    Oh 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.

    I'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

    I'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

      Mippy, 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 !
      best 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.

    I'd knit a lace weight colour work mitts and hat. Using blue, and a neutral.

    I'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.

    I 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.

    I have been inspired by all your boneyard shawls so I MUST have one in Raspberry!

    Something lacy - fingerless mitts or a little shoulder cape, perhaps - in Arctic Red, of course!

    there is a hooded lace scarf from the redheart website that would look absolutely gorgeous in the purple!

    I would knit a little Shetland lace shawl in the Arctic Red I think :) Perfect colours for the festive season!

    I 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.

    The Arctic Blue draws me in. Wrist-warmers and a shawlette would keep neck and hands comfy and happy through the coldest months. :)

    I love the raspberry, and would make it into a little lacy shawl.

    I would love the raspberry (or maybe the purple? they're all so lovely) and I'll make a cowl.

    I love all the colours, but the arctic blue is my favourite. I would use it to make a lace shawl. (iquana on Ravelry)

    That lovely Arctic Red would become a breathtaking beaded lace shawl!

    As 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.

    I 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.
