Kill Bill - The Contest

**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.

Kill Bill

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.**

    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?

  15. Posted June 17, 2007 at 8:16 pm | Permalink
    15

    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.

    Very bold colourway. And very “Kill Bill”!

    71

    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….

  72. Posted June 18, 2007 at 4:26 am | Permalink
    72

    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!

    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…

    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 ;)

  117. Posted June 18, 2007 at 8:08 am | Permalink
    117

    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!

    I just came across your site via the Knitty blog, and thought I’d try my hand at this contest. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! :) I love the Kill Bill colour, it’s beautiful.

    I’d say you probably have 52 skeins to dye in the next two weeks.

    Although 42 is always a good guess, it’s taken as are several other of my guesses so I’m saying 220 and hoping the spirit of Cascade brings me luck.

    I’m guessing 62 because numbers in the 100s just makes me stressed out for you!

    My guess is 153. Love the Kill Bill Colorway. I almost ordered Sweet Georgia’s version of it, but I like yours better. More GOLDEN. Oh, and you’re so darned lucky. Hanging out the legendary Amy Singer. *harumph*

    Cause that’s the number of photos January One (Cara) took on vacation that gave her a winner in her contest. I thought it would be fun if your numbers aligned.
