanket like this... I've started viewing these kits almost like sampler palettes that I can play around with, I've got a few more palettes in mind, I might refresh some of my currently available colour options and add some new ones too in the future.
Which brings us to today's giveaway! Leave a comment to enter to win the Baby Shane Blanket kit of your choice. In your comment, let me know:
1) What is your favorite palette? Or, is there's a palette that you'd love to see but that I don't yet have available, let me know!
2) What would you make with your kit?
3) Be sure to leave an e-mail address or Ravelry username so I can get in touch with you should you win!
As usual, for bonus entries:
Mention this giveaway on your blog and include a link to this giveaway post - be sure to come back and leave another comment here telling me that you blogged about it so I know!

As a mother of three boys who are always begging me to knit them something I would knit a blanket with the blues palette or the blues to yellow palette for their beds. Maybe a block by block with the colors fading into the next shade as it progresses.
ReplyDeleteThe blue to yellow is quite lovely...such dreamy colors!
ReplyDeleteNO idea what I would use all that beautiful yarn for, but I am thinking something exciting and stylish. I do like stripes...
If I win (fingers crossed!) I am

It's so hard to choose! But I really like the purple and the blue colorway.
ReplyDeleteI would use to knit a baby blanket for one of my several friends that gave birth or are pregnant...
I shared the giveaway in my FB wall: http://www.facebook.com/paulacastrocrafts
ReplyDeleteI love the blues to yellow - normally I am not into yellow but your yellows are stunning. I would have a go at the Shane blanket having just had a new niece added to my family.
ReplyDeleteRav: Raelne
The blue palette is my favorite! I would make a multi-square blanket.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

I love the jewel palette and would be making the ripple blanket. It reminds me of the first afghan my Grandmother taught me to make, back when all we used was acrylic yarn and only two colors!
ReplyDeleteRav:shobey
Hard to choose but I think my fav. one is the red palette
ReplyDeleteI made the Shane blanket a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. I used stash yarn and I'm sure your yarn would be beautiful. I just found out that my niece, who fought breast cancer all last year, is 61/2 weeks pregnant. We are all quite ecstatic...it has been a roller coaster of a year. I'm sure she would be thrilled with most any color, they are all glorious! Thanks for sharing your talents!
ReplyDeletedebraanngoldberg@gmail.com
I'd get the greens and use it to make a ruffled scarf! Yes!
ReplyDeletesilvergirl3.7@gmail.com
I think my fave is the original palette!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the blue to yellow color pallet. I'd love to do a chevron striped blanket in them. I will admit I am a slow knitter (most of this is because just don't have much time to knit,) but I would take on a blanket project if I won. :)
ReplyDeletekatelyn (dot) jackson (at) hotmail (dot) com
I love the reds/jewel tone.I am new to your yarns.I hope to win.I can crochet the ripple or the Shane( I love this). I want to make a blanket for my grand daughters.rinebird on Rav
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea - a give-away in the spring to chase the blues away!
ReplyDeleteThe purple colorway in the Baby Shane Blanket would be awesome!
Thank you for the opportunity.
I love the Blues and the Purples but if I had to just pick one I would pick the Blues. I would make a baby sweater.

Wow! Thanks for the contest!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful color choices. It's really hard to pick a favorite.
1. Color Palette: a) Blues, b) jewels, c) reds
2. I would definitely make the Shane Baby Blanket or another blanket of some sort. I would love to learn to crochet and make a chevron or ripple patterned blanket.

they're all gorgeous palettes, but my favorite would be the blues. I have some baby blankets to make and will need to get some yarn soon, so this would go towards it.

I loooove the jewel tones! I've finally got to the point where I think I knit my first sweater, and with yarn as lovely as these that sweater would be made out of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I love the purples or the jewels. And I would make squares to make a blanket for ME for once!!!

ReplyDeleteI like "original" color set, and would attempt to knit a blanket. I say attempt not because I couldn't do it technically, but because I don't know if I have the endurance.
ReplyDeleteThe jewel palette would make a great Baby Shane blanket, or a fair isle type project with so many colors.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous colourways! I would probably lean towards making a beautiful lap blanket with the Jewel colourway. Coldtoesneedsocks on Rav!

