I would design a little shawl out of it. Something very airy and light. The colors are just so springy.
July 16, 2012 at 7:58 PM
I like Hannah Fettig's Sock Yarn Sweater with short sleeves. It's all about the yummy yarn. Rav amchart
July 16, 2012 at 8:21 PM

i would go search ravelry for something fun to make. probably a shawl or a shrug.

I think it would make awesome gloves. And a matching hat if there were enough left.
July 16, 2012 at 8:50 PM
I would LOVE to win that yarn! Holy smokes.... gorgeous. Those spattery colourways are nutso pretty. I think I would make Summer Wind! (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/summer-wind) I think it would really show off all the variegation in a lovely way :) OR I could see it looking stunning as part of a Roxborough Dolman (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/roxborough-dolman), maybe with some cool gray for contrast!
Love the skype interview too! So fun to watch!

July 16, 2012 at 8:51 PM
I think I would make the Mockery Socks!
July 16, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Socks! Or else an awesome cowl. :)
July 16, 2012 at 9:08 PM
I haven't made socks in a while, so I think it would be socks like "Froot Loops" from Knitty. They are perfect for variegated yarn.
Thx for a great contest!
(goodstuff on Rav)
July 16, 2012 at 9:10 PM
Socks. Or maybe part of a sock yarn blanket for Little Man. But, really, let's be honest...socks.
July 16, 2012 at 9:24 PM
Socks! They're not my most favorite thing in the world to knit but they are definitely my favorite thing to wear, so it all balances out. I love seeing pretty socks on my feet.
July 17, 2012 at 12:35 AM
Cakewalk does always scream socks to me, but your comment about garter stitch got me thinking...
July 17, 2012 at 2:18 AM
Probably socks, it's always nice to add a splash a colour to my feet :)
July 17, 2012 at 4:24 AM
I'm thinking of making a pair of socks or using part of it for the tiny owls beekeeper's quilt where you knit little hexapuffs out of your leftover sock yarn.
July 17, 2012 at 4:37 AM
I would do matching mother daughter socks as a way to help keep my daughter who is leaving the nest for college and myself connected. I imagine us putting on our socks in our own worlds but thinking of one another and stepping closer and further away.
July 17, 2012 at 4:46 AM
Hello.
If I win the Cherry Blossom yarn I would knit a pair of socks. The colors are so pretty. Thank you for offering the yarn give away.
Deborah
July 17, 2012 at 4:57 AM
I would make another pair of Monkey socks, they show off variegated colours so well!
July 17, 2012 at 5:08 AM
I would have to do a pair of socks. This yarn is all about the socks!
July 17, 2012 at 5:20 AM
I think I would love to knit a citron shawl with it! Thank you so much for a great giveaway! :-)

July 17, 2012 at 5:54 AM
That yarn is amazing! If I was to win, I would make the Thin Ice shawl by Laura Linneman. I would love to own this yarn!!
July 17, 2012 at 5:55 AM
I would make something that used the Feather and Fan pattern because 1) it's one of my favorites, 2) it shows off variegated real nicely.
I've been knitting shawls for a few years now, cuz I love knitting lace, and I might design a shawlette for this yarn.
July 17, 2012 at 5:57 AM
I would definitely have to make something for the kidlet..."Summer Days" or the "Angel Fish Skirt" - both patterns by Elena Nodel.
July 17, 2012 at 6:03 AM
Soooo many creative choices this delicious yarn offers!!!!
I think I'd like to work it as a adorable granny square baby car seat cover. Bet it would be really cute!If the yarn isn't quite enough I'm sure I could find something in my stash in a coordinating solid color to finish with a nice border!
Keeping my hook and needles crossed that I'm picked!
July 17, 2012 at 6:09 AM
Ohh, such pretty yarn! I think I would make Susan's hippo from her Itty Bitty toy book and some sock. I recently started knitting socks and know it would be fun to knit a pair with this wonderful yarn!
Jennier (jenb69 on Ravelry)
July 17, 2012 at 6:12 AM
I would use this wonderful yarn to knit a baby set. I have several babies being born in the next few months and this yarn would inspire me!
July 17, 2012 at 6:13 AM
knee socks!!!
July 17, 2012 at 6:15 AM
I want to make a Lacy Baktus scarf out of it. Loved the interview.

July 17, 2012 at 6:18 AM
I like Jennifer's idea of making Susan's hippo with this, or a really pretty bunny, also. Definitely a toy.

