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!

Your Lookbook is fabulous and the photography just makes everything look terrific! While all of the colors are fabulous, my first choice would be Cameron. It would make a lovely cowl or maybe a clapotis
Thanks for this contest! Your yarn is simply lovely!
I think I would pick Jack or Alana because they are a very different pallette than I usually pick for my projects. They would be used for a pair of finger-less gloves which I wear everyday to work in my garden. And if there is any left over, probably a pair of peds for my garden clogs!
*****I love every one of your new colors*****
I love most of the colours, so it's really hard to choose, but if I had to pick just one it would be Devin and I'd use it for a pair of Interlocking Leaves socks.
I would choose Kate! Just beautiful, bright, and has a real energy about it. I would love to make a vest or baby sweater from that colorway.
What absolutely gorgeous photographs! All of the colors are lovely, and I had a hard time narrowing it down. There are 3 pages that just stood out to me-
Kieran- for a lacy shawl
Cian- for an extremely cheerful pair of cabled socks
and the trio of Maguire, Fionn and Cara (you can't break them up- they look so perfect together) for a cuddly gradual color changing sweater
If I absolutely had to pick just one, I guess I would say Kieran.
Love Jack! Love how bold it is. I would knit for myself cause I never do. As for what I would knit . . . perhaps a nice cabled headband or hat.
I really really love Kieran and Erin. With Kieran I would make a cowl, Erin is a color I would use for socks- tall ones with lots of lacework. And Reinforced heels.
god, i want them! there's some really really great colorways!
I love them all!! I'm not very picky when it comes to 3IG colorways.
I have this project in mind:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stay-put-wrap
and I think either Erin or Devin would be best suited.
But maybe Kieran.
I'm looking for your opinion on the matter.
Kieran is the one for me!! He could jump into my queue and be made up into some goreous socks that would be totally unlike anything that I have now! These socks would be ready to roll for fall, and pumpkins, and turkey....
I would love to do something in Devin. Preferably a shawl.
Devin would look great on me in a cute half vest for summer!
Niall...I would make a lovely, lovely scarf or shawl! The lookbook is beautiful!
It is tooo hard to choose, but I think Ian. I am not sure what I would make--just looking at these colors make me happy
Oh to choose only one...I think Niall would make a lovely sweater.
My absolute fave is Madigan!
It would make perfect fall longies for my DD :o)
It's hard to choose! I'd love Kieran for a scarf or wrap, or maybe Devin for a light spring cardigan. Cian is tempting too -- I'm just not yet sure how I'd use it!
Maeve is my favorite! I think I would make a scarf or cowl -- something I could wear all winter.
I'm loving them all but I think I love Grady the most. It would make an absolutely beautiful shawl!
Jack would make a great pair of socks. :)
Maura...it is destined to keep me warm, and cheerful. I adore the warm colors paired with peeps of spring! A shawl, a sweater, a vest...or even socks. I can feel the warmth already!
I like so many of the yarns.
I LOVE Madigan and Maeve and would make a skirt or tank top.
I also really like Niall and Erin and would make socks with them.
I would love to knit a lovely dashing red scarf with Claire! This would give me the oolala that would make all the boys whistle!
If I HAVE to pick...it wouldbe Maura.
I would make my daughter a sweater!
I love Maura and think it would make a breathtaking shawl or lap blanket.
I loved all of the threads. At first I thought Maeve was my favorite and then I spied Jan and then Devin--I've decided they are all gorgeous. I envision some socks or a lovely cowl or maybe a light shawl. I would be honored to have any of your threads. The photography is also amazing.
