A little shadey match-up contest!

by depravedDyer on April 23, 2013

I’ve been in a shaded solid kind of mood and have been working on some lovely subtle hues. I’m done with the first round and since I’m neck deep in rare gem mill end dyeing and short on photography time. I thought maybe this would be a good time for a colorway contest while we wait for me to get these up on the website (by the end of this week). I promise.  Below you’ll find 11 colorways and their names. Yes, we’ve already named them; we couldn’t help ourselves.  Now it’s your turn to have some fun and see if you can get inside our heads (scary proposition, I know) and guess which names go with which colorway. Fun right?  I think it will be great fun.
The first 4 knitters to correctly match each of the 11 colorways  with their appropriate (the ones we gave them) name win their choice of 4 of these gems. Please put your guesses in the comments.

The colorway pictures are numbered for ease of matching!!

List of names: Gourdy
Pistachio
Strawberry Fields Forever
Sea Foam Home
Blade Runner
Mauvelous
Sabertooth Caterpillar
What’saaabi
Chillaxin
Passive Aggressive Green
Big Brain Blue

Ready, set…match!

    Dear Tina,
    Did you mean that the competition is continuing
    over the weekend even though the new colors are live?
    ( I hope this is so, because as you can see I have entered
    again!).
    I love them ! They make me so feel happy and calm.
    I wonder where you met that Sabertooth Caterpillar, was it
    in the same place that the Blade Runner resides?

      Ditto. I also entered again after seeing the colours on the website. Please disregard my entry if that isn’t what you intended. 🙂
