The two Runners Up who have each won a copy of the pattern are:
meppybn & GerryART
Congratulations! Please contact me at yarnonthehouse@gmail.com to collect your prizes.
I'm so excited to share this giveaway's yarn and project! The yarn sponsor this time is an awesome indie hand dyeing yarn genius by the name Rose of Cakewalk Yarns. Rose has an Etsy shop filled with lots of beautiful and very unique yarns, but her specialty in my opinion is her multi colored skeins of sock yarn. They are truly one of kind!
Rose was sweet enough to send me a gift skein of her lovely Sudden Valley colorway to try out and oh boy, did I love it! As soon as I saw a picture of the color, I knew this skein wanted to become a shawl and I chose the simple, but clever pattern Lacy Baktus to knit it up into. Yes, a freebie! Check out my fabulous shawlette!
Pattern: Lacy Baktus
Designer: Terhi Montonen
Yarn: Cakewalk Yarns Footsie
Colorway: Sudden Valley
My Rav project page here
Modeled by: Jasmine
Isn't it just perfect?! The yarn was so addictive to knit with and reminds me of sprinkles on birthday cake. The bursts of sunny yellow, Bermuda blues, and spots of vibrant reds and purples had me not wanting to set the project down the whole time! I'm not one for highly variegated colorways (just a personal choice), but this neat and inventive coloring technique of Sudden Valley turned out really breath taking. Everyone around me who either saw me working on the shawl or saw it completed couldn't stop talking about how cool it looks!
Rose has lots of other great colored skeins of yarn in her shop now that I would love to knit with... Weenie, Cherry Blossom, and Bloom. Honestly, she has a shop loaded with lots of fabulous yarns! It would be hard for me to choose just one.
Cakewalk Yarns has sent over two extra skeins of Footsie sock yarn in the colorway Sudden Valley for two lucky followers to have a chance to win! Enjoy!
I would like you to do the following if you would like to be entered into this week's giveaway:
1. Read over the rules if you have not done so already.
2. Leave a comment on this blog post by the end of Sunday, 10/9/11. What's your favorite Cakewalk Yarns colorway? Check out her shop here.
I'll randomly pick the winners in 2 weeks and post the results along with the new giveaway, so be sure to check back. Good luck everyone.
Sincerely,
Ve

My favorite is the Abalone laceweight. The greys and blues are so subtle and pretty, but then it's got that little pop of green - perfect!
September 26, 2011 9:16 PM
My favorite is Cherry Blossom!! I love Cakewalk Yarns!!
September 26, 2011 9:20 PM
I really like the sock yarn Tomboy. I don't usually go for pinks but this one is lovely!
September 26, 2011 9:22 PM
Outdoorsy is my favorite colourway. Thanks for giving me the chance to discover her wonderful shop.
September 26, 2011 9:26 PM
It's really hard to choose just one, but I'll have to go with the Castle sock yarn.
September 26, 2011 9:28 PM
Abalone, River, City, Granita--- there are so many to look at, it's hard to pick one!
September 26, 2011 9:36 PM
I bought the Cherry Blossom colorway from Cakewalk this summer and I wish I would have bought more! She has great colors! Hope to see her at the Ann Arbor Fiber Expo next month!
September 26, 2011 9:51 PM
Pick one - right! I did like Cheeky sock yarn...
That is a gorgeous yarn you are giving away...
September 26, 2011 9:56 PM
You said it right: they do remind me of sprinkles. I love the gorgeous colors of Hand Painted Sock Yarn Superwash Merino Wool /Nylon - Oak Tree. Brown is my fave of late.
September 26, 2011 9:58 PM
I love the oak tree colorway.
September 26, 2011 10:18 PM
I love the Nola sockweight! I'm am really in the market for sockweight yarn. So tempting...
September 26, 2011 10:36 PM
I'm crushing on the laceweight Abalone.
Grey with subtle blues and green... gorgeous!
September 26, 2011 10:38 PM
Wow, those yarns are funky! Absolutely love the Oak Tree colourway!!
September 26, 2011 10:41 PM
So many gorgeous colours - I love bing, opal and key lime especially.
September 26, 2011 10:58 PM
Weenie! I only wish there were two skeins of it and I would snap it up right away!
September 26, 2011 11:06 PM
The Superwash Merino & Nylon Sock Yarn - Carlsbad is defiantly my favorite. The colors are like a handful of gem stones. Drools!
September 26, 2011 11:19 PM
Sudden Valley, followed by Castle. They are GOR-JUSS !!
(Goodstuff on Rav)
September 26, 2011 11:31 PM
I love 3 of them. Abalone is beautiful and subtle, Diva and Yoga Class are lovely too
September 27, 2011 12:01 AM
I love Sock Yarn Superwash Merino & Nylon Hand dyed - Oz and Magilla. wildkitten/dot/handcrafts/at/gmail/dot/com
September 27, 2011 12:24 AM
Carlsbad.
No Castle.
No Carlsbad.
No. Castle.
No, definitely Carlsbad.
I think.
September 27, 2011 12:26 AM
I love the (hilariously named) "Weenie" colourway! "Cherry Blossom" is a close second. Gorgeous yarns!
September 27, 2011 12:31 AM
Tough choice but I think Hero Squad is my favourite.
September 27, 2011 1:27 AM
i like the carlsbad colorway so pretty!
September 27, 2011 1:34 AM
i think I have to choose Abalone (or Paua as it would be called in New Zealand where I live).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%81ua
September 27, 2011 2:58 AM
A favourite? Really? Because they're ALL fantastic!
But if I have to pick a favourite… bikini!!!
September 27, 2011 3:50 AM
Definitely Weenie!!!!!

