Hello, hello! If you're having kind of a gray, dreary day, I hope this splash of color helps you out a little bit. You
must see all of this completely gorgeous hand-dyed hand-dyed yarn and fiber by my lovely friend Diane of
Bugsnugger. (Definitely drool-worthy, right?)
Yup, hand-dyed superwash merino roving, too! You can find all of these yarns and fibers on
Bugsnugger's Etsy shop and also on
Hyenacart. (You should definitely go take a look.)
And now for a GIVEAWAY!! (Yup, free yarn!)
Diane from
Bugsnugger is kind enough to give you the chance to win this hand-dyed skein of Stellar sock yarn in a one-of-a-kind colorway! (The details: 80/20 BFL/nylon. This 4 oz skein has 420 yards.)
To enter, just leave a comment here telling me what
you would make with this gorgeous skein and I'll pick a winner on Friday, December 10th. Good luck!
My knitting group is knitting a blanket for a neighbor who recently experienced a loss. I would use it to knit up a swatch.
ReplyDeletei'd probably make it into some pretty mittens. maybe with some dainty cables... : )
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I could find a perfect sock pattern in my new Cookie A. book for it!
ReplyDeleteUm, I probably couldn't make anything awesome, but I'd give it to my mom to make me something BEYOOTIFUL! :) I've been wanting some arm warmers!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to choose, especially when I'm expecting a couple of new sock books in the mail soon - I could probably narrow it down to "something heavily cabled," though, as that's what I've felt like knitting lately.
ReplyDeleteit's been cold lately so i really want to make these socks

eee ^_^ this colour certainly helped my very grey day! I would make some socks for my mum :D
ReplyDeleteI will make a nice, little, baby cardigan for a soon to arrive baby. Yes, I do use sock yarn to make things other than socks.
ReplyDeleteThat color would be perfect for Mom's complexion, so I'd knit her a gorgeous beret.
ReplyDeletethat would be a great color for a bonnet for my newborn (in may 2011) son. ;-) enough time to knit! hihi!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are some incredible fibers! If I was to win, I would try making a pair of socks for the first time, or maybe a pair of booties for my on the way niece or nephew!
ReplyDeleteA scarf!
ReplyDeletei have been knitting scarfs a lot lately, this would be a colour my mom would like... maybe a christmas present :)
I've been looking for the perfect yarn to knit some fair isle socks. I think might be it!
ReplyDeleteEwe Loverly! I think I'd make a hat. I also have been dying to make leg warmers but I think I want big thick fuzzy ones.
ReplyDeleteohhhh...that is some yummy looking yarn...i think my hands need some fingerless gloves made from this yarn...swoon!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty...i would definitely be making some fingerless gloves with that for my friend who looks great in pinks and purples. lovely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful yarn! I always thought this would be such a great thing to learn to do. How much trouble would we be in if we spun our own yarn too?!
ReplyDeleteI think I would go back to figuring out how to knit socks once again. Took a class on Magic Loop socks and never got it down. I must try again!
I would make an Ishbel, SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably make some wristers, then with any leftover knit up some rosettes to embellish other projects.
ReplyDeletei would make some leg warmers for a special little girl. :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!! I have been wanting to make the Traveling Woman shawl for ages, and this yarn would be perfect!!! Thanks for such a great giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteReally it's too pretty to hide under shoes. I'd make some mittens or -- yes, travelling woman shawl would be perfect. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the colours are gorgeous!!! I would definitely make me a col (is that the right word?)It's been ages since i've knitted, I would love to cuddle up on the couch this winter and knit me a col!
ReplyDeletesomething for my best friend's fetus! not due till jan 27, so i would have the time to figure out what to whip up..and its a girl, so the colors are perfect :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I'd try to make my first slouchy hat with it.
ReplyDeletesuch dreamy yarns!
ReplyDeletei can just imagine making a sweet pair of child's socks or wrist warmers for myself.
I literally just taught myself how to knit this past weekend via Youtube videos! I would knit this up into a pretty little scarf. Cause it's freezing out! And I haven't quite mastered anything else yet :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably knit a shawl I think they are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely knit a pair of socks- I'm thinking Pomatomus, because I adore knitting socks! And I adore Bugsnugger yarn! This would be after I finish knitting myself a cardigan out of Diane's "Nikki" though....
ReplyDeleteI would have to make a hat or a sweater for my new baby niece who only weighed 3lbs 1 ounce when she was born. Happily she is up to 4 pounds 4 oz now.
ReplyDeleteI would make some armwarmers for my daughter. She would love these for work. Beautiful colors!

I would make a shawl with this lovely yarn.
ReplyDeleteWell, so far the only thing I can knit is a scarf. So, I would use it to learn how to make a different pattern!
ReplyDeletei love diane's yarn and this colorway is no different. i'd have someone make me socks. or i'd hold onto it and pet it till the day i finally learn to knit myself and could do it justice.
ReplyDeleteIt's Dec 9, and I am glad I found this in time :) The colour reminds me of cherry blossoms in Vancouver in the spring! I am obsessed with shawls (knit 11 this year), so I'd probably would make a beautiful shawl to wear in spring!
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is gorgeous! I would probably make a hat or some arm warmers.
ReplyDeleteWow these are my favorite blends of pinks and purples. It's so me! I would make myself (FOR ONCE! HA HA) something out of it. Thinking a cowl with a cute button closure.

I would make a Whippoorwill or socks