I love your blues palette! I would knit a sweater in those beautiful, vibrant colours!
ReplyDeleteRavelry ID: FlannelJammies
I like the Blues kit. I'm obsessed with blue these days! I do love the baby shane blanket, but I think I'd make the Traveler's life Afghan by the Yarn Harlot. There's something lovely about mindless, striped knitting to snuggle up with!

I love the jewel colorways, and I would definitely make the Baby Shane blanket for a pregnant friend.
ReplyDeleteoreokia on ravelry
I have been wanting to knit the baby shane pattern for ages and recently i have been mildly obssessed with the blank canvas jumper as my friend is having a baby and she wants lots of cute ahnd knits
ReplyDeleteso i would knit one of those for her and as to which colour way i would normally say purples but i really love the blue to yellow colourway for baby stuffs
rav name is Fudgey
The Greens is my favorite, such a beautiful array of shades. I think a green and purple combo would also be very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to make my a blanket for my forthcoming baby! (so weird to type that!)
rav name = jenmegc
My favorite palette above is the "greens" one; I'd love to use it to make a gorgeous shawl or wrap.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see an ocean sunset palette - deep reds and peaches for the sky, and turquoise to dark blue for the water.

I like the jewel tones and would probably use them to make a stunning shawl for my mom. She also looks great in the shades of "autumn" as a suggestion for another palette.
ReplyDeleteRav name is unirider
Hmmm
ReplyDeleteI think my fave is the red... but I love the greens too.... or the jewels... ack I could never decide.
My mind is blown... try and do a few pairs of fingerless gloves. We need them this time of year here in TO. It's too cold to have bare hands on the GO train platform but my alpaca mitts are too hot.
Punkyspice on Ravelry. Fingers crossed.
I love the spectrum of the green colorways! I'm thinking a good ol' fashioned Fair Isle Yoke Cardigan from the Opinionated Knitter. If I cast on now, I should be able to strut around in it this autumn.
ReplyDelete-- frugalspice on Ravelry
Beautiful! I love the original one. A rainbow one would be cute too. I love making baby blankets!
ReplyDeleteLove the reds.
ReplyDeleteBLEknits on rav.
I love them all! But if I'm forced to chose, I'd say the Jewel tones would be my pick.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make a lacy blanket, mabe a stripe chalice blanket with this kit.
I'm verencat on Rav
LOVELY giveaway -- oh my, how to choose! I'd go with the "greens" this moment, as spring is definitely here where I live and your soft palette is elegant and wonderful! I'd make a ripple afghan -- just right for those naps inbetween spring cleaning LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm MaryjoO on Ravelry, MaryjoOrd on Twitter and I'll "facebook" your contest :))
I love the original colorway. I would love to make the Baby Shane Blanket! Thanks for all your inspiring colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard not to love your blues palette. I've had ponchos on my mind for a while now and would love to knit a striped one in these shades. Can't you just see it? Perfect for a spring day or a cool summer's night.
ReplyDeleteprojectstashEL on Ravelry
I love all your palettes; if I had to choose one to knit with at the moment it would have to be either the reds or the greens, and I'd knit a blanket for my new niece or nephew due in October - probably something stripy or ripply, not sure what pattern.
ReplyDeleteksh on Rav
Ohh! Decisions, decisions!! They are all beautiful, but I'd have to say the Purples!!
ReplyDeleteAnd since I don't have any new babies on the horizon to knit for I'd probably use the skeins to make accessories and small projects. Is that ok?
Thanks so much for the opportunity. :)