September 27, 2011 3:55 AM
Sudden Valley isn't one I would have ever expected to like from the skein, but knit it up it's rather spectacular.
There's so many lovely colors it's hard to pick, but I think my favorite by a bare little bit is Iolite.
September 27, 2011 4:02 AM
I'm like you and tend to prefer less variegated yarns, but this one looks amazing knitted up! Usually it's the other way around. My more conservative taste fell in love with Magilla.
September 27, 2011 4:25 AM
Too many beautiful colors to choose from - Ink, Magilla, Castle, Abalone...just pick one for me and I'm sure I'll like it!!!
September 27, 2011 4:33 AM
As a rule, I'm not as fond of highly varigated yarns. I prefer more tonal than dramatic changes but I have to admit that this one is very pretty, almost appearing to "sprinkle" colour here and there rather that the large blobs you can sometime get with varigated yarn. If, I had to choose my favourite among all the colourways though, it would have to be OPAL. The opal is my birthstone and the colours in this yarn are just incredible!
September 27, 2011 4:47 AM
I'm incapable of picking just one (my horoscope says so). But I managed to narrow the favorites list down to three: Cherry Blossom, Sudden Valley and Durango.
September 27, 2011 4:54 AM
i like the carlsbad colorway so pretty!
September 27, 2011 4:56 AM
I noticed Vineyard as soon as the page opened! Spice Cake and Carlsbad also caught my eye. Why do you make us pick just one?
September 27, 2011 5:00 AM
My favorite color is Ink! So pretty!
September 27, 2011 5:16 AM
Iolite, Salad, Oz, Jerome or any of the others mentioned. Impossible to choose just one!!!
September 27, 2011 5:16 AM
Gosh, she's got so many it's hard to pick one, but I think I really like "chalkboard"
September 27, 2011 5:20 AM
The Ink colorway is so pretty!
September 27, 2011 5:23 AM
I'm In LOVE with Bowling Ball. Abalone is very pretty as well.
September 27, 2011 5:24 AM
Hard to pick one- either Crush or backpack I guess!
September 27, 2011 5:24 AM
Very difficult choice, but I love the intensity of Carlsbad.
September 27, 2011 5:28 AM
I like the yummy peacock colors of Carlsbad. Beautiful!
September 27, 2011 5:38 AM
I love and really appreciate you introducing me to such great independent hand dyers. My favorites were scoop and big betty.
September 27, 2011 5:53 AM
I have had cakewalk yarns in my etsy favorites forever! My favorite is Tree Frog.
-aprilshowers
September 27, 2011 5:56 AM
They are all so beautiful but the magilla definitely caught my eye!
September 27, 2011 6:01 AM
Sangria! Gorgeous. :)
September 27, 2011 6:08 AM
I am smitten with "Smitten"!
September 27, 2011 6:11 AM
So many great choices, but I love Jam!
September 27, 2011 6:13 AM
I like Oak Tree - very beautiful fall transitional colors
September 27, 2011 6:18 AM
I guess I'm in a bit of a green mood because Kiwi, Key Lime, and Kermie were the skeins that spoke to me the most!
September 27, 2011 6:20 AM
The Sudden Valley reminds me of my daughter! BUt for myself I would have to say either bowlingball, clubhouse or Grover :D
September 27, 2011 6:24 AM
Bikini was quite beautiful - but I don't know why it has that name.
September 27, 2011 6:25 AM
Until today I'd never heard of Cakewalk Yarns. Wow what a collection of color! Edisto, Bikini and Carlsbad are so pretty!
September 27, 2011 6:26 AM
I've never knit with yarn that had that "sprinkles" effect...I'm glad you posted this so we can see how it works up. It's really pretty, especially in a lacy pattern like the Baktus!
I think my favorite color from her shop is Spice Cake.
September 27, 2011 6:28 AM
I love that Abalone colorway!
September 27, 2011 6:30 AM
This blog is dangerous/wonderful. I keep finding new yarns and colorways that I love. These Cakewalk yarns are no exception. I love the names that she gives to the yarns. My favorite is Mrs. Featherbottom. It looks like it would be great fun to knit up. I also liked Tomboy and Abalone. Thanks for the giveaway!
September 27, 2011 6:34 AM
Love the colors of Spice Cake!
September 27, 2011 6:35 AM
Spring looks lovely!
September 27, 2011 6:37 AM
Sangria is my favorite! As a matter of fact, it's in my cart now!
September 27, 2011 6:51 AM
The greens are lovely. Thanks for sharing Cakewalk Yarns!
September 27, 2011 6:51 AM
Ooh, I'm loving Vineyard, Magilla and Carlsbad.
September 27, 2011 7:02 AM
City, Carlsbad, and Abalone. Love all of them though. The color blends are so funky!
September 27, 2011 7:05 AM
Mmm, I love the Sangria sock yarn!
September 27, 2011 7:09 AM
my favourite is definitely cherry blossom, it's gorgeous!
September 27, 2011 7:15 AM
Definitely weenie. It looks like Autumn and paint splatters, and I'd love to see it knit up into something awesome. Probably socks. Knowing me. :P
September 27, 2011 7:25 AM
I don't know if I can choose a favorite! The colors are so vivid and beautiful! I was really drawn to Carlsbad, and I think it might go on my wishlist. Thanks for introducing this lovely shop!
September 27, 2011 7:25 AM
Weenie. Love it so much, I just bought a skein!
Still would love to be a winner though!
September 27, 2011 7:28 AM
Vineyard is gorgeous! Would love to try this yarn out.
September 27, 2011 7:44 AM
So many gorgeous colorways and you want me to pick just one!?!? I am going to write down both the Cheeky colorway and the Shore colorway. Lovely!
September 27, 2011 8:05 AM
What gorgeous variegation! I would love to win the pictured colorway, but also love 'Tree Frog'. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
September 27, 2011 8:06 AM
I like Castle and Smitten!
September 27, 2011 8:21 AM
I am head over heels over that "Weenie" halloween colorway. so COOL! the baktus pattern is one that I've already made, but I would be excited to make another one with this yarn!!
September 27, 2011 8:23 AM
Tree Frog and Sedona caught my eye, but there were several others I really liked!
bean1082@gmail.com
September 27, 2011 8:36 AM
My favorite is the Yoga Class colorway sock yarn.
September 27, 2011 8:57 AM
Wow - gorgeous. I love the spots of color, very koigu-esque. My fave color is weenie.
September 27, 2011 8:59 AM
Bloom is definitely my favorite! Most of my favorites are the pinks, however, all of the colors are pleasing to look at. =) I love Cakewalk Yarns!
September 27, 2011 9:08 AM
No way can I choose just ONE...isn't that why knitters have huge stashes?!
My top two are Abalone and Sangria. I love calm subtlety of the grays and blues in Abalone. And Sangria is a happy color (and drink).
September 27, 2011 9:32 AM
The aran weight yarn in the Jerome colorway just looks so soft and inviting, if I had to pick a favorite from this shop (which is hard because honestly they're all beautiful) I would have to pick that one!
September 27, 2011 9:36 AM
It's the sock yarn 'Ink' - I'm a sucker for blues!
September 27, 2011 9:38 AM
I like Abalone! What fun colors in her shop.
September 27, 2011 9:39 AM
Wow, I had a hard time picking one other than Sudden Valley - it's gorgeous, and it look so great knit up! In the end, though, I have to go with Hero Squad, it's so bright and fun. Might have to get myself some 'o that...
