I am quite excited about this weekend! Several phatties will be traveling here to spin, knit, eat and play together this weekend! Dawn from Dawning dreams is one of those phatties! Dawn and I have met a couple of times before and that woman is as sweet as pumpkin pie! Just look at this spinning starter set she's sent in for a giveaway! A beautiful but easy to spin batt and spindle!
I love just about everything in Dawn's shop and I hope she brings a few things to unload this weekend- wink wink! Maybe you all should pick some things out for yourselves so I'm not so tempted ;)
Please visit DawningDreams, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll award you extra points by using your mad social networking skillz and helping spread the good word about the shop! Drawing will be held on Friday so act quickly!

Lots to like, but this time I choose the BLUE MOON Handcarded Superwash Batt
FB as well :-)
Lurving the Pink Karoke Art Batt! Very pretty and looks squishy too. :->
Looove the colors she's done her laceweight yarns in! Midnight Fog and Drink me are absolutely lovely.
I really wish I could win the starter kit and finally learn to spin. I would like to start with VINEY supewash!
I like the Cottonwood sock/fingering yarn in superwash 400 yds.
Definitely the Grey Gods Bamboo/Rayon batt.
I love Blackberry Iris! It would be great to win a learn to spin kit. I have a friend that I am trying to draw into spinning. That would be the perfect starter set for her.
Those project bags are amazing! Love the blue and brown flowers. Definitely appealing to the scrapbooker lurking in my soul.
The Enchanted Mist is also gorgeous, I cannot lie :)
I love the MIDNIGHT FOG Hand Painted Lace Yarn, 1300 yards
I will tweet and face book also.
I like spinning for socks, and Dawn has so many sock fibers to choose from. My current favorite is Viney.

I love the Blue Swirl sock batt, and the Blue and Brown Mod Flowers project bag would be perfect to put it in!
OPALITE Alpaca, cashmere, and silk spinning batt is GORGEOUS! This is a must have for me.
I want to learn to spin in a bad way - this giveaway is perfect! She has so many wonderful sock yarn colors; I am torn between peach cobbler and twilight forest.
The Midnight Fog lace yarn would make a beautiful shawl!
I'm loving the pyramid project bags. All of them lol. Which reminds me I need to get shopping for one!
I was just looking at Dawn's etsy shop last night, as I ponder my next project! I'm really looking forward to trying the superwash batts sometime - the Ginger Mead would make wonderful socks and is such an unusual color! Socks are my knitting passion and spinning the yarn for them is just a joy!
I absolutely LOVE the triangle bags! I'm getting one for sure. The Viney batt is absolutely gorgeous! Off to spend!!!
I am a wannabe spinner currently fighting off the inevitable. When I finish my Holiday projects, I'm definitely going to explore spinning. I love the BLUE MOON and VINEY batts.
The Midnight Fog laceweight is great. Her colors are great.
gorgeous blackberry iris!
i love the thunderstorm art batt so [pretty vbarton24 at gmail dot comm
I love the Peach Cobbler sock yarn! They would be beautiful Marigold Socks!

Wow! Awesome shop! Love the midnight fog handpainted yarn- would make an awesome shawlette! Love the triangle bags too. They rock!
Ginger Mead Superwash Wool Batt
Cherry Blossom's so gorgeous! :-) Although everything in her shop's just wonderful stuff - check out the Roaring 20's Inspineration box.
The blackberry iris colorway looks very pretty
I'm torn between the cherry blossom batt and the polka dot triangle project bag. I really like the triangle design of the bag. I haven't seen it before.
Wowwww. I love the triangle bags and the spinner's lap cloths. And all the gorgeous batts!
The Peach Cobbler Sock/Fingering Weight Yarn looks yummy!

Oh wow... this store may just break my newly imposed yarn diet. I must admit both the lace yarns are just beautiful. Drink Me is just great! I'm sad to see she doesn't have the pattern to go with it in the store at the moment or I'd be in real trouble. ;)
Love, Love, Love the color of the ENCHANTED MIST Sock/Fingering yarn!!!
Thanks :)
the Grey Gods roving looks delightful!
thanks for this giveaway!
So much great stuff, but I really love the Blue and Brown Flowers Triangle, Pyramid Project Bag, 9 inches.
First of all those project bags are so cool! But, I'm really in love with the "SECOND SUNSET Mohair locks". Lovely.
I really like the Enchanted Mist Sock/Fingering weight yarn. I am jashleyslc on ravelry.
I have wanted to learn to spin for a long time and would love to have this learn-to-spin kit. Such pretty fibers! I love them all. I would particularly love to make something with the Pink Karoke Batt.
I love the Thunderstorm art batt!

Since I'm a beginner - this would be so perfect! And it's so beautiful too. I love her tangerine superwash.
Oh my goodness, that OPALITE Alpaca, cashmere, and silk spinning batt is gorgeous! She has a lot of lovely things!

Sounds like weekend that could be potentially dangerous to the budget. If I were going to be there I'd want Dawn to bring me some LEMON LIME LATE NIGHT Sock/Fingering yarn 400 yards!
I think the triangle project bags are great! My favorite is the polka dot blue and brown bag.
I love all the colors, but my favorite of those listed is the "Cherry Blossom".
Just what I need, another addiction of fibery goodness! The spindle would be easier to hide than a spinning wheel however.
'bschlot' on ravelry
I do love her 'project' bags.
A person can't have enough of those or spindles!
The Opalite spinning batt is a lovely color and sounds heavenly! How can you go wrong with alpaca, cashmere and silk?
I love my socks to stand out and Lemon Lime Late Night should would do the trick. It looks amazing!
"Thunderstorm" looks absolutely luscious!
Oooh, I like her Lemon Lime Late Night sock yarn! Such vivid colors.
I like the Blue Swirl Superwash Sock Batt. Beautiful!
The pyramid project bags are so neat looking!! I like the blue with polka dots especially.
That Roaring 20's box looks like fun!
FB and Tweet
the plum pudding is plum pretty!
the fiber club is very, very tempting
I seriously can't pick just one thing! I literally want ALL of it! So that is my choice, everything!
The triangle bags are so cool. And the lace weight yarn is such a good price for the yardage.
Lemon Lime Late Night is a great mix!
I really like September's TANGERINE Superwash Roving. Superwash is so fun to spin.
The DRINK ME Hand-Painted Lace Yarn 1300 yards is so pretty!
I had a terrible shock when I went to Dawning Dreams shop this morning and it was closed. OH NO! Then I read it was because Dawn is visiting Jessie. OH YAY! Hope you both have a great time. I dug into the past sales and found this Opal Gemstone Whorled Drop Spindle. Truly lovely.
Wow, so much to love, I've found a new favorite! I narrowed it down to 3 favorites, and can't do better than that right now.