Top 3
ReplyDelete1- Jewel
2- Reds
3- Greens
I would make a throw for me. Instead of everyone else. Something to use winter and summer. Love the yarn. It looks yummy.
Wow! Would you believe the hardest part is choosing between the palettes? I think I'd go with the greens. I can envision a lovely Bavarian Crochet baby blanket.
ReplyDeletedstovin @ hotmail.com (with no spaces)
Apologies if this comes through twice. I tried commenting earlier today but it didn't seem to go through.
I love the blues, but would also love a grey colourway! The Baby Shane blanket seems like a perfect pattern and there's always a deserving baby around!
ReplyDeletestitchy_ritchie@shaw.ca
I love them all, but I think that my favorite is the jewel colorway. I'd probably just make a blanket with big wide stripes to really show off the gorgeousness of the yarn.
ReplyDeleteRav ID: melosa
I really like the purples, but I would love to see a black-neutrals or brown-neutrals palette - I think those would be beautiful! And I would probably make a striped blanket, or something colorblocked. Color blocking is in! (flossieknits on ravelry)
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovly but my choose would be the Purple Palette and I would make a baby Blanket and maybe a shawl.
ReplyDeleteI love the jewel palatte! I don't know what I'd make with it... no babies to knit for, but I'd find something wonderful for it!
ReplyDeletegynx on Rav.
It really is hard to choose one palette over the others but my favourite is the 'reds', which would make a great ripple blanket.
ReplyDeletegunner_fanatic7@hotmail.com
All the colorways are lovely. The blues to yellows has just the right amount of POP. Maybe a giant granny square afghan is in my future. Thank you for sponsoring the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteBarbara aka mykerme on ravelry
Love the purples and the blues - can't decide which! I'd probably make a shawl.
ReplyDeleteI like the pastels or the purple or even the original. Though instead of a blanket I'd probably want to make a fair isle sweater. Maybe something with an all over pattern that I could shift the colors gradually.
ReplyDeleteAnd as always- love the blog. Big thank you for another chance for a giveaway.
Jennifer (crazyewe)
The blues for a fail isle sweater....
ReplyDeleteboris2001 on ravelry.
The greens palette for sure! And I would probably try the Baby shane blanket for my friend's little one, or maybe a long scarf/cowl!

Hmmm . . . it's tough, but I would probably choose the blue to yellow palette - they're all gorgeous. And, believe it or not, I'd probably make a baby blanket. :)

An orange/yellow palette, just love those two colour at the moment. Would probably do the baby shane blanket, or a granny square blanket.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the giveaway. All colors are georegous, but I would love to make my mum a shawl or vest from the greens.

I'd go for the pastels, they're gorgeous! fridica on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteLOve the purples color way, it calls for a shawl or for a striped springy sweater
ReplyDeleteThe green is my favourite. I would make a blanket for my new niece or nephew that is coming!

I'd love the "purple" and i would knit many many little shawls to offer!

ReplyDeleteBlue to Yellow is my favorite!! Beautiful and such vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteI think I would probably make a blanket or perhaps several accessories like hats scarves mittens.
Rav: mmontzka
Wow, the purple colorways are gorgeous! I think that I would still knit a blanket (beginner here) but instead of for my baby who is already getting tons of stuff I would knit a blanket for my special needs dog. She keeps trying to steal my yarn as it is so obviously she wants her own to cuddle.
ReplyDeleteparanormaldog@gmail.com (am also paranormaldog on ravelry - anyone feel free to add me, I love new friends!)
I also posted in my blog: http://mamatobean.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/tanis-fibre-arts-giveaway/
And on my Facebook for you.
Good luck to everyone! I'm sure we would all make wonderful creations with our winnings!
I really love the 'Reds' palette (red is my favourite colour by FAR!) However, I wish there was a coral/teal type of palette... hehe.
ReplyDeleteI have been REALLY wanting to make one of your fairview Scarves.. and some beret type hats for my sisters.
stephanie[DOT]c[DOT]arndt[AT]gmail.com
I would love to knit a nice stripey blanket all in garter stitch, like this one: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/super-easy-baby-blanket

I love the reds kit! (though purple is a close second). I am pregnant with my second baby and have already made a baby shane for my first, so I would really want to make one for the new baby. Gush.
ReplyDeletegdelaplante@allezup.com
The original palette is my favorite - perfect to knit up for an unexpected baby shower gift!
ReplyDeleteamerob on Ravelry
I would choose the original or the jewels pallette and knit a shawl/scarf. I love the Sencha scarf and Sprout yarn - I'm well into the pattern and enjoying every row!
ReplyDeleteJulie Ann (HIGHLIGHTS on Ravelry)
Ooo, I love the Jewels kit, and I'd love to make a drapy gradient-striped cardigan or vest with it.
ReplyDeletePredictably, I must say the Greens are my favourite. :)
ReplyDeleteI might do a stripe study shawl, or scarf. Hmm! So many possibilities.

