Hi I went over to the etsy store and I couldn't decide which I liked better the Get Cooking Pt. 2 or the knitaholic stitch markers. Both sets are so unique!
Oops. Sorry I'm not trying to enter twice but I forgot to ask if you're taking international entries because I live in Finland and I didn't answer the contest question! I liked Mermaid's Lagoon best though Rhonda's Raspberry Jam was a close second.
Congrats on the new shop! You know, I really like all of the colorways. Is that helpful? I especially like Rhonda's Rasberry Jam, Mermaid's Lagoon and Bearded Iris...beautiful! I'll link on my blog next update...
Oh wow-what gorgeous pictures-the yarn is lovely. And my faves- hmm- a tie, actually- between Twilight (THAT ALPACA LACE IS SPLENDID) and Louis'mlast Sunset. Love the blend of all that is wild i n that one. Good work. Now I will go and post on my blog!
OK, I liked the rasberry jam laceweight so much I had to order it... :-)
In this order my favourites are: Honeycomb, Bearded Iris and Lemongrass. :)
I love the Honeycomb colorway! I'm finding myself drawn to golden shades lately. Must be the economy, it's the only way I'll be seeing gold nowadays! I'm posting to my blog tonite.
I love the yarn! My fav would be the Lemongrass - all the subtle shades of green! I'll definitely be blogging about your blog and etsy store on Only If Bliss Slept.
I'd love to see the ladybug stitch markers dancing across the Mermaid's Lagoon. Kitten With a Whiplash sent me.
Oh wow, mermaid's lagoon is both a beautiful name and a gorgeous yarn. Thanks for the fun contest!
Mermaid's Lagoon is my favorite! So pretty!
I've fallen for the Lemongrass. It's summery!

Bearded Iris! Bearded Iris! My favorite flower and ,apparently, colourway!
I love the Honeycomb and Lemongrass colorways. Both are perfect for spring and summer. 100% Cashmere, too. Yummy!
I love both the honeycomb and the lemongrass, but if I had to choose . . . the honeycomb. Lovely colors!

OMG, The Lemongrass Cashmere yarn is definitely the hands down winner... but then again the knitterly stitch markers rock too. Loverly stuff, just loverly.
I'll be posting a link to this contest over at www.heideho.wordpress.com
The bearded iris is amazingly beautiful. Wow!
congrats on getting on line! gorgeous goods! i really liked the lemongrass and bearded iris colorways but admit i could have easily added more! Off to bookmark you!
The bearded iris colorway is my favorite!
I like the bearded iris and the mermaid's lagoon, but they're kindof similar to other dyers I've seen. The Lemongrass, though, that's a special colorway. So vibrant and happy! It wins my vote. KTLV on Ravelry.
I love the mermaid's lagoon AND the bearded iris; I can't choose just one!
I love the Mermaids Lagoon.Hugs Darcy
I absolutely love the bearded iris colorway. Irises are my favorite and the color is gorgeous.
Love the Bugnuts. The new shop looks lovely.
So many pretty colors - congrats on a great-looking site. I'm not much of a lace knitter, but the Bearded Iris - Hand-Painted Cashmere Lace Yarn is very very tempting.
Off soon to post on my website elaine-knitting.blogspot.com
OK - I've just posted it on my blog:

pick me, pick me. I love both of the prizes!
I absolutely LOVE the bearded iris cashmere. Looks like heaven to me and I'd love to win either prize (although of course I'd prefer to win the beautiful yarn!)
I'm also a big fan of the bearded iris cashmere - it is just beautiful.
The prize yarn is gorgeous too.
I love "Louis' Last Sunrise". You don't see enough gorgeous warm colorways!

Tough choice between Mermaid Lagoon and Lemongrass. i guess Lemongrass wins the toss. The stitch markers are cute. I just went to Michaels to check out supplies for making some funky stitch markers, but winning them would be soooo much easier. Glad i happened on your site.
Honeycomb is gorgeous--beautiful colorways!
mermaid's lagoon is the one that caught my eye!
Hope I win some of your gorgeous yarn.
hi - having a real hard time choosing between Lemon Grass and Bearded Iris. Is it really necessary to make a hard, fast decision? Ok then, Lemon Grass.
Doreen
First Instinct was to say: Louis' last, but i'm trying to expand my color horizons so mermaid lagoon gets my vote.
More than happy to link to your contest. I'm having one of my own!!
Congrats on opening your Etsy store. I will visit it often.
I love, love, love the Lemongrass...no- the mermaid's lagoon...um, all of the colorways are incredible.
I'm pretty fond of the twilight color. There's just something about it.
Ohh! I just adore the stitch markers! and my two favs are Louis' Last sunrise and Mermaid's lagoon - they just pretty!
Best of luck to you and your mom!
