Congrats to Cindy, the winner of yesterday's Flash Contest who commented on her Spectre choice, "Antique Map is beautiful." Cindy won a special skein of Yarn Hollow in a bamboo blend.
Let's have another contest! This quickie Flash Contest will close today, June 12, at 5pm EST. Leave one comment below telling me your fave color of Lorna's Laces Solemate, and I'll randomly choose one winner. Solemate very popular right now for summer socks because it's the yarn with Outlast fiber- the one created for NASA for temp and moisture control. And the colors are lovely.
Here's the color I love right now, Kedzie. It catches my eye every time I walk past.
LL SM Multi Cornelia .... this is the one catching MY eye! [email protected]

Right now, I am in love with Zombie BBQ. The colors, the name, all of it.
Posted by: Julie | June 12, 2012 at 09:17 AM
I love them all but if I was pushed, I love Liberty, right now. Ask me in a couple of minutes and I'll probably give you a different answer!
BTW, good luck with the new baby!! :)

Edgewater always catches my eye - I think it's that pop of aqua!
Posted by: Susan | June 12, 2012 at 09:18 AM
Country Christmas. Makes beautiful Christmas socks!
Posted by: Kim Deiro | June 12, 2012 at 09:20 AM
It gives me the cozy feeling of a country hearth at Christmas time--I want Country Christmas for sure!
Posted by: Anne Bond | June 12, 2012 at 09:22 AM
I love Maleficents! So many beautiful colors in this wonderful skein of yarn!!
Posted by: Mary | June 12, 2012 at 09:22 AM
Multi Magnificient Mile. I just love that tone of yellow and I don't see that tone too often except in a huge box of colored pencils.
Posted by: Mun Yee | June 12, 2012 at 09:23 AM
I really like Bean, it looks like it'd make really pretty, subtle socks.
Posted by: Shari | June 12, 2012 at 09:23 AM
I'm also crazy about the zombie bbq. My sister is a big fan of Walking Dead and think she would love something out of this :)
Posted by: Autumn Pilditch | June 12, 2012 at 09:25 AM
I've never tried solemate but I'm loving maleificent's spindel.
Posted by: Brittani t. | June 12, 2012 at 09:26 AM