I would knit a shawl for sure. Probably autumn flutters. Thanjs for the chance! amyroz@hotmail.com

I really enjoyed the interview. I would make a shawl if I won the Cakewalk yarn! Thanks for the giveaway.
Mary (me6 on Ravelry)
July 17, 2012 at 6:32 AM
This yarn is so pretty! I would make a sweater for my little girl due in Nov like this: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sock-yarn-sweater---childs-version
or this:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/newborn-vertebrae
or maybe something for myself...so hard to decide!
July 17, 2012 at 6:35 AM
I've become recently addicted to shawls. So I'd probably search for a springy shawl pattern (because cherry blossoms remind me of spring...and DC...but mostly spring)!
July 17, 2012 at 6:36 AM
I would probably make Susan's 'How I make My Socks' pattern for some classic beautiful socks!!
Loved the interview!
Leanne (lunatic84 on rav)
July 17, 2012 at 6:37 AM
I think I would make zilver I love the simplicy of the pattern it would really showcase the yarn.
July 17, 2012 at 6:40 AM
I'd make a pair of socks but this time I'd try to break out of my usual 3x1 rib and go for either a lace or cabled pattern (or both!)
July 17, 2012 at 6:42 AM
I think I would make LaLa's socks on a plane or a hat with a cute ruffle and mittens for my 4 year old out of Cherry Blossom.
July 17, 2012 at 6:49 AM
OMG that yarn is so so pretty. Thanks Susan..I'm a huge fan of yours and a chance to win this is exciting. What I would make with it...Hmmm...it would definately be a shawl to show off the amazing yarn.
Thanks
July 17, 2012 at 6:58 AM
I'd probably do a shawl, I've been on a kick for those lately, and I love that sock yarn is perfect for them.
(misslillyknits on Rav)
July 17, 2012 at 7:00 AM
I would make a pair of ruffled socks. I think that would be so cute.
knit2crochet on Ravelry
July 17, 2012 at 7:02 AM
That yarn is awesome!
I'd make a Lombard street shawl. It's so airy, and the yarn is so summery. I think it would be the perfect match!
July 17, 2012 at 7:10 AM
Cakewalk yarn is lovely! The colors are so vivid and reminiscent of favorite childhood places...such as the bakery:) If i won the cherry blossom yarn I would make a top down hooded children's sweater or socks. I am completely obsessed with sock knitting this year.
Great interview! Thanks for sharing:)
Hilary Lindsey (rav id)
July 17, 2012 at 7:23 AM
Hmm...as much as I would like a pair of socks with this yarn, I think it would make for an adorable baby sweater for my little girl. :)
Susan - I love watching videos with you! You're just so full of energy and enthusiasm - it's hard not to be happy and excited with you. :)
July 17, 2012 at 7:24 AM
Thanks for the great interview with Susan! As for the yarn, I would let the yarn "speak" to me, see it, touch it and then decide what I would make out of it. Sooo many great patterns to choose from.
July 17, 2012 at 7:25 AM
Thanks for giving away such awesome yarn. The colors are beautiful! I would make a pair of socks probably with the tadpoles pattern or the saucy pattern. Ravelry Id Nonosmom
July 17, 2012 at 7:31 AM
I love following you and Susan but not very happy you guys weren't considerate of me as I am deaf and I cannot hear what you guys were talking about to get the question in order to participate in the contest. I would love to enter in the contest but I guess I can't now!
July 17, 2012 at 7:40 AM
I would love to get my hands on some of this yarn. I would make the Baby Mystery sweater. I have wanted to try that pattern and think this would be so pretty.
July 17, 2012 at 7:40 AM
I think that the speckled Cakewalk Yarns need pretty simple patterns. I am knitting a pair of Pillars socks by Lisa Stichweh in the Taos colorway. So, if I knit a pair of socks, I would choose something pretty simple.
I think this yarn would also make a great slouchy hat, like Sockhead or even Susan's Baby Slouch!
July 17, 2012 at 7:41 AM
I would make socks or a shawl. I keep falling in love with shawls.
July 17, 2012 at 7:43 AM
I would definitely make socks, just plain socks with no pattern to show off the pretty yarn.
July 17, 2012 at 7:47 AM
Thanks for the interview, I love reading Susan's blog and it's fun to see her live. I haven't made many socks for myself and I certainly want some fun ones, so I would definitely use that yarn to make socks.
July 17, 2012 at 7:50 AM
I would love to make socks.
July 17, 2012 at 8:03 AM
The yarn is gorgeous and I loved watching the interview. I think I would make a hat with it.
July 17, 2012 at 8:06 AM
I love socks but I think I would do a shawl...one with a fair bit of garter to show off colors....maybe Multnomah.
July 17, 2012 at 8:22 AM
i think a shawl. Or a pair of fingerless gloves!
craftink or rav

I would make a pair of Vanilla Latte socks. I love this colourway and it would make awesome socks.

