After much deliberation we decided to go with an Inuit name...anana Qiviut
Afterall our wonderful qiviut fibre comes from the Far North & it was about time we paid tribute to the Wonderful Inuit community.
The winner of the skein of anana qiviut yarn is Brandon who entered so many names it was a real challenge to pick just one. Anana meaning 'Beautiful'.
Thank you to all who entered there were so many lovely names that would have complemented this yarn very well. So many great entries it has taken us 3 days to decide !

ReplyDeleteHi there, please contact me with your details at cottagecraftangora(at)hotmail.com
DeleteI would knit the wispiest lace jabot in the red color!
ReplyDeleteI would knit a lace scarf in Raspberry :)
ReplyDeleteOh my; I like all four colors! I've never knit with lace weight before, but would use it to knit one of Romi's small shawls.
ReplyDeleteI would knit a wispy smoke ring in purple:)
ReplyDeleteI would knit a scarf in the Riverine pattern on Ravelry in the raspberry.
ReplyDeletei would knit a smoke ring, The color I would like best is the arctic blue. The arctic red comes in second.
ReplyDeleteI would knit a scarf in Arctic Blue.
ReplyDeleteI'd knit a very light scarf. I have this pattern that results in a scarf very much like a spider's web, it's very light and needs little yarn. I'm torn between blue and purple colors, but I'd choose purple, it looks really gorgeous.

I'd knit a shawl or scarf (I've got several in my queue and I can't decide which one right now) in purple

DeleteI'd like to knit a scarf, scarf and hat set or cowl with the Arctic Blue or Arctic Red. I'd love to do a shawl or wrap but all the ones I saw were waaaay beyond what I can do.(knit & purl) I went through a ton of patterns via Google and Ravelry and could not find a written pattern for a novice uber beginner knitter. If I win I hope you have some suggestions! Thank you for the chance! :D ~ Mippy/Sabrina- MippyFooalina on RAV
ReplyDeleteMippy, if you won you could try the boneyard shawl by Stephen west. Its a free pattern on Ravelry.That would make a lovely beginner shawl pattern & could easily be knit with this size yarn on a 4.5mm needle. All it consisits of is plain, purl & yo's....so easy !
Deletebest of Luck to you, regards Lorraine
All 4 colors are just lovely, it's so hard to choose, although I really like the Arctic Blue. I think I would knit the Snow Angel shawl by Boo Knits on Ravelry. I would pair it with either clear or pale blue seed beads to look like ice crystals.
ReplyDeleteI'd knit a lace weight colour work mitts and hat. Using blue, and a neutral.
ReplyDeleteI've been knitting smoke rings lately for friends and I'm on a roll. Time to knit one for me. The raspberry would go with my coat, but the Artic Blue is calling me.
ReplyDeleteI would use the purple one to make the Moon Flowers shawl by Larisa Valeeva. I've been eyeing the pattern for a while and now there's an English translation.
ReplyDeleteI have been inspired by all your boneyard shawls so I MUST have one in Raspberry!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to knit a cowl in Arctic blue.
ReplyDeleteSomething lacy - fingerless mitts or a little shoulder cape, perhaps - in Arctic Red, of course!
ReplyDeletethere is a hooded lace scarf from the redheart website that would look absolutely gorgeous in the purple!
ReplyDeleteI would knit a little Shetland lace shawl in the Arctic Red I think :) Perfect colours for the festive season!
ReplyDeleteI would probably double strand this and make a very warm mitten for someone I know who has a hand with only 2 reattached fingers so it is very cold sensitive.
ReplyDeleteThe Arctic Blue draws me in. Wrist-warmers and a shawlette would keep neck and hands comfy and happy through the coldest months. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the raspberry, and would make it into a little lacy shawl.
ReplyDeleteI would love the raspberry (or maybe the purple? they're all so lovely) and I'll make a cowl.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours, but the arctic blue is my favourite. I would use it to make a lace shawl. (iquana on Ravelry)
ReplyDeleteI would definitely make a shawl out of arctic blue
ReplyDeleteThat lovely Arctic Red would become a breathtaking beaded lace shawl!
ReplyDeleteI think the Percy shawl would be amazing in that gorgeous purple :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a lacy cowl out of the Arctic Red. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteraspberry. i would make a cowl.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said, all the colours are scrumptious. I already have a lace scarf in quiviut so think I would do a hat and gloves (or mitts). I am really attracted to the Arctic Blue.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use the Arctic Blue to make a 'Skeleton Nachaq Hood' by Donna Druchunas from her book 'Arctic Lace'! just enough yardage to make it a bit longer to keep my neck extra warm!

The horai scarf/shawl (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/horai-scarf) would look lovely in that arctic red! Thanks for sharing.