September 27, 2011 9:43 AM
Iolite and Sangria
September 27, 2011 9:47 AM
I like the Jade colorway in the sock yarn, yumm!
September 27, 2011 10:54 AM
I like Hero Squad and Cheeky! And Tomboy...and Clubhouse...
(Pick one...you're so funny!)
September 27, 2011 11:09 AM
I agree on the varigated... i'm picky. ha. I love the lime colorway... so greeeen! :D
September 27, 2011 11:16 AM
I like Yam and Tiffany!
September 27, 2011 11:17 AM
My favorite is Abalone!
September 27, 2011 11:42 AM
I'm a fan of the Honeyboy, Big Betty, and Tomboy colorways.
September 27, 2011 12:02 PM
Mmm, great yarns. I'm partically drawn towards the socks yarns in Salad and Honeyboy.
September 27, 2011 12:25 PM
I am loving the one you used, good with jeans and any asst of tshirt
And I have this scarf pattern on my to do list
September 27, 2011 12:30 PM
Kiwi sock. It's lovely. So is your shawl. :)
September 27, 2011 12:35 PM
Tomboy, Bing, Salad ... how to choose?! Due with baby girl in 12 weeks makes me like Petal too. Rav amchart
September 27, 2011 12:53 PM
cakewalk yarns are so pretty im completely smitten with this colorway though http://www.etsy.com/listing/79075167/sock-yarn-superwash-merino-nylon-hand ...so funky! raineoc@yahoo.com
September 27, 2011 12:56 PM
My favorite color is Jam! What a wonderful contest! Good luck everyone!
September 27, 2011 12:57 PM
I like tomboy.
September 27, 2011 1:03 PM
Such a beautiful yarn. I really would like to try knitting socks, and THE BLOOM is just perfect.
September 27, 2011 1:41 PM
These yarns look amazing, and your Baktus is stunning! I love the Cakewalk colorway, but have my eye on Cherry Blossom and Bikini, and so many others!
September 27, 2011 1:44 PM
Oh! Her Merino/Silk Lace in Abalone got me going! Swoon...
September 27, 2011 2:09 PM
Tough choice, but I really like the Tomboy colorway.
September 27, 2011 2:10 PM
Tough choice, but I really like the Tomboy colorway.
September 27, 2011 2:10 PM
Tough choice, but I really like the Tomboy colorway.
September 27, 2011 2:31 PM
I'm in love with the Weenie colorway, but my daughter went crazy over the lacy baktus you made!! Beautiful!
September 27, 2011 2:33 PM
I would have to say "Castle" has my name all over it!
September 27, 2011 3:11 PM
What an effect!!!
I like best the Sock Yarn Hand Dyed Superwash Merino & Nylon - Cakewalk
craftink on raverly
September 27, 2011 4:06 PM
I don't think I can choose. Tree frog is exceptionally nice though. And I really love Outdoorsy. I'm finding myself really attracted to the aran weights. Thank you for exposing me to another great etsy shop.
September 27, 2011 4:10 PM
So many gorgeous colors I can't pick just one! I love Castle, Iolite, Shore, Big Ness, and Planet.
September 27, 2011 4:14 PM
I'll have to go with Iolite, or maybe the Bowling ball colorway!
September 27, 2011 5:26 PM
Lots of lovely colors, but my favorites were Vineyard, Jade and Sangria
September 27, 2011 5:45 PM
I love Shore colorway! It is beautiful! Thanks for another chance at a great giveaway :0)
September 27, 2011 6:47 PM
I really like Sprout. It is a very pretty green and has some spots of color in it. Very nice.
September 27, 2011 6:48 PM
So many beautiful colorways! I'm parital to Smitten and Vineyard. And how can you go wrong with a colorway named Giggle?!? Thanks for sharing!
September 27, 2011 7:33 PM
I love the Sudden Valley, especially after reading the description of the name!
September 27, 2011 7:43 PM
lovely colors! really like Scoop and Serendipity!
September 27, 2011 7:55 PM
Today my favorite is Kalamata, but there are so many beautiful choices!
September 27, 2011 8:25 PM
I like Ink. So pretty.
September 27, 2011 8:35 PM
I love the Sprout colorway! It's so vibrant.
September 27, 2011 9:34 PM
wow! It's so difficult to pick just one! I loved so many... the one I liked best now was Honeysuckle! so beautiful!
babyloveknit on Ravelry
September 27, 2011 11:00 PM
Chalkboard and Sudden Valley. Unbelievable colors...
September 27, 2011 11:53 PM
They are all great colourways, but I think my favourite is Edisto. Just great!
September 28, 2011 3:16 AM
I like them all but I think my daughter would love the Sudden Valley.
September 28, 2011 5:52 AM
I have to pick Castle, because it reminds me of a stormy day.
September 28, 2011 6:17 AM
I love the colour combination of River.
Reminds me of the light rays reflected off those smooth stones in the river on a sunny day.
September 28, 2011 7:12 AM
Weenie, Savannah and Sangria all pop for me! I can't decide. Love them all.
September 28, 2011 8:12 AM
Some absolutely amazing colorways. I love River.
September 28, 2011 9:40 AM
Tough choice. I like the salad colorway but Abalone and Bing make very tough competitors.
September 28, 2011 9:42 AM
There are a lot of colorways I like! Beginning spring here, I'm going with a very spring-like one: Cheeky!
September 28, 2011 10:18 AM
Well... I didn't used Cakewalk Yarns ... but I would like to :)
September 28, 2011 10:20 AM
Beautiful colours! I like Vineyard, Ink, Magilla, and Yam the most.
September 28, 2011 10:31 AM
Iolite is among my favorites. It's got a lot of depth. Thought it was hard to choose.
September 28, 2011 10:45 AM
Such a lot of yummy yarn to choose from! I don't normally go for pastel colors. but Petal is just gorgeous!
FelicityS on Ravelry
September 28, 2011 10:49 AM
Ohhh Big Betty
September 28, 2011 11:06 AM
Tomboy. I will have to add this skein to my wish list. I have never seen anything like it beofre. It would make an awesome shawl or pair of socks. Just a neat color combo.
September 28, 2011 11:50 AM
Big Ness in squish - love it!
September 28, 2011 11:56 AM
I think Castle is my favorite color, but I really like the way Sudden Valley looks knit up...and since Arrested Development is referenced daily around here, I had to laugh when I saw the name. I can only hope that there's an Ideas Man in the works.
September 28, 2011 12:24 PM
I'm loving the Bikini colorway!
September 28, 2011 12:39 PM
This was easy for me - Salad! I love green.
September 28, 2011 1:47 PM
I love them all...but my favorite is Sudden Valley & Cherry Blossom!
September 28, 2011 2:26 PM
I'm kind of in love with Castle and Smitten. And how did I not know about this yarn before moving away from Ann Arbor?
September 28, 2011 2:29 PM
Weenie! To me it looks like someone shredded up newspaper with the funnies and made it into luscious sock yarn. Sudden Valley is also gorgeous and I love that it's title comes from Arrested Development.
September 28, 2011 3:11 PM
Abalone! I remember Mom used to have an abalone shell that had to be put away whenever she had a party, after someone used it as an ashtray. She was always a gracious hostess, but later we all got to listen to her full fury.
September 29, 2011 12:21 AM
Oh, wow, all of her colorways are beautiful! My favorite though, is the one featured in this giveaway! I have to admit, I was hooked the moment you said it's like sprinkles on a birthday cake, and that shawl is just GORGEOUS! I really hope I win this one!
September 29, 2011 2:30 AM
my favorite is Betty!

