Step Away From The Blues ( And a contest.)

Posted under miscellaneous

Several people have asked me if I’m in a blue mood. I didn’t think this was the case until I took a long hard look at what’s been arriving at my doorstep.

Fiber Mosaic

Fiber Mosaic

You can see that for the most part there are little bits of blue in nearly every single colorway there.

For awhile there I was making a conscious effort to step away from the blues. Only I wondered if there was really a need. After all, there’s enough variation in what I’ve got up there so that there’s no chance of my becoming monotonous. I think this is just another case of following your bliss.

I can’t figure out a way to segue into the contest gracefully, so I’ll just dive in. I’ve already spun some of the above fiber into yarn. To win the contest all you need to do is guess which ones have been spun up. If you click the mosaic, you’ll go to my Flickr page.

Just leave a comment on this post by midnight eastern, Sunday August 10th. I’ll pull a random name from whoever has the correct answer.

The prize? A free set of stitch markers. You can see some examples here.

Hints may be given in the posts to follow. I’m not sure if that will happen as I’m not sure how difficult this is for you all yet. :)

Happy hump day everyone! Follow your bliss!

ETA: Thank you to Patrick and Sallee for pointing out the fact that this contest shouldn’t last till July 10th, 2009.  I have edited the post to reflect that the contest will end August 10th. :-)
