Recently, I made a shawl using Serendipitous Ewe Fate Fingering in Angela's "Estuary" colorway and I have gotten the most compliments on it than anything else I've knit thus far! I'm convinced it is the yarn and not my astounding knitting skills though! When Angela sent samples in of that yarn in December, I knew I must have it!
It's pretty easy to order a custom colorway from Serendipitous Ewe, I went to the website, clicked on the custom dyed yarn button and processed my order. I was contacted by Angela and made arrangements for yarn to be dyed and before I knew it, I was taking pictures of my lovely shawl. Angela processed my order as soon as she could, despite dealing with "snowmageddon".
Custom colors are great, but so are what Serendipitous Ewe has to offer on site!
Today we're giving away a beautiful skein of Chance Sock in "Jungle" which is a subtle striping fingering weight yarn. Please visit Serendipitous Ewe, find something that catches your eye, then report back to us here on the blog. We'll be drawing for winners tomorrow, so please hurry! Make sure you use twitter, facebook, your blog and ravelry to get extra entries- help us spread the Serendipitous Ewe word!

The Pomegranite color in Sport Weight would make a lovely sweater (Tappan Zee) from the latest Knitty!
I can see how the Galaxy colorway on a sock yarn can become a beautiful shawl!
For some reason I'm really loving "Flock" this morning. The colors just make me happy.
The Kettle Transitions in Galaxy looks lovely to me. =)
I love Jewels self striping! So lovely!
I love the Winter Twilight colorway. Fabulous!
I really like the Bobby Socks colorway. It looks like it would be fun to knit with!
I am really loving Crimson Sunrise.
I really like the Dart Frog colorway, partly because the color is great but mostly because of the name! So hard to choose which one, I had to figure out some way to pick LOL

I love the retro videogames sock club! If my son could knit he would WANT that club!!!

Blue Footed Booby! I'd take that in sock yarn and knit up some Skew. Giggling all the while, because apparently I'm 5.

I'm pretty much in love with all of the Kettle Transitions...but Bird of Paradise is definitely my fave! It's so colourful!!!
So many gorgeous colorways, it is hard to choose. I will go for Bodega...but there were at least a half a dozen equally intriguing colorways.
Love the water lily yarn.
I think the jewels self striping is my favorite.
I love the jungle Subtle Striping.
Subtle Striping water lily is beautiful
The purple haze would look great in Anne Hanson's new Sprossling pattern.
I just blogged about the contest at
elaine-knitting.blogspot.com
Those are lovely! Just looking, I think I might want to try the Jewels self-striping. Haven't done a self-striping sock before, and I think I'd like it. Perhaps the Dart Frog subtle striping as well.
Gorgeous stuff!
Today I'm in a Kettle Transitions mood. My base yarn choice would be Chance Sock Yarn and the Coral Reef colorway is exactly what I need right now.
The Jewels self-striping is my favorite. Gorgeous!
Jewels self-striping is my favorite, but so many beauties to choose from!
I really like the Galaxy and Nebula colorways.
Love the Jewels self-striping
Aurora Borealis and the Pomegranite and Strawberry Fields are all gorgeous! I can see lightweight shawls for summer made from soft sock yarn! Nebula, Coral Reef, Bird of Paradise, Raspberry Parfait....I love them all! So colorful!
I am so gonna twitter about this! Is she on facebook! I'd definitely friend them to get to word out to my crocheting and knitting friends!
I think Subtle Striping water lily is my favorite
Stained glass in "pansy" is lovely.
The Apogee is pretty stunning!
I'm in love with Pansy in the stain glass section. I love purples!
I would like to see how the hydrangea self striping yarn knits up. I have bought some Purple Passion hydrangeas to plant this year. My mother has several hydrangeas including the lace hydrangeas already planted.
Love the Flock yarn in the Winter/spring colors.
I love the subtlety of Hydrangea
LOVE the corral reef!! All of the kettle dyed are beautiful. Bird of Paradise reminds me of Zaubeball. Nicely done!
Bird of Paradise!

I am LOVING Bobby Socks and Birds of Paradise. I am in desperate needs of some bright colors and I love these.
LOve this one! Heliotrope
I want the Lucky Sock yarn in the Plum colorway. The bamboo/wool combination should feel wonderful.
Crimson Sunrise or Pumpkin Pie (or Estuary....)-- I love most of their solid or semi-solid colors. Beautiful! And what a variety of weights and bases. Looks like a great shop!
I love the Robin's Egg colour (especially for the sock yarns).
I love the Petals color. A soft pretty pink, without looking like baby pink.

I love the coral reef in the bamboo wool mix sock yarn I am already seeing a shawl in that one.
The Stained Glass solids are lovely, esp. the Nimbus.
Oh wow.... Oasis, Galaxy, Blueberry Parfait, and Bodega are my favorites in the Kettle Transitions section. Those would make quite lovely shawls!
Lovin' me some bobby socks! those bright pop's of color would be so much fun to see come alive.
I am quite in love with the colors in Bodega.

I love the Dart Frog colorway, and would select the Lucky Sock Yarn. I can just see how a pair of socks in this yarn would have me hopping for joy. Get it, hopping - frog? Ok, I'll shut up now and wait for my prize. Thanks again for your undending generosity, and that of your contributors.
I like the Tulip subtle striping yarn. It just looks like spring without too much of the greens that usually go with that descriptor!
I like the Winter Twilight colourway, too.
I really love the colorway Tulip & i am a sock yarn junkie after all!
The colorway of Water Lilly is simply stunning.

The color of "Crimson Sunrise" really caught my eye. Love it!
All of the Stained glass semi solids are just beautiful. In particular I love the evergreen, pumpkin pie (mmm...pumpkin pie), and sky colorways. I am sock crazy and all would look awesome as socks.
the Crimson Sunrise colorway is perfect for a shawl!

The Bodega colorway is so pretty, I want some, and I'm not usually a pink person.
