After much deliberation the winner of the January 2008 Name That Colorway Contest is. . . .

MH1982

with her suggestion of

Krakatoa

Having been a huge fan of the book 21 Balloons in elementary school I was thrilled with this suggestion. Krakatoa?
This great new yarn will be up in my etsy shop very shortly so make sure you get a skein before it sells out.
As an added bonus all entrants in the contest will receive $2 off a skein of their choice for this week only. Just enter your Ravelry name in the comments and I'll adjust the price and send a new invoice.
I'll also be updating with another new color and also some more of the Kettle colorway in sock weight by tomorrow. Head on over.

Name that colorway contest!

I had such a great time with the last color contest that I decided to do it again!

gray(lt. to dark) and bright red

The rules are the same:

1. Leave all entries in the comments of this post.




2. You can submit as many entries as you want.




3. Make sure to leave an email address or blog site or Ravelry user name with your entry.(No contact info, no entry)




4. The winner will receive on skein of handdyed yarn in the colorway of your choice from starbugknits.etsy.com.(I will also do a custom dye if you wish)

Now, have at it!

ETA: Contest ends January 10 @midnight EST.

New Year Wrap Up

I haven't blogged as much as I thought I might this year. The coming of Ravelry saw to that. Adding pictures and projects on there makes the blog seem a little redundant. Blogging has also been slower than I thought with my dial up connection. This year it'll be different. I have a new camera that takes great pictures, and we're getting high speed internet in the next few weeks. So more to come. . .
As far as knitting goes I'm going to make a list of all the things I have knitted this year. Heck-- I might even throw in some pictures.
I made:
1. 4 pairs of socks (one for my sock pal, one for my sister, one for my mom, and one I frogged already for myself)

embossed leaves for Kari

2. 1 pair of mittens(bird in hand)

3. 3 adult sweaters
4. 4 children's sweaters
5. 1 purse
6. 5 pairs of felted slippers

first pair for Michael

7. one scarf

8. 2 headbands

one for my mil

9. 3 Christmas stockings

New Years knitting resolutions?

1. Try steeking(bought a Dale of Norway book so I'm half way there)


2. Knit Dan's sweater in time for our sixth anniversary


3. Knit Dan some socks.


4. Knit more socks in general


5. Finish up my UFOs that are hibernating on Ravelry


6. Make Christmas stocking for Dad, Mom, and my family.

Here's to a Happy New Year!