What to choose? My favourite is the Greens palette; I'd also love to see a Rainbow palette. I am thinking of a log cabin blanket.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Helen
Rav ID: galianobc
So hard to decide but I think the jewel palette is my fave.
ReplyDeleteBeing a poor student, I would probably make a bunch of stuff and get started on Christmas gifts. Fingerless mitts, cowl in linen stitch.... and everything striped so that the people I love get the full glory of your yarn. :]

All the colour combinations are beautiful but my preference is for the Blues. I would make a Baby Shane blanket and probably use it as a lap blanket for myself.
ReplyDeletecarolineanne on ravelry
It's hard to choose just one colourway. They're so beautiful! I guess I would have to go with the blue to yellow set and I love the Super Easy Baby Blanket from The Purl Bee...but with two grandchildren under the age of two (boy and girl), I could also make baby sweaters in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue palette!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make a lace shawl for the summer and I think these colours would match the pattern perfectly!
I love the blue palette!

I'd pick the purple. A friend just had a baby a few months ago and I made her a purple baby blanket in a leaf lace pattern. She just died over it so I'd love to make her another blanket (this one for her!) Although I have to admit...I love All those palettes. So beautiful!
ReplyDeletecatherine@viapositiva.net
I'd love the blue to yellow kit. Your colors are so amazing! The Shane blanket is awesome, but I think I'd use the kit to make a Tulip sweater for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue to yellow colour palette.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would try my hand at the Latvian Garden Baby Blanket.
Some stranded colourwork is exactly what a range of colours such as those are screaming to be made into!
Love the Reds palette. I would love to use them to make a Stephen west shawl.

All are good choices but I'm leaning towards the Blues :)
ReplyDeleteravelry: denim
Initially I thought the green had won my heart, but looking at the reds on your Kit page made me change my mind! Those colors just scream to be worked with as a group. Lovely! I think I'd make a stripey and coordinating mitts, cowl, and hat set! Or a couple sets ... gosh, I just love that combo so much. Thanks for the opportunity! I am heavyteeth on rav :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the blues and purples palettes!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make the baby Shane blanket for my nephew. Otherwise I would make another honey cowl or maybe more of Susie's reading mitts, or possibly a Rikke hat-the list goes on and on...
Although I do love the jewel and purple palettes, there's something about the green palette that speaks to me right now. I would probably make a baby blanket!
ReplyDeleteoops!forgot to mention that I'm sockhap on ravelry
ReplyDeleteAll palettes are beautiful! But I think I would make a shawl in the jewel palette!

You have a gift with colour. I like them all however the jewel toned really speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteLucette on rav
I love the Greens, and would attempt to make a ripple blanket. I have always wanted to try one ever since my grandmother made me one when I was young. The Greens remind me of her, so those are the ones I would pick!
ReplyDeletei am every drawn to the blues! it's often quite grey in vancouver. the blues palette evokes the complex hues in the sky and sea. year round, it would be a lovely feast for the eyes in my living room! a baby shane would be ambitious for me at this time. i might even use it for a super easy baby blanket and double up so it's a lap sized blanket for the couch.
ReplyDeletei love the purple colourways.
ReplyDeletei would make a modified point blanket with it.
rav id : traumaqueen
I love the jewel tones! I love the Maree sweater pattern and the Attabi Set, but I'm also taken with your Four Seasons Hats!

