**The contest is over! There was ONE person who got the number right and four others who guessed the next closest number. I will use the random name generator for the second skein and announce the two winners in the morning!**
Thanks to Natalie’s comment in my post the other day I decided it was time for a new colorway. I give you - Kill Bill. Inspired by this image.
And one more to see the yarn in a little bit different light.
Click either/both images to see the bigger sizes.
Thank you Amy for the top picture. She helped me take the picture and come up with the contest. Amy rocks if I haven’t already said it. Tomorrow we get to have a dyeing party. Otherwise known as, Amy will help me work. Suckah! This yarn will be available in the shop July 1st.
Here is the contest. Guess how many skeins of yarn I have to dye in the next two weeks and win a skein of this new colorway. This total number includes the Indie Swag yarn too. The two closest people without going over or the two who get the number right win a skein of the yarn. If more than two get the right answer then I’ll do the random number generator thingy. Make sense? You have until Wednesday at 8:00pm MST to comment. Only one guess per person.
Ready? Go. You know you want the first ever skein of Kill Bill. It will bring you magical powers. Bad-ass powers!
Revenge is sweet,
The Black Mamba
**I see that Sweet Georgia has a Kill Bill as well but seeing as mine looks quite a bit different I’m going to keep the name.**

Hmmmm. I say….67.
I’m going to guess 70.
Wow..I LOVE it.
I’ll guess an even 80.
That colorway is amazing! I love the crisp contrast of the colors. My guess will be 106 skeins. Don’t forget to wear your gloves and load up on the
caffeine!
My guess is 92.
It looks great - I like the photos

Yeah, I dig that colorway and I’m not even a yellow person! But I know people who are, and CHRISTMAS KNITTING SEASON is starting soon….
I’d say 52.
BTW, I read the bit about the number including the indie swag yarn too, does this by chance spoil this month’s swag?
I think 158 skeins.
The Kill Bill colorway looks great. I’m thinking they would be a great honey bee sock yarn. *g* Seriously.
I’m in love with that colorway. If I don’t win, I’m going to have to get a skein of it from you. I’m going to guess 98.
I’m going to guess 120, which is totally a guess and an assumption of your magical abilities to zip through dye jobs.
I’m going to go higher than the numbers I’ve seen. I’m going to say 190, and if that’s ridiculous, well, I’ll just buy the damned thing
Cuz I love it.
The Kill Bill colorway rocks! It’s awesome.

Absolutely beautiful colorway! As always! My guess would have to be 275.

85–that’s the number that popped in my head!
77 - but after reading the other guesses I think I am low.
Okay, it makes me feel bad for you to say it, but I’ll guess 163 - I have a feeling all of these people are being too nice. I’ll also make it worse by saying that if I do win, I’ll finally break down and order Needles on Fire too….
How many hours are in your day? I’ll guess 42. That would be skeins, not hours. Although 42 hours would be a good thing some days!
Hrm, I am thinking 168. The yarn looks awesome! I love the Kill Bill Movies. =)
My guess is . . . 163. That’s a lot of yarn!
Woman! You would kill Bill with those arms! Awesome, Awesome yarn. Yellow is my favorite color!
I say 86!
32. NOT like my age.
BTW Congrats on the buff arms! Perfect for this photo shoot. You’d definitely Kick Bill’s butt!
I’m gonna go crazy and say, 214.
And that’s an awesome colorway, and an even more-awesome pic. Whoo!!
You’re going to be pretty busy no matter what the answer is. I’m going with 136.
Nice biceps.
The first number that popped into my mind is outrageous, so I’m going with my second instinct and saying 172.
My guess is 126.
Cool photo op! I’m going to guess 156…
I’ll go with 73.
Love the new colorway!
I’m guessing you will be busy with packaging and mailing the Indie Swag yarns and will only make it to the dye pot once. 44?
This colorway kicks ass :)!
Umm, I guess 83.
Sounds like a lot of work right?
-K

I’ll go with 99.
I’m guessing 148- very cool!
I love the colorway! 117 is my guess.
I’ll say - 46
66…probably wrong but oh well ;o)
i’m guessing 217.
GREAT colorway! right now, i’m doing jaywalkers in harlot’s mums and i promise a picture when they are done (but don’t hold you’re breath-it may take a while) AND i’m planning on monkey socks for gimlet. so many projects, so little (knitting) time…
also- LOVE the knife sharpener as the sword…
my initial guess is 28 and altough i might guess higher if i had a better idea of the volume you typically produce, i think i’ll stick with that
Oy! I never win any of these contests, but I keep on trying. I know you are a busy lady…..and my swag should be coming soon! (Yippee!) My initial guess was to go high, because you probably have special orders and projects up your sleeve, but I think I may go low and say that since you are busy with swag, you will just do that and then worry about other orders later……so
55 (since so many numbers are taken already!) Happy Dying! Great pic!
138. That seems like a reasonable number!
Love the colors and the name. I’ll guess 151.

Just to be different, I’m going to guess 826 (even though I don’t think that it’s humanly possible). Love the new colorway.
Love the colorway. My old high school colors!