Thanks!

July 17, 2012 at 9:02 AM
I would make footie socks. I have bigger feet for a girl (size 12)so making footies gives me more "bang" for my yarn. I can get 3 (!) socks for mix n' match fun. AND, I love Cakewalk Yarn--awesome giveaway!
July 17, 2012 at 9:21 AM
As much as I love sock knitting, I'd want something that lasts longer. So I'd choose a shawlette. Something with simple garter only so that the yarn is the focus, not the pattern of holes in the lace.
July 17, 2012 at 9:33 AM
I would make one of the Hitchhiker shawls!
July 17, 2012 at 9:50 AM
It's so pretty, it would be hard to not see it if I were to make socks, so I would use it for a shawl. A very, very beautiful shawl. :)
July 17, 2012 at 10:08 AM
I'd make some gloves or something so that I could see the yarn while I was wearing them!
July 17, 2012 at 10:09 AM
I think my cousin Jenny's new baby would look great in a kimono style baby sweater in the Cherry Blossom colorway!
July 17, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Cute interview! I am coveting this yarn, I would make socks, I think. But I did just add the Baktus scarf to my queue so maybe...thanks for the giveaway. averill73 rav id
July 17, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Oh. My. Gosh. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous! I really dont know what to make out of it though because it is too lovely.... Maybe a shawl? :)

I would make the looped infinity scarf by Vivian Aubrey. The pattern looks sooo different. I love it and the yarn is the perfect compliment.

I'm sort of in shawl overload right now---although I think it would be beautiful in that yarn (and should I win!!!!!!! I might change my mind!!!!), but right now I'm thinking socks, socks, socks!!!
Thanks offering such a wonderful gift!
July 17, 2012 at 11:01 AM
I think it would be really pretty as socks or a twisted rib neck warmer by Michelle Johnston.

July 17, 2012 at 11:37 AM
I would probably also search ravelry for a fun new project. A shawl would be nice but I would like to branch out to socks...
July 17, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Ooo gorgeous colorway! I would make something to show it off...a simple shawl or socks. :)
July 17, 2012 at 12:11 PM
Definitely socks. My feet would be happy.
July 17, 2012 at 12:53 PM
I love this yarn! The color is so cheerful. I would definitely make some socks with this yarn. It would look great as Monkey socks.
July 17, 2012 at 12:58 PM
Love the interview glad I found your blog by looking around on Ravelry. I would probably make my first pair of socks or my first shawlette. Thanks for the chance to win.
July 17, 2012 at 1:02 PM
I was thinking the opal bunny might be cute out of the give away yarn with the matching hat for my newborn cousin. Or perhaps a shawl... But I love making the little toys and Susan's patterns are the best. Thanks!
July 17, 2012 at 1:19 PM
ohhhhhh....hard decision.....but probably a pair of socks!!! I love the yarn!
July 17, 2012 at 1:22 PM
I would knit a shawl or a Lacy Baktus with this yarn.
July 17, 2012 at 1:29 PM
I would knit a hat or scarf or shawlette,
July 17, 2012 at 1:34 PM
I would pair it with some solid black for colorwork that would really pop! Maybe for a Fractal Cowl, but possibly for socks. I love socks.
July 17, 2012 at 1:59 PM
If I win the Cakewalk Yarns I would make a pair of socks, a shawlette, or maybe Susan's Hippo from Itty Bitty Toys.
July 17, 2012 at 2:06 PM
Oh, a large summer shawl, and maybe some socks!
July 17, 2012 at 2:20 PM
Socks for my hubby!
July 17, 2012 at 2:29 PM
I am lusting after this color now!! I would love to make a linen stitch cowl, or maybe even a lacy or ruffled baktus out of this yarn. And if I had any scraps left over they would become a cute bracelet or eve a hexipuff for my blanket :)
July 17, 2012 at 2:32 PM
I love the color!! I would make my first pair of socks.