Gosh, it's such a hard choice I have to say... But since I'm a green person, I would choose the greens.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure yet what would I do with all those lovely yarns. I would probably use them in few inspiring little projects... Scarf, at least.
And since I haven't yet gotten a chance to use TFA yarns this would be a great way to hook me! ;oD
My Rav id is Hattisto.
The incredible shades of sky blues are my favourite for sure. They definitely conjure up dreamy blue baby blankets or baby pull overs. The purples are running a close second. I would probably knit:

Your site is magnificent and so is your passion for yarn and knitting. Your site is an endless supply of inspiration. Thanks for hanging out.

I love your greens, and I think a graduated ripple or feather and fan pattern would be perfect for a lap blanket.
ReplyDeleteI love the reds but they are all quite beautiful. I think anything would be great with it - baby blanket, sweater, etc
ReplyDeletekacatalano@verizon.net
What a great chance! The "reds" is speaking to me at the moment. And I would make the baby shane blanket, as I have a niece on the way who could use a little handknit welcome.

I love the classics. Those colours are great! (RavID: Christa51)
ReplyDeleteI love the blues palette - it's gorgeous. I'd make a chevron ripple blanket - we're heading into winter in my part of the world and knitting a blanket is great because not only does the finished product keep you warm but the wip resting on your knees as you knit warms you too! I'm tickleturtle on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteThose colour ways are great, but it's the blues that call out to me -- I'd make a shawl or a blanket for my mum. She lives in another part of the province, so I don't get to see her as often as I'd like, and she's in poor health so she could use a woolly hug.

The jewel tones! Oh how I love the jewel tones. I have been knitting for just 3 blissful months, and have yet to dive in to any kind of colorwork (except for an ill-fitting striped sweater, w some seriously hideous jogs...I didn't even know about stripe jogs when I knit it!). I would love to do sweater #2 in some kind of stripey ombre pattern. Please please please! --EmilyPotato on Ravelry :)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win one of your palettes. All of them actually. Maybe I would chose the greens, if I had to make a choice. And I have no idea what I would knit, there are so many possibilities. But for sure it would be for one of my kids. Or maybe for both. Matching... something? I absolutely LOVE your yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe there could be a more toned down palette? Greys, browns, ...
And my Ravelry name is camion. :)
Oh - the rainbow palette sounds like a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteI'd also love deep purples, grays... and orange!
I love the blues to yellow. I think the transition is so subtle and beautiful it draws you from color to color. I would make a striped blanket. My mom knit one for each of us as babies. I love the pictures of us with them. email

So beautiful. I really like the jewel colours, but the original palate is a close second. I would be tempted to make beautiful accessories like this rainbow cowl http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-cowl or wingspan http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wingspan-2. But this rainbow dress by tikki would also look amazing in this beautiful yarn! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-dress

ReplyDeleteSunny-Ringleader on Ravelry
Lately I have been loving yellow but blue is my fave forever, so blue to yellow is it! And I would make that blanket as I have long admired it. (I'm kayT on Rav too.)
ReplyDeleteI would probably go for the blue colorway because I want a baby boy so bad! And so I would definitely make a blanket with it if I was to get pregnant! My absolute favorite color though is shadow - love it!

ReplyDeletevantine(dot)meghan(at)gmail.com
I love the blue and the purple colorways. They're both so gorgeous, I'm having a hard time choosing. I think I would use my kit to make a shawl that incorporated these colors. Or, a cowl & fingerless mitts set using a fair isle pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy Rav Id is messiahkitty.
You are a magician with colours. They are all so inspiring. The palette which said Baby Shane Blanket to me was the green...and I still have time to get it done...and be a proud grandma. (I also loved the jewel tones. So many choices).
ReplyDeletelindat@rogers.com
I think my favourite palette is the Blues (although Greens, Originals, and Jewel Tones are not far behind). I kind of wish you had a Neutrals palette.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether I'd make a baby blanket, make several smaller (hat/mitten) projects, or try to find a cardigan pattern that would work with multiple colours.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite palettes are jewel and original. I think it would be pretty spectacular to have one in sunset/sunrise colours too. I'd defiinitaly make a blanket out of the kit. Baby Shane is lovely, but if I were to do something else, I'd probably either do the Colour Block Blanket or OpArt

ReplyDeleteLOVE greens, then the reds and blues. I would probably knit up either a blanket for my wee one, or a couple of sweaters for him/accessories. A babe can never have enough hand knits!
ReplyDeleteBoth the reds and the greens are covetable. I' love to make the Baby Shane or a striped hoodie or both.

