Spring collection

It's almost here.

You will like it. It's pretty darn nifty.

And you will be surprised.

And that's all I have to say about that. The end.

Just kidding.

Let's have a naming contest, shall we? You suggest possible colorway names. If I use one of yours, I'll send you a free skein of that colorway. When you make a suggestion below, please be sure to enter your email address so I can contact you if you win. (Your email address will not be visible to anyone but me.)

Have at 'em!

I think these are a few of the the things I look forward to in the spring....Could not you just imagine a pale pear green with a hint of spring sunshine, of a blushing rose with deep color fading to palest pink

"Marcella" it is my grandma's name and before she was in the nursing home she grew the most beautiful roses. It always made me look forward to nice weather to see her roses.

Here are my suggestions:

Tabula Rasa
Chantelle
Red Rover
Fresco
Blustery

I love naming contests! How about the following names:

'Singing Bird' (I'm getting married in May and one of the poems I think we'll be having read at the ceremony is 'Birthday' by Christina Rossetti, which opens with the line 'My heart is like a singing bird', it's such a beautiful poem and is all about hope and new life)

'Fantasia'

'Pre-Raphelite'

[Emer]

Sticking with the Irish names theme...

My son's name Oisín (from old Irish legend, meaning "little deer")

My favourite ever boy's name Ferdia (from legend)
Or the word Solas (Irish for light)