Susan's Opal Sock Yarn bunny inspires the idea of using this to make an itty bitty toy.
July 17, 2012 at 3:41 PM
At first I thought of making some fun socks - but socks are my go-to project. So maybe I'd branch out and make something else like a hat or cowl or mitts. Or maybe just another pair of socks!
July 17, 2012 at 4:09 PM
Lice Cakewalk yarns I would make PEI. Cowl.
Thanks
July 17, 2012 at 4:10 PM
If I won the yarn I would make a pair of Cherry Blossom socks.
JaneBG1923 on Ravelry
July 17, 2012 at 4:14 PM
I think some sort of sideways shawl would be my choice.
July 17, 2012 at 4:25 PM
I'd make a pair of colourwork socks, either Nightingale or Bonnie Birds, I'm bound to have a good contrast yarn in my stash and if not I can dye something.
July 17, 2012 at 4:35 PM
I'd probably make a really simple pair of socks - either ribbed or with a simple cable (maybe with an interesting gusset to spice things up, but I wouldn't want to choose a pattern that would compete with the yarn).
July 17, 2012 at 4:47 PM
I would make socks - I love the yarn

July 17, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Oh beautiful! I would knit the Westport Shawl by Sarah Wilson recently in Knit Scene....so pretty!
July 17, 2012 at 6:30 PM
This yarn is so FUN!! I recently started knitting socks, so I would probably knit some of those :)
July 17, 2012 at 6:42 PM

July 17, 2012 at 7:11 PM
Socks are my favorite thing to knit, so that is what I would lean towards. But............ the baktus shawl has been something that I have thought about knitting. The yarn is lovely!

I've been wanting to knit a Stephen West Clockwork shawl/scarf. I'd order a coordinating solid to knit along with this gorgeous yarn, or I've been wanting to knit a Hitchhiker, OR I would knit my first pair of socks. Thanks for the chance to win! Yum! Stephanie (indigodogmt on Rav)
July 17, 2012 at 7:34 PM
I would definitely try making some socks, or a giant shawl. Oh! Or maybe something lacy to pull over a tank top. :)

I came across Cakewalk Yarns when I was stalking etsy a few weeks ago, now there's a giveaway - it's calling me :p.
What would I knit.....? I love Strickmich's Lintilla shawl. I love how the garter stitch brings out the colour variegation and those ruffles are beautiful. With the Australian summer on the way it's such a lovely light summery colourway - Cherry Blossom, Lintilla and the Aussie summer are made for each other.
Thanks to Susan B Anderson for introducing me to such a great blog :D.

I would be so excited to win this beautiful yarn. Not terribly original, but if I won I think it would have to become a pair of socks. I have so many pairs on my fav'd list one of them would of course be just right! Thanks for the interview with Sasan (knitted along on the Patchwork socks, great fun!) and offering this lovely yarn.

Cakewalk makes some of the most visually interesting yarns I've ever seen. I am smitten. I'd make socks, simple socks, to show off the awesome colors :) with any leftovers I'd make more hexipuffs!

Baktus has been in my queue. That would be a great choice~

I think I would use it to make a baby hoodie for a sweet little friend. Her eyes are blue and the colors would compliment them so well!

I would make a beautiful cowl/fingerless mitts set out of this yarn. I live in chilly MN, so we wear these almost year round!
July 18, 2012 at 2:02 PM
Oh my! I have this yarn in my favorites already. :-)I would SO love to win it and I'd be knitting a shawl with it. Possibly a Citron, but there are so many choices!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some.

I think would make a shawl. I need a shawl. Or a hat.

If I win the beautiful Cakewalk yarn I would knit the 22.5 shawl. Revelry ID hedgiesyarn

Probably socks. Or a shawl. Even when I love knitting and wearing socks I think I wouldn't like this yarn to hide into my shoes...
July 18, 2012 at 6:12 PM
I would definitely do a small shawl.
July 18, 2012 at 7:32 PM
Well I like knitting socks, so I'd probably make a great pair of socks :)
July 18, 2012 at 7:55 PM
You were so engaging with Susan. This was a fun interview! I have queued the bowland shawl and would love to see this come to life.
July 18, 2012 at 8:03 PM
After the patchwork sockalong, I have been in a sock knitting mood so I would probably knit another pair.
July 18, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Beautiful spring colors I would love to knit with this...I would make a lacy shawlette like Zuzu's Petals, something elegant, but also light to wear on a spring day!
July 18, 2012 at 8:28 PM
I'm thinking a shawlette would be perfect!
Thanks for the chance to enter -- Rose's yarns are scrumptious!