How to choose!?! I think it's Iolite, but there are so many great colors - Carlsbad, Castle, Ink...
September 29, 2011 8:48 AM
I really like the Hero Squad Sock yarn!
September 29, 2011 8:53 AM
Wow! All the yarn colors are fabulous, but I'd have to say that Rugby is my favorite one! It's just perfect!
September 29, 2011 11:40 AM
I really like Jam - and I love all the names - whoever heard of a yarn called bikini?
September 29, 2011 12:12 PM
Hero Squad would be my pick. I am going to knit this shawl!
Thanks for a chance in the giveaway!

September 29, 2011 1:19 PM
I like the "Backpack" colorway. I like the hints of color. I wish I could see it knit up.
September 29, 2011 2:40 PM
My favorite is Bikini. It was the first one I ordered and just fell in love with!
September 29, 2011 3:03 PM
I'm usually a (semi)solid kind of girl, but I really like Bloom and Sudden Valley. I love the random bursts of colour!
September 29, 2011 3:29 PM
The Aran weight Tree Frog is SCREAMING at me to make it into a monster!!
September 29, 2011 5:32 PM
oh wow! so many amazing colours! The one that kept catching my eye was Carlsbad :)
Great giveaway, thank you!!
September 29, 2011 7:25 PM
Cherry Blossom is my favorite. Would like a chance to knit with this yarn.

