The one on the far left might be the new Chinese Lantern version, but I believe the one below is definitely a winner. See the skein on the far right, above? This is what it looks like re-skeined:
Periwinkle Sheep watercolors sock yarn80% superwash merino/20% nylon
approx. 420 yards
7-8 sts/in
COLORWAY ???
I am hoping this is closer to what Betty had in mind. We are going to visit one of our LYSs together tomorrow and I will have a chance to show her. Either way, I am keeping this one for the Periwinkle Sheep line-up! I have all I can do not to make a Multnomah Shawl out of it, right this minute!
Now for a name....
....you wouldn't want to help me name it, would you??
You would? That'd be awesome, as I am torn between a few different ones, like Maple, or Fall along the Hudson, or ... what will you come up with?
If I pick your suggestion, you will win your own skein of this new Periwinkle Sheep colorway! If this color is not up your alley at all, send in your suggestion anyway, but tell me your color preference and I will do my best to accommodate you.
If there are several people voting for the same color, I will randomly select a winner.
This contest is open through Friday, November 13th, 10 pm EST. A winner will be announced sometime over the weekend.
PS: no worries. If Betty likes this color, she has a free skein coming already. I've put her though enough with this!
Hmm. Well, I am making dinner right now and roasting an acorn squash. The lovely smell coming from the oven, these cooler temperatures and the color of this yarn all spell out late fall to me!
ReplyDeleteSo my name suggestion is: Roasted Acorn Squash
Hmmmmm. Cranberry Pumpkin Bread?? Whatever you call it, I want it! Will it be at The Spinning Room?

I have two ideas: Rustling Leaves, or just Rustle. It's a lovely color!

P.S. Thank you for the note! Will write tomorrow after I get back home.
Makes me think of Autumn Spice - Yum! It's beautiful! From, Janice A.
ReplyDeleteHow about Autumn Sunlight? Or "Light through October Leaves" (hmm, a little long). It is a truly gorgeous color, and will add sunshine to any knitter's life!
