Happy Sunday!
Boy, do I have a fantastic giveaway for you. I am super excited because I get to share with you the love that is, SpinningFates. If you have been reading me a while, it is possible that you are aware of my undying devotion for Laurel and her beautiful yarn.
My sock drawer is filled with beautiful socks knit up in SpinningFates. There are more than are seen here. :) Obviously the colors in Laurel's shop are fantastic, but that is only a small reason for my passion. The luxury of knitting with the yarn, the customer service and overall great product will make me a forever patron of this shop.

A bit about Laurel from her Etsy shop page:
A self-proclaimed 'yarn-a-holic', I love all things fiber! My passions are dyeing and knitting, while taking the occasional time out to learn to spin. My own flock is growing and I soon hope to include their fleeces in my shop. I also love embellishments, and feel that every knitter should have beautiful tools to work with.
So how about it...would you like to win this beautiful self striping skein in the colorway- Those Blasted Unicorns? Thanks to a generous donation from Laurel, here is your opportunity. Thank you, Laurel!!
For your chance to win this skein, leave a comment telling me what your favorite self-striping combination would be. Please ensure that I have a way to contact you if you are a winner, either by providing your Ravelry ID or an email address when promoted. This giveaway is open to readers outside the US as well.
The giveaway will close on May 16th at midnight MST. The winner will be chose via random number generator on May 17th and announced via a blog post on the same day. Good luck!!
Have the best day today!
XO,
Andi
Aqua and Red! My FAVORITE color combo! :)

Such beautiful yarn, Andi. I can see why you are a fan! Right now I'm feeling simple stripes--skinny pale gray and white stripes with heels and toes in solid gray. Classic combination and as cozy as sweatpants.

I'd love a self-striping with purples, teals, pinks and black.

My favorite color combination would be a mixture of reds, oranges, and yellows. Fires are so strangely beautiful that I love to see them translated to fiber. Thanks for the chance to win!

Oooh, how nice!
Thanks for this great giveaway, Andi. =D
This yarn looks totally gorgeous! I'll check Laurel's Etsy shop for sure!
If I had to pick a stripping colours combo ... mmh ... light grey and pastel pink. *-* I'd love that!

Those Blasted Unicorns is exactly what I have been looking for--bright, clear rainbow colors--my ideal color combo. I figure, if I am going to knit socks, they are going to be colorful--no plain black/brown/gray socks for me!

Lovely yarn! I am a rainbow fan or greens and blues!

Black and red... or neon and grey!

I love autumn colours so my choice would be a rusty rich orange with a golden yellow and a shade of brown. Maybe with a little green in there for fun.
Posted by: Kristine Raess | 05/09/2015 at 07:52 PM
Gray with anything that POPS!!!!
Posted by: Erin | 05/09/2015 at 08:21 PM
White, red, and pink combination. It reminds me of dessert. Also citrus colors with white.

Oh my goodness, a favorite color combination. In honor of my mom I would say pink and dove grey. Pink was her favorite color, the color of pink peonies. What fun it would be to make a pair of socks to honor her.

There are just too many combos of self-striping yarn to have a favorite! I love seeing others put together colors I'd never think to combine. I loved the Peonies colorway from Spinning Fates. My grandmother had gorgeous peonies!

Oh, I always gravitate to the red/orange/yellow colors. Although I've been seeing some purple/turqoiuse/silver variations that are lovely.

OMG! Those colors! I love them all, but if I had to choose, I think I like Those Blasted Unicorns. Although since it is pre-order I'm not sure it counts. Current color combo- maybe the Crab Shack.
Thanks!

Uh, um, that's a tough one!
hm I think I love "Peonies" from her shop right now.
But if I could just dream of a self-striping in my fav colors right now, I think it would be a yellow, but a rich, warm one like daffodils with a hint of the almost-orange part in the middle of the flower (can you tell that I don't really know anything about flowers? :-)) striped with a light shade of grey, maybe a rather cold one that almost hints into teal or turquoise colors.
Or maybe just a nice rainbow?
Thanks for this opportunity!

That skein is beautiful! I believe my (current) ideal self-striping would be based on a cross-stitch project I'm working on. Halloween colors with pinks and mint thrown in. It's surprising and amazing!

I love the happy fun colors of Bert and Earnie in the shop :-)

I love bright multi-colored self-striping yarn, like the one posted for the giveaway. I knit a shawl in a similar colorway and I love it!