No way can I choose a favorite colorway but I am drawn to Balboa and the Bikini colors!
Thanks for the giveaway, Ve!
September 30, 2011 6:41 AM
I LOVE my honeyboy!!I saw it on her site just after visiting Memphis this past summer. Its pics on computer do it no justice at all!!
September 30, 2011 6:42 AM
I love Honeyboy!!! Memories of Memphis this summer...
September 30, 2011 8:18 AM
Yay, Rose! So happy to see you here. I, too, can heartily recommend Cakewalk Yarns. I made two Cookie A socks Debbie O'Neil Sock and have more in my stash. Lovely!
My favorite? Impossible. I adore Sprout, which may not be in the shop right now. And all the colors are beautiful. So, I'll choose the one I'd like to experiment with--Hero Squad. Never seen anything quite like it. Although, there is also Backpack and those lovely rose tones and . . . Best to stop now.
September 30, 2011 8:53 AM
Wow, this is a tough one. I think i like 'Castle' but I could pick out at least 5-6 more standouts!
September 30, 2011 10:17 AM
My favourites are Petal, Betty and Edisto, all sock yarns. But it's really hard to choose.
September 30, 2011 11:18 AM
It's very hard to pick one color because they all are so gorgeous and conjure up so many ideas. But for the sake of the post I will pick City. I am a city girl and was instantly attracted to the contrast of the greys and yellows.
September 30, 2011 1:10 PM
Ve, these are fabulous colors!! I like the one in the giveaway best, but this one in Cakewalk's shop is a very close second for me.. http://www.etsy.com/listing/74475063/sock-yarn-superwash-merino-nylon-hand

