Thanks for your blog. I look forward to reading it.

I've been fondling Suede everytime I see it in a LYS... I'd love to make something out of it!

Posted by: diane at November 29, 2004 9:19 AM

Been wanting to "feel up" some of that Suede...no LYS in my area carries it though!

Posted by: Natalie at November 29, 2004 9:28 AM

I'm in on this one, too! I love that suede!

Posted by: sarah b. at November 29, 2004 9:37 AM

Posted by: Shirley at November 29, 2004 9:40 AM

I have wanted to touch this, but don't have a yarn store (one is coming across the street from where I live!). Count me in!

Posted by: Anne at November 29, 2004 9:41 AM

Me too, no suede around here... looks buttery soft!

Posted by: Liz at November 29, 2004 9:45 AM

Posted by: lisa b at November 29, 2004 10:08 AM

Ooohh I'd love the Suede - I can't get hold of it here in the UK unless I pay for it to be shipped in & take a chance on the tax lottery!

Posted by: Steph T. at November 29, 2004 10:14 AM

Sueet! Suede! What a perfect combo.

Posted by: Veronique at November 29, 2004 10:19 AM

I love your blog and I'm glad to let you know so. I have used the Berroco Suede yarn and love it! I'm eager to use it again. I can just picture my little boys in matching booties or 'blue suede shoes'.

Good luck to all those entering.

Posted by: Corrie at November 29, 2004 10:40 AM

Posted by: wooliemama at November 29, 2004 10:41 AM

Posted by: lisa at November 29, 2004 11:21 AM

I bought two skeins of this last summer at an out of town LYS and paired it with Crystal Palace Squiggles and knit a scarf for my 16 yo daughter which she wears quite a bit. Would love to have some more and this is such a lovely blue!

Posted by: Karin at November 29, 2004 11:23 AM

I'll come out of lurkdom for a chance to win this yarn. I've been using it for fringed belts (loved by all my daughter's tween-age friends).

Posted by: Susan at November 29, 2004 11:24 AM

In the words of John Waters, ultrasuede is a miracle. This yarn may nat reach those levels but it's certainly fun.

Posted by: Jenna at November 29, 2004 11:25 AM

I need to start making some gifts for all the babies on the way, and these booties are on my to-do list!

I've seen the pattern for the baby boots, but wasn't sure if any LYS carried the suede - this would be a great suprise!

Ooh! I've been wanting to try some of that suede! Now does my 4 month old nephew need ugg boots more than I need that sueet bag? Maybe I'll flip a coin.

Ohhhhh... suede!

Posted by: Leisel at December 1, 2004 3:13 AM

I've been trying to be a good girl and only put my name down for one of the yarns. But now I've given up... and since I just finished the Big Blue Banff I need some more blue yarn, right? I saw a pattern for a chroched girls hat in a similar yarn, so if I'm lucky this could turn out as a new summer hat for Lilja... and she even looks good in blue...