Giddings. I love it
Posted by: Carol Brown | June 12, 2012 at 09:29 AM
My favorite color is turtle rodeo. How can you not love the name this time of year. Reminds me of ponds and flowers.
Posted by: Mary Cast | June 12, 2012 at 09:31 AM
Oooh, its a hard choice between Childs play and Hawaii, but I think chills play wins because it just looks like summer!
Megan
Posted by: Megan Best | June 12, 2012 at 09:32 AM
My favorite is Multi Baltic Sea.
Posted by: NancyN | June 12, 2012 at 09:32 AM
I love the Kerfluffle.........It makes me smile to just say the name!!
Posted by: Rheba Rozeboom | June 12, 2012 at 09:32 AM
This colorway makes me think of my favorite place - the ocean...
Posted by: Andrea Hall | June 12, 2012 at 09:32 AM
Multi Campbell just jumped off the screen at me!
Posted by: kate s | June 12, 2012 at 09:32 AM
Zombie BarBQ is my fav no matter what the yarn weight- Love it
Posted by: Jan | June 12, 2012 at 09:39 AM
Hard to decide but Giddings looks really good.
Posted by: Judith | June 12, 2012 at 09:39 AM
Well, I love all the colorways and have knitted with alot of them already, but I think this time of year that Liberty would be my choice of the day.
Posted by: Debby | June 12, 2012 at 09:39 AM
Gorgeous colors! It's hard to pick. I think I'd go with Multi Ashburn since it has greens, blues, and purples, my three favorite colors. Turtle Rodeo is running a close second though.
Posted by: Andy Berisford | June 12, 2012 at 09:42 AM
Zombie BBQ, the colors are great, but I love the name!
Posted by: Elaine | June 12, 2012 at 09:42 AM
Maleficents Spindel is calling my name!
Posted by: Kay | June 12, 2012 at 09:42 AM
I like the Ashburn
Posted by: Kathie | June 12, 2012 at 09:44 AM
I agree with you. Kedzie caught my eye to the tune of "I want one skein".
Posted by: Judi Kennedy | June 12, 2012 at 09:48 AM
Mine is the Multi Gold Hill. It reminds me of colors in the Vermillion Cliffs in Utah!
Posted by: Cindy | June 12, 2012 at 09:49 AM
What a beautiful color -L SM Solid Fjord. I am into blues and this is this most perfect skein of blues I have ever seen. Would love to make toasties for my piggies! Absolutely lone it!
Posted by: Andrea W | June 12, 2012 at 09:49 AM
Not an easy choice - but I'll go for Skyway!
Posted by: Barbara | June 12, 2012 at 09:51 AM
Multi Watercolor would be fine for summer knittig. Mary [email protected]
Posted by: mary | June 12, 2012 at 09:56 AM
I like Multi-Watercolor. The various shades blend so well.
Posted by: Lucy Portland | June 12, 2012 at 09:59 AM
I think I would vote for Jeans... today :)
Posted by: Renee' | June 12, 2012 at 10:00 AM
I like the Multi-Jeans!
Posted by: Mary | June 12, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Edge water has always been a favorite of mine!
Posted by: Kathy Strand | June 12, 2012 at 10:00 AM
The bean...I have just the shoes for it!
Posted by: Liz Awsumb | June 12, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Kedzie catches my eye also, also liking The Skyway. They are all so pretty, it is hard to choose!
Posted by: Debra | June 12, 2012 at 10:02 AM
My favorite is the Hawaii, with Irving Park coming in a close second.
Posted by: Gabriele G | June 12, 2012 at 10:04 AM
I'm not sure what fascinates me more the name or the actual colorway; but I have to say my face would be Zombie BBQ!
Posted by: Pat | June 12, 2012 at 10:05 AM
Kedzie....and you know...as you have seen my purchases....I LOVE them ALL!!! This outlast is amazing!
Posted by: April | June 12, 2012 at 10:08 AM
Solemate in Jarod Flood's Grand Street Ink would make a great pair of socks.
Posted by: Linda | June 12, 2012 at 10:09 AM
My favorite color is Blackberry. I discovered how much I like blackberry jam on my biscuits, yum!
Posted by: SusanB-knits | June 12, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Cornelia is definitely eye-catching; neutrals with a splash of red and gold.
Posted by: Ramona Edwards | June 12, 2012 at 10:12 AM
I love Solemate in Watercolor. It would make a beautiful shawl!
Posted by: Mary Anne Schierman | June 12, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Gorgeous colors!! Child's play, multi gold, multi jeans, rainbow, skyway, watercolor are just a few of my favorites.
Posted by: Donna | June 12, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Oddly, I don't have a pair of socks in camouflage yet. Solid cookie secret looks nice too--and who can resist that name?
Posted by: Lisa | June 12, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Zombie Barbeque followed by Watercolor. One is for the dignified elegant side of me, and the other for the wild, crazy, what a great name side of me!
Posted by: Anne Cloward | June 12, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Mine right now has to be Shenanigans. The colors just jump out at me.
Posted by: Stacey | June 12, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Turtle Rodeo is a color I've been drooling over for a long time.
Posted by: Natalie G. | June 12, 2012 at 10:19 AM
It has to be Nearly Solid Cedar.
Posted by: Cathy B | June 12, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Baltic Sea is very pretty.
Posted by: CathyA | June 12, 2012 at 10:22 AM
Well, I already own Zombie BBQ, so now I am leaning towards Magnificent Mile. I've got a thing for lovely yellows...
Posted by: Natalie | June 12, 2012 at 10:23 AM
Baltic Sea is so gorgeous!
Posted by: Andrea | June 12, 2012 at 10:27 AM
I love the blues so it would be Cookie's secret. Thank you and a big happy anniversary too!
Posted by: sharon | June 12, 2012 at 10:31 AM
Multi Liberty is my first choice! I love wearing red/white/blue - for the USA and for Texas.
Posted by: Leslie | June 12, 2012 at 10:31 AM
Totally Love Zombie BBQ. The colors are great and I absolutely love freaking out my friends and family when they ask me what color socks I'm working on ;)
Posted by: Terri M | June 12, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Campbell!! I'm a green girl!
Posted by: Deb D | June 12, 2012 at 10:34 AM
Definitely Campbell, I'm a sucker for anything green!
Posted by: Adrienne | June 12, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Multi Baltic Sea! My favorite has to have aqua or green, this one has both. Love it!
Posted by: Linda | June 12, 2012 at 10:37 AM
I love all Lorna's Laces but I think Cornelia is my current favorite!
Posted by: Evie | June 12, 2012 at 10:37 AM
LL SM Multi Ashburn would be my pick!
Posted by: Larry | June 12, 2012 at 10:38 AM
I've loved Vintage Office ever since they introduced it - would love to have a Sole Mate version.
Posted by: newjerseylaura | June 12, 2012 at 10:38 AM
Cookie Secret is my favorite of the bunch. Thanks much.
Posted by: Savannagal | June 12, 2012 at 10:39 AM
Grant Park is one of my favorites--It's a great place too!
Posted by: Kaidy | June 12, 2012 at 10:39 AM
My fave has got to be Zombie BBQ, I have a skein waiting to be made into socks for my daughter, who is a big fan of "walking dead". And any other zombie shows. But I also like Multi. Decisions,decisions.
Posted by: Liisa | June 12, 2012 at 10:39 AM
Camoflage, colors are so more subtle in solemate..... also Child's Play and Kedsie!
Posted by: Karen | June 12, 2012 at 10:41 AM
What choices! I think mine would be Turtle Rodeo. Hard to choose just one!
Posted by: Vicki F | June 12, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Loving the Gold Hill!!
Posted by: Heather | June 12, 2012 at 10:46 AM
My favorite changes each time I look. This time it is Edgewater!
Posted by: Betty | June 12, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Zombie BBQ, how can you not love this name and color combo!!
Posted by: Deborah | June 12, 2012 at 10:50 AM
gotta love the multi the L- very cute.
Posted by: Wendy | June 12, 2012 at 10:51 AM
I love Gold Hill, but all are beautiful.
Posted by: Mary Brown | June 12, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Lorna Laces makes such beautiful yarn, it is hard to choose just one. I like Multi Asian for it's subtle elegance.
Posted by: Renee Artim | June 12, 2012 at 10:51 AM
So many beautiful options! But some favorites are: Grant Park, Kedzie, Maleficents Spindel
and Blackberry!