Enjoyed the interview so much. If I were to win that beautiful yarn I would knit some fingerless mitts to take on my trip to Alaska.

Not socks as the beautiful colours would be hidden. So to complement the colours I would knit either a plain cowl or plain shawl.
July 19, 2012 at 2:36 AM
Awesome!
I would make new shawl

I would knit a pair of socks! I have admired Susan's for a while now! :)
July 19, 2012 at 7:11 AM
Finally hadtime to watch and really enjoyed it. It's always great to see/hear Susan. I really like the colorway of the yarn and probably would look for a shawl or scarf pattern to match it up with. Hope I win! :-)
July 19, 2012 at 7:55 AM
I think I would knit Megan Williams' new shawl Simply Riveting. I love Cakewalk and Susan B. Anderson. What a great interview! She's just so sweet.
July 19, 2012 at 8:00 AM
Thanks for the giveaway! I'd probably make a shawl.

I would knit Ysolda Teague's Marin shawl. I think this yarn would look really pretty.
Thanks for going international! :-)
July 19, 2012 at 8:52 AM
I know it's a bit boring but I'd knit socks. I love them and love this yarn. Oh... or maybe a pair of gloves. So many possibilities.
July 19, 2012 at 8:57 AM
I would also knit some socks. I saw some Susan made and have longed for some of this yarn for a pair.
July 19, 2012 at 8:58 AM
I knit the new leftie pattern. This color would be the background and the 'leaves' would be all different colors. Thanks for the chance to win.

Thank you for the giveaway. I enjoyed the interview and as this is my first time to your blog, I'll have to go back and read some. If i were to win, i too, d probably make socks. Possibly a shawlette but with school starting soon, I need small portable projects.
July 19, 2012 at 9:23 AM
I would knit a pair of socks. I've seen the ones Susan made and I love them.
July 19, 2012 at 9:26 AM
I love this cakewalk yarn. I tried to order some of this color way and it was all sold out. Love it!
July 19, 2012 at 10:20 AM
That looks gorgeous! I would make a shawl I think. Or a sweater...
July 19, 2012 at 10:26 AM
I enjoyed the interview with Susan. What beautiful yarn. It will be tough to decide if I win, a shawl or socks for me, or a sweater and hat for my new granddaughter?
July 19, 2012 at 10:38 AM
I would love to make the infinity scarf "string theory." Loved the interview.

I would knit sweater for my daughter with this yarn, it's gorgeous!
July 19, 2012 at 11:35 AM
Such beautiful colors! I would knit a pair of plain vanilla socks.
The colors alone would be the design for the stockinette part of the socks.

I think I would knit socks or maybe a shawl. The yarn is so gorgeous it would look awesome in anything!

I would knit plain vanilla socks, very similar to Susan's - i think the simpler the better, for this yarn!
July 19, 2012 at 12:38 PM
WoW! such great yarn...I might knit a cowl or socks..my feet are always cold.

I am on a sock kick right now, so it would have to be socks. I have made two pair by Susan's pattern and have given both away! Love them!!! I need to make some for myself!
July 19, 2012 at 12:46 PM
Socks... maybe 2 sets of matching socks for my beautiful grand-daughters! Or possibly something else for them...I rarely knit for myself )=
I love the Skype interview format! It's awesome to see. Thanks so much... and thank you for the giveaway, too. jdthomas1974(at)msn(dot)com

I've tried so many times to make socks, but I keep frogging them... maybe I just need the right yarn! :-)
July 19, 2012 at 1:10 PM
I think that I would make a simple shawl with the yarn. I love the colors!

I covet Susan's socks made with this yarn so I'd either do some socks or a lacy cardi for my two-year-old.
Thx for the interview!

Can't decide between Mince Pie Mayhem socks by Alice Yu or the Roam Cowl by Jennifer Dassau, I'm leaning towards the cowl though!
July 19, 2012 at 2:58 PM
I would definitely make socks with this yarn. I could make a couple of pairs for my son's 5 and 7 year old best girl friends.
Thanks so much!

I see one of Susan's toys made out of this yarn. The hippo or maybe a bird with the color changes. I have my fingers crossed!!
July 19, 2012 at 4:27 PM
Even though I'm not a great sock knitter, this yarn would be great for a fun pair of socks. Second would be a shawl, that would be really fun in these colors.
July 19, 2012 at 4:44 PM
I would love to knit with this yarn. I would knit a shawl, I think! I've been looking at the baktus pattern, but a cardigan for my granddaughter would be a consideration, too!
