TIME’S UP! Biggest yarn giveaway… ever!
Monday, March 23, 2009 at 5:31PM
Time is up! We'll be liveblogging the winners today (Wednesday) around 12:00 noon EST.
Have you seen our Spring Lookbook yet? (Even if you do nothing but flip through and think, "Cool," that will make me happy.)
We are giving away every skein of yarn pictured in the Spring Lookbook. Every single skein. All twenty of them.
This one:
And this one:
And this one:
And all seventeen more. We're not giving away the other stuff in the pictures, just the yarn.
There is no catch. You don't have to buy anything, you don't even have to pay for shipping. All you have to do is enter.
Contest rules: One entry per person. Our blog logs IP addresses, so we can check. Please enter only one time. You cannot be an employee of Three Irish Girls or be related to an employee of Three Irish Girls. (Got that, honey?) Your entry must be received by 4:30 am Eastern time on Wednesday, March 25th. Entries sent after that time will not be included in the contest.
Here's how it works: Reply to this post, answering the question below. You must actually reply to this post, do not email in your answer. (Click on the Read User's Comments link, and scroll down. It will take you to a box where you can reply.) After all the entries have been received, the number of entrants will be divided into 20 groups. One winner will be selected from each of the 20 groups. This is to improve your chances of winning. For example, if there are 100 responses, I will divide everyone into 20 groups. Each group will have five people.
Are you with me? 100 divided by 20= 5. I will then choose one winner from each of the 20 groups. In the scenario I've given, your odds of winning will change from one in 100 to one in five. Or something like that. I'm not a statistician. Just try to trust me, I'm looking out for you here. There will also be one grand prize given away, a winner randomly chosen from among everyone. The grand prize is a $150 gift certificate to be used on anything you like in our store.
TIME IS UP! WINNER'S WILL BE ANNOUNCED AROUND 12:00 EST TODAY (WEDNESDAY). BE SURE AND CHECK BACK, and thank you, everyone. :)GOOD LUCK, AND MAY THE (KNITTING) FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Oh it is so hard to just pick one! But I think I'd go for Alana, and I'd make a pretty wrap or shrug to go over a spring dress on a cool night.
I am absolutely in LOVE with Kate. Red and green are my favorite colors, so it's talking to me LOUD AND CLEAR. As for what I would make with it... I would love to see how TIG's very own Popsicle sock pattern would look with it.
Wow, that Connor is so gorgeous. I'd love to make a scarf with it so I wear it everyday and see it at all times! Really stunning.
I want, no I need Jacl :D
Although they're all beautiful, I love Devin. I think it needs to be a cheerful spring cardigan.
I would pick the beautiful shades in Maeve. I would make a lovely sweater set and leg warmers for my new grandaughter because in a perfect or any other world she is perfect.
Oh gosh, that is hard to choose, but if I had to choose one I would have to say um.......Kate, yes definitely Kate!!!
I would like Grady. I'd use it for a pair of socks.
I heart all the colorways.
how do i choose just one?! i was seduced at Conner but kept going and my first love is Madigan. i would take her home and put her on a shelf to gaze at until she told me what she wanted to be made into...
If I had to choose just one, I would choose Clare. You can never, ever go wrong with pink!! I am so impressed with the beautiful photos of the new colorways; I was on the site earlier today, and thought everything looks so beautiful!!
Kate or Maeve, definitely! So gorgeous!
I love grady and I would make some long fingerless gloves.
JACK, hands down. They are all lovely, but Jack is just sooooo great. I would make a drop stitch scarf, I think that pattern would show off those colors perfectly.
I would chose Alana because of the earthy pinks. I have had this idea of making butterfly/fairy wings with yarn for my daughter for a while (crochet) and this color would give it the perfect woodsy look I want. I don't want to give too much away about how I am going to do it because once I figure it out I will be selling the pattern. :)
Maura is #1 for me, but i'm also drooling over all three of the solid blues. Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!! Great work!
Maura and it would be used for a scarf for me :)
Alana would become a sweater for me :)
This is a tough question. Gonna have to go with February Lady Sweater in Devin or Erin. I can't decide between the two :)
There are all beautiful!!!!
Brady rules. Socks!
It would have to be Maura, I can imagine a gorgeous shrug made for me from it. Very lush!
I want a shawl made from cameron! Although they are all so beautiful!
Alana - I would make an October Nursing Shawl for my friend that just brought her baby home from 6 weeks in the NICU. Baby girls middle name is Alana and I think they could both use some comfort of a lovely wrap!
My son is in love with Erin and has requested that I knit him a scarf for next year!
Very hard to choose, but I must choose the Erin colorway. Its my name and I love greens.
I would make some wrist warmers and hat set. or some cute little leg warmers.
Ian, no question about it. I'd love to make matching sweaters for my 2 boys. Though I'd need a machine that stopped time, so I could have time to knit!
