'Shades of the Forest' is a beautiful yarn. I think it would make a nice shawl!
I love the "Quite a Party" colorway, both on the roving and the yarn!
Ooooh love all the greens!! My fav!! On her site I'm in love with the falling for ewe roving...gorgeous!!
I'm totally diggin' the South Sea Isles sock yarn, i might have to make it mine /sigh
I'm having a hard time choosing between Lover of Art Laceweight, Fall in Sonoma Handpainted Corriedale Roving and Sea Coral Bitsy's Sock. All her colorways are amazing, and I love that each colorway comes in a variety of yarns and fibers, so you can mix and match!
The Something Sheepy Hat Kit is so cute and original- have not see anything like it before.
The Falling For Ewe Laceweight Wool Yarn with the Beaches at Night roving a very close second
I love the colorway in Beau Brummel Bitsy's Sock Yarn. It is yummy!
I'd have a hard time choosing between Manhattan Rhapsody and Beaches at Night sock yarn -- I live on Long Island, and both colours are so very evocative of the colours I see!

Love the Plum Crazy colorway
Gorgeous handspun . . . I love both the sheepy hat and the monkey kits . . .
I really like this:
Fall in Sonoma Handpainted Corriedale
Love this "Beau Brummel Bitsy's Sock - Superwash Merino High Twist Sock Yarn"! Looks super soft in the photos. Yay! Sock yarn yumminess!
shades of forest is gorgeous- and I would love to take a knitting class
I love the concept of spin a sock kits, and the colorways are really nice. I like the subtlety of the plums, grays, pinks, but the one with bits of yellow are nice too.
It was a very hard choice but I think I like Roses in France and Fall in Sonoma for my favorite colorways. Everything is so pretty it is hard to decide :-)
Tough choice but Plum Crazy is my favorite colorway.
I love South Sea Isles Bitsy's Sock
Blogged about it at

My daughter's living in France this year - I choose the Roses of France
The Plum Crazy colorway is gorgeous.
Roses of France is so vibrant. Tough choice by that's my fav.
They are all beautiful, but obviously Plum Crazy wins!
Roses of France Bitsy's Sock - Superwash Merino High Twist Sock Yarn is wonderful. Yum
Plum Crazy is wonderful!
Red has always been my favorite color so my vote is for Roses of France Bitsy's Sock.

Yikes. Those are all so gorgeous, and I love my sock yarn with a high twist, so I think I'd go with the "Fletcher's American Chocolate Choral Bitsy's Sock - Superwash Merino High Twist Sock Yarn", but I keep waffling between colorways - how can you choose?
Are you kidding? Of course, since I'm a spindle spinner, the SpinOlution Mach II Spinning Wheel!
But since, that's not gonna happen, I love the colorway of the Manhatten Rhapsody Bitsy's Sock yarn!
Well that's easy! Can I have a spinning wheel?? I'd also take some of the roving to go along with it :) How about the Chocolate Coral Corriedale Roving? Thanks for the contest!

i love the OOAK Self-Striping Handspun Sock Yarn - Shades of the Forest. how gorgeous. and over 4 oz.!!!
My absolute favorite was hard to choose, but I did narrow it down to "quite a party baby". Wonderful Fibers and so pretty.
I like the Nighttime in Araby - beautiful. But all her yarns and rovings looks fantastic.
I think that the Sea Coral sock yarn would make a great pair of socks for Spring! Thanks for the fun Irish-related give away :)

I may actually be in love with all of the laceweight yarns. I especially like the Lover of Art colorway.
