They told us we can't take it home until we give it a name. Would you please help?
Just like the last time, this will be a two step process. Here are the details.
Send your entry to contest AT lornaslaces DOT net with the subject line reading "New Yarn Name". We'll narrow the choices down to our three favorites by December 15th. Then we'll email a ballot with the top three to our newsletter subcribers on December 16th and let you vote for the winner. If you don't get our newsletter, you can sign up here. Voting will close at 12 noon central time on December 21st.
In case of multiple entries for the same name, we'll use a number generator to pick the ultimate winner.
You're probably wondering about the prize, aren't you? How about enough yarn to make a nice sweater sized project. The winner can pick the pattern and let us know how much they'll need and we'll send the yarn along.
Please keep in mind that we're not Publisher's Clearinghouse. Contests and giveaways aren't what we do every day. I'm trying to make things as simple and fair as I can. You could probably find a loophole to exploit, but let's try and play nice and just let this all unfold for what it is...fun, fun, fun!

Shouldn't that be Solesister? *Grin*

My entry: Wrapture - Keep warm, keep comfortable.
I thought I'd remind other commenters that the 'sole' in SoleMate is in reference to the foot (as in sock yarn). Based on the weight and yardage of this new (and exciting) yarn, I am guessing it is DK weight... something to keep in mind ;)
A Chicago Company and it has to be
......SWEETNESS
Elysian - blissful, delightful
Very excited for this one. Have some Solemate up next for husband socks! :-)
Given the time of year and the occassion how about something Joyful.
Joy
Joyful
Joyous
Rejoice
What a fun contest.
How about Kindred...a synonym of soulmate!
Or how about Kindred Sole!
OK - since alot of men like it and SoleMate is very indicative perfect mate - How about:
Mr. Right! (Sorry couldn't resist!)
or
Just RighT
Solstice
or rather solestice!
Since it's obviously not a sock yarn, how about Heartbeat?
Simple name? SweaterMate? Just as SoleMate refers to a sock yarn, this is also a description in a name and so a knitter will know what it is immediately.
OK. I sent my entry to lornaslaces.net. I think it should be: ULTIMATE or ULTI-MATE
How about Celestial, Star, Cloud, Solar Wind?
Don't count me out yet, I'm still thinking!
Entrapment so we could wrap ourselves in it and never come out.
I couldn't send a email either. Got invalid email address. Hmm wonder whats up with that. I am thinking since its a dk and would be great for a sweater , how about "my soul- encapsolated"
Meaning: soul: life,heart,spirit.
Encapsolated: contained all inside.
( wish I could figure out how to email the name. Thanks
Hmm....not sure why the email didn't go through. We've been getting them regularly since the contest started. Weird. I'll look into it.
Do you have a winner yet...we're waiting on pins and needles here!
Hi Catherine,
We announced the winner last week! http://lornaslaces.blogspot.com/2011/12/sportmate-it-is.html.
