So today, I was just
You know, like every other day. Sittin’ around. Doing nothing except rocking in the ol’ rocking chair and admiring the view.
And I thought to myself, “Self, you oughtta give away a skein of yarn.”
And then I answered myself.
I said, “Self, you are correct. I shall see to it at once.”
I love it when I listen to myself.
This skein is not just any old skein. It has magic in it, old magic. Creative magic. The magic of Creativity.
Sometimes the mood strikes me to make something new and different. I often have to ignore my friend Creativity, much to her chagrin.
But sometimes I can’t ignore her. She begs and stamps her foot and sticks out her lower lip. She beckons, and I am helpless but to follow.
This is a one of a kind colorway. It is part of a small dye lot, and can never, ever be recreated. I didn’t write down the recipe, I didn’t follow my usual methods, I just dumped and mixed and tasted until it was right.
Here’s what I’m thinking. Sometimes, I will let Creativity have her way. I will make special colorways that have never been seen before and will never be seen again. Colorways like this:
And once in a while, I’ll put this never-to-be-seen-again colorways up for sale, just for fun.
This will let me be creative and will let you get something extra special.
I already have about 25 special creative skeins ready to rock. Instock and ready to rock, just the way they should be.
But I want to have a name for these special stockings, so I can say, “Super Duper Creative Yarn Stocking Tomorrow!” or, “Wednesday will be a Special Spectacular Skein Stocking!”
This is where you and the giveaway meet. If you can give me a name that I like for these stockings, I will give you this skein of yarn:
It’s Adorn Sock. It will never be seen again after this Awesomely Amazing — or whatever I end up calling it — stocking that I’ll have in the near future.
Here are some ideas that I have so far:
Serendipity Skeins
Batch of the Day
Yarn du jour
Something along these lines. You leave a comment with a suggestion. If I pick yours, I’ll send you the yarn.
To clarify, this isn’t a suggestion for the name of the colorway, you’re suggesting a name for the ongoing series of stockings I have planned with one of a kind colorways.
I will take suggestions until 7:30 pm Eastern tomorrow, and will choose something tomorrow evening. Feel free to enter as many times as you like, I need all the help I can get.
Help! Creativity will wait for no woman!

I think something with a buried treasure theme…think of the possibilities. Treasure trove, pirate treasure, treasure cave, treasure map. It seems like you could riff on it for eons and never run out. It also implies sort of a secret private aspect to it…only a select group knows about or ever finds buried treasures, the rest of the world goes blithely on never suspecting the wonder beneath their feet.

I have two suggestions:
1. “Sui Generis” stock update - Sui Generis is latin and means one of a kind, of it’s own genus/class and unique. All of your yarns fit into this, but these are extra special on their own, so if fits really well. See wikipedia for more.
2. “Yarnista’s Fancies” - as everyone knows, diamonds aren’t really rare, but diamond fancies are - they are the strongly coloured ones. They come in a variety of colours too - yellow, green, blue, orange, brown, purple, grey, black, milky white, pink, red. So you could call this Yarnista’s Fancies. Check for more info here: http://www.curiousnotions.com/gemstones/ down the bottom under diamonds, or http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/amber/go340/students/flax/fancy.htm for pics and far more info.