Child's Play caught my eye!!! Thanks for the contests!
Posted by: Jan | June 12, 2012 at 10:57 AM

Oh, Baltic Sea definitely. But I can't not love Zombie BBQ too! The name just makes me smile!
Posted by: Janene Reeves | June 12, 2012 at 11:09 AM
I am smitten by most every colorway. They are simply all combinations that speak to me. But i keep looking at Grand Street Ink and all the variety in this tonal. It is fascinating!
Posted by: Christy Becker | June 12, 2012 at 11:10 AM
I love so many of them, but right now I would have to choose "rainbow."
Posted by: Kate | June 12, 2012 at 11:11 AM
I like Campbell! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Posted by: Megan | June 12, 2012 at 11:12 AM
Amy's Vintage Office has caught my eye. It's lovely!
Posted by: Patty McD | June 12, 2012 at 11:13 AM
How to choose Solemate? Lorna's laces color choices are prolific! I knit a hat out of zombie BBQ in regular sock and it's awesome!
Posted by: Allise | June 12, 2012 at 11:14 AM
The bright greens of Campbell always catch my eye, love it!
Posted by: Rachael | June 12, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Multi Gold Hill looks wonderful to me, but my favorite socks are made with Solemate light purple, forgot the exact name.
Posted by: Merna | June 12, 2012 at 11:20 AM
I like the L in purple
Posted by: dana | June 12, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Maleficents Spindel caught my eye - beautimous colors!
Posted by: Denise H. | June 12, 2012 at 11:24 AM
All of the colors are so fabulous, but my eyes always stops at Gold Hill. The best name: Zombie BBQ.
Posted by: Debsf | June 12, 2012 at 11:24 AM
So MANY Wonderful & interesting color Combos!!! I really like the variety in LL SM Multi Gold Hill the bast though!
Posted by: Knit Yeah! | June 12, 2012 at 11:25 AM
For me, it has to be rainbow. How many times have we looked at a rainbow in wonder. Just makes me happy to think about knitting with it.
Posted by: Susan Hill | June 12, 2012 at 11:25 AM
Multi-Hawaii is lovely but I wouldn't say, "no" to Kedzie either :)
Posted by: Renee Anne | June 12, 2012 at 11:25 AM
My current favorite is Magnificent Mile. I love the yellow and all the pleasant thoughts the color brings.
Posted by: RuthAnn Cromwell | June 12, 2012 at 11:25 AM
Zombie BBQ is always my favorite LL color no matter what base.
Posted by: Martha | June 12, 2012 at 11:27 AM
I'm at the coast (Newport, Oregon) and Baltic Sea is so close to the colors of the Pacific Ocean right now, I can't help but fall in love with it!