If I had to pick just one, Poptart in Sock weight, love the hints of pinks and greens in a beautiful shade of blue.

These are gorgeous! Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd have to go with Yoga Class.

My favorite was Sedona, although I saw several I would choose.

Honeyboy is beautiful. I like the Blues too so I loved the description

She has to be the best at yarn-dyeing that I've ever seen! Absolutely gorgeous, non-repetitive colorways!
I like the Sudden Valley the best. I have got to get some of this yarn to knit gifts before Christmas.
I'm so happy to have found your blog. I'll be reading regularly.

So many choices...Sock Yarn Hand dyed Superwash Merino Nylon - Honeyboy. I love red and this is such a great combination with the midnight blue!

i'm a real sucker for the ginger colourway. maybe it's because of the lovely fall weather!
October 3, 2011 6:09 PM
I really like Cherry Blossom -- aqua and pink together is always good. Never tried a speckled-y yarn before!
October 3, 2011 6:11 PM
So hard to pick just one favorite color, but I really like the Cakewalk color (red and green are my favorite colors).
October 3, 2011 8:11 PM
Everything is so lovely it's hard to pick. But as an Arrested Development fan, I'll go with Hero Squad.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

The ink color is really pretty! Summer M. ksmungle(at)comcast(dot)net

Hero squad, and Honeyboy... Oooo and Edisto too! I haven't even made through the first page! Edisto reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream... Mmmmm...

I think I like Savannah. It would make gorgeous topping for a cupcake hat, which is my current craving ;)
October 3, 2011 11:35 PM
I like Salad. A combo of fiber and greens - what's not to like?
October 4, 2011 2:44 AM
I actually like Hero Squad for its minty flavor.
October 4, 2011 7:57 AM
Oh there are so many to choose from. Planet and Castle are both high on my list but I'm gonna have to pick Oak Tree as my absolute favorite.
October 4, 2011 2:17 PM
I love the Magilla colorway in the sockweight. Thanks for the chance to win!
October 4, 2011 6:09 PM
I love Sudden Valley! And PERFECT for a Lacy Baktus- exactly what I would do with it. If I had to choose something other than Sudden Valley, it would have to be Chalkboard. Maybe I'd just have to get both.

Tomboy is beautiful!
October 5, 2011 9:54 AM
My favorite is Iolite!