This is a hard choice. I think I'll go with the purple palette. A wonderfully comfortable pair of multicolored socks would be fun to make. DLand1024 on Rav

Thank you for your amazing yarn!

Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway, and for your informative blog.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I love every single one of the color palettes, but my favorite would have to be the blues, my favorite color.
I would crochet a ripple blanket, so that it would be done quickly and I could enjoy that yummy yarn wrapped around me!

WOW, amazing palettes to choose from. I am with you on the ripple blanket. I love the Jewel Tones!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful giveaway.
Wow. These are all so stunning, it is really hard to choose. If I won, I think I would just spend a long time looking at the yarns before I did anything with them!
ReplyDeleteI finally decided that the purple colorway is my favorite. But it was close! Since we're not expecting a baby anytime soon, I think I'd try to make a throw size blanket for our couch.
I would make the Baby Shane Blanket... or maybe a cardigan.. in the Jewel colours. They are beautiful!

I love the reds. I'd make a long stripey scarf--or more than one depending on its size!

I'd love a greys/blues palette. I'd probably knit up a baby blanket. I love the baby shane blanket.

I would love to make an Olive's Afghan(http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/olives-afghan)in the greens palette.

I love the reds and the jewels. Too tough to pick right now. I don't have a baby on the way, nor do any friends, so I would probably split them up and make accessories with the yarns.
ReplyDeleteI love the Jewel colourway, however the purple is lovely, too. Isn't everything improved with a dash of purple?
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do with it if I win it? Well, first I would cuddle and stroke it, because your lovely yarns deserve to be cuddled. Then I think I might make a shawl from them, although I would need to commune with them first, to choose the right shawl!

I mentionned your giveaway on my blog... Almost forgot... http://www.anyonecanknit.blogspot.ca/ Thank you for the great contest!
ReplyDeleteThe purples are perfection! I would make a stripe throw to put on the back of my knitting chair--I could wrap in around me in the cold winter months : )
ReplyDeleteThese palettes are so inspiring! I love the reds and blues kits, which would be fabulous in a stripey blanket, or woven into a stried scarf.

I really love the purples. Purple is a color I never get tired of. I'd love to make a log cabin blanket out of it. Or an awesome crochet ripple.
ReplyDeleteLove the original palette.Definitely for a baby blanket.
ReplyDeletemormorknitter on Ravelry
Argh! So many choices! i love the blue to yellow as well as the purples. I would probably knit a couple of different things for the grandbabies in my life.
ReplyDeletejudithgagnon@xplornet.ca
Who chould choose - they are all gorgeous - but Blues or Greens would top my list for a great sweater. Harleyboy on Rav
ReplyDeleteThanks
Reds - definitely! I just noticed the beautiful orange in that palette. Thanks Harleyboy on Rav
ReplyDeleteI would love the Purples kit. So versatile!'

oooh. decisions. decisions.
ReplyDeleteif i was picking from one of your existing colour combos i would pick 'reds' to create a 'shane blanket' for my cousin's baby-to-be.
if i was creating my own palette i would pair: sand, shadow, dove, stormy, natural, charcoal with seabreeze OR the grays, sand, natural with buttercup, gold and maybe orange blossom? (i heart gray and yellow together).
happy knitting tanis.

I'd go for purples and would make a blanket out of it.
ReplyDeleteI would love a 'Burple' palette - remove the light greenish colors in the Blues and replace them with the three darkest colors from the Purples.
ReplyDeleteI definitively would make a striped tunic (Olive or Skalva) or cardigan (Featherweight cardigan) with it, starting with the lighter colors on top and ending with the darker ones at the bottom.

Hi Tanis!
ReplyDeleteAll the palettes are gorgeous, but my favorite is Jewel. I could also see another palette in more muted colors - like Sand, Dove, Charcoal and pops of color like Plum or maybe Olive?
I would probably knit a baby blanket or striped baby sweaters.
Thanks!

WOW! Wonderful giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Blues! I am thinking long scarves, shawls, light cowls and hats!
Thanks for the chance to win!! I am off to tweet this great giveaway!!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI really like the jewel colorways.
I would knit myself a shawl and learn lae knitting with it.
Thanks!

I like the jewel and the purple.
ReplyDeleteBut if I were going to make a new one up, I'd do a rainbow with Charcoal, Jewel, Poppy, Orange Blossom, Buttercup, Spearmint and Cobalt.
Or a more muted rainbow with plum or grape, lilac, Atlantic, olive, gold, sunset, brick and sand. The possibilities are endless.
Not sure what I'd do. Actually, yes I do. I love the pattern for the Blooming Cotton Scarf by Eunny Jang. That would be fabulous in your colours.

I love the Jewel Tones! And I think they would make an awesome Baby Shane Blanket for my new niece. :)

Love the purples! I would stay with a baby blanket and possibly make http://www.purlbee.com/chevron-baby-blanket/

Wow! The colors are just beautiful.I love the purple and teal. Love to use it for a toddler's blanket.

I love all the palettes, but I think the blues is my favorite. You've inspired me to make a blanket! I'm surlyturtle on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteOoh, so pretty! I would love to use the purple colourway to make a throw for my (purple) couch. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this giveaway!

Oooh! I'd have to say the jewel colourway is my favourite, although the greens is nice too. I am a bit of a fan of oranges and purples together and would love to see that. As to what to make, I would love to make something with stripes, perhaps a blanket for my boys to make forts with!

I'm going with greens for my favorite. Or maybe the jewels. I can't decide... it could be blues. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI'd make a second baby shane as I already have one made and have been waiting for just the right baby. A friend of mine is having twins in September... what better gift than baby shanes for her matching babies?! Two blankets is a must!

I love Jewel set and I would make a stripey sweater from the set.

Coming late to this (the things you miss when you're away from the internet!) but I hope not too late--I've had a long-time plan to make Curve of Pursuit and I think it would look fantastic in the Blues palette (I might have to do some math to work out the color sequence...). All of your palettes have lovely gradations that would work well for this pattern, though.
ReplyDeleteI really do love all the colours, but my favorite is the purples. I'm not sure what I would make yet, possibly a shawl. My ravelry id is francine.
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest, that is one sexy orange in the Pastels colorway. I love all of pastels and if I won I would have to make a stuffed animal for the kiddies I just babysat last week. Either that, or a new blanket for the little boy who just can't seem to let go of the ratty old thing that he has had for forever. It's adorable, but a little ridiculous. I can also already see the duck that the yellow is begging me to knit and the scarf the aqua and blue want to be turned into. I can also feel the fingerless gloves I'd turn the orange into, should I win, and a silly baby beenie for the green.

I love The Reds but I also like the Blue to Yellow palette. I would also love a fall palette. It's been a few weeks since I visited my fave knitting blogs. Luckily friends share secrets so we don't miss all the fun giveaways.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarns, Tanis!
they are all stunning and so many people think so!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win your greens palette, that is my favourite I think.
I would love to knit a huge striped mandala blanket, maybe like the old forge blanket that has been made at smoking hot needles, *swoon*
thank you for the chance to win your beautiful yarns!
I'd pick the greens palette and I'd make a child's Fair Isle sweater. I'm Mom2O on Ravelry -- what a fantastic giveaway, thank you!
ReplyDeleteAll the colors are really great, but if I have to decide it is the greens ;-). I would make my mum a green jacket, since she just loves green.

Wow! It took me forever to decide which palette I liked best, but the Jewel Palette won out! I would love to use it to make a Log Cabin blanket -- all that comforting garter stitch, with those colors, would be heaven!

Such a hard decision, but I think Jewel is my favorite, and I would want to make the Baby Shane blanket.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful, but if I have to pick then let it be the jewel tones! A baby blanket or a shawl would be in order I think. Thanks for the opportunity.
