Of course the contest is open to males; we love knitters of every kind! You can be a cover man.
If I had 15 skeins of Eclair yarn, I will make as many shawls as possible for our Prayer Shawl Ministry.
I’d make a cardigan for evenings or a shawl
Dear Bergere de France,
Two hours later I look up and read the directions only to read “blue” Eclair. My dilema is that my eagerness, dreaming of creating beautiful clothing knit with luscious yarn, repressed the memory that the directions indicated using only “blue”. So many colors and types of yarn…..who could use just ONE? Do I share my creations and have them rejected because I did not use blue–Yes! Three creations, the purchase of additional types of Bergere de France yarns and my dreams are reality. Use Eclair in color Cephee to make a crew-necked, long-sleeved fitted sweater. Mix Teddy in Mastic with the Eclair for the body and sleeves. The three rows between the beginning of the cuffs and the hem would be made by dropping the Teddy and using Satin Sirene. Then proceed to finish the cuffs and hem in 2×2 ribbing using only the original Eclair in Cephee. Number two would begin with pattern 703 made with Noir Eclair. It is difficult to see, but I believe that all of the ‘unattached’ edges roll. The ‘rolled’ edges; neckline, armholes, hem would have one inch of Libellule Lurex combined to the finished edge. Finally, my favorite pattern 715 using Noir Eclair as the main ingredient. The cowl mixing Libellule Lurex into the Eclair when making the ‘bottom’ portion of each ridge. This would make a very subtle striped design. The skirt/poncho would also use Eclair in Noir for the entire item. Two or three rows on either side of the “top” of the narrow ridge in the design would have Libellule Lurex combined, which would provide a link with the cowl. The final touch would use Libellule Lurex and Ecliar for the entire three or four inch stitch used for the hem. OK, so nothing is “blue”, but I can’t wait to wear the black, twilighted Eclair with the Lurex adding some ‘snap’. Thanks, this was so much fun I could have designed a book;-).
Sincerely,
Maureen Martinek
I am a crocheter who knits a little so not sure I could do a sweater just yet but I sure would give it a try or at least knitt some scarves to better my knitting skills!
I would knit another sweater for sure and maybe some things to give away at Christmas.
I would have to look thru the lovely book to see what to make~! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would definitely start on my winter gifts for family and friends.
I would love to make some gorgeous cowls for the women in my family for Christmas. Warm and fabulously soft Éclair yarn would make such a luxurious cowl! Let’s see….who’s been naughty and who’s been nice!
This is beautiful yarn, and with that much think of all the projects you can work on. Thank you for such a great give away.
Shawls, Shawls, and more shawls is what I create.
Gifts! Gifts! I like to knit or crochet gifts!
Hmmm. What would I make? I would make a scarf and possibly a shawl.
I am thinking of joining our church Prayer Shawl Ministry, as they do a wonderful service and would teach me to knit (I have ALWAYS wanted to learn). Should I be so fortunate as to win this prize, I would donate the yarn to the ministry so that we could all use it to knit more prayer shawls for the sick and homebound.
I would knit myself my first sweater.
Would love to make myself a lap afghan for this winter for my chair in this color
I would find the most beautiful sweater ever to knit.
I love to knit, crochet is my second favorite. I’ve been looking for the right pattern to come along, and I have found. It’s a teen pull over hoodie for my granddaughter. She’s been waiting for the cooler weather. She has the most prettiest blue/teal eyes, and these are also her favorite colors as well.
I’d make scarves or shawls as cold weather is coming, even to southern CA!
I so appreciate the chance to win this lovely yarn! Thank you for having this contest. i would like to make a large shawl using this beautiful blue yarn! My email is teribeariblue! Blue is my favorite color. Since it is so cold in the rooms where we get chemo, and dialysis, a large shawl will not only give me something to work on for a bit, but when the project is done it will keep me warm!
This would be wonderful in a card.
I would love to knit a sweater from this yarn for my daughter-in-law. Her hair is red and eyes are green and she would look so beautiful in this blue color. Hope I win. This is a lovely yarn and it looks like it would be fun to use. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a fabulous prize.
Definitely a swag sweater – I love the drape.
I would love to make a gorgeous poncho to wear this Christmas. 🙂
Ahhh, blue, my favorite color, so finally I would make something for myself out of all that lovely soft yarn. I think it would have to be a long sleeve deep V pullover that I can wear a variety of casual to dressy tops under. If I have enough yarn I will add a hood. I have dreamed of this sweater for years, but always end up making something for everyone else. thank you for a wonderful contest.
wow !
I would love to make sweater for my friend’s baby, blanket for my granny and many other gifts for everyone. Would like to donate to some charity too. It always feel good when you give someone something made by your own 🙂
Oooops! I think this giveaway is for Us residents only 🙁
And I’m from India.
I’m not familiar with this yarn so I would have to wait to see it and feel it before deciding what it would be used for. It does look beautiful in the photo!
It’s beautiful yarn in my favorite blue color. I would love to knit a large shawl
With 15 skeins of this beautiful yarn I would finally make something for myself! Just had bariatric surgery in August and haven’t bought any new clothes yet, or knitted anything for
myself (lots of grand and great-grandbabies to knit for!). It would be a wonderful cozy afghan or sweater! 😉
I have been making all my left-overs into circles and would use this to make them all into a blanket… That will be a wedding gift. The thing about this blanket is that it is just like a marriage… We each bring lots of little things to the relationship. Then we combine our lives to make something new and beautiful. I have been making these blankets for years and have just about enough to start another one. Blue is a perfect combining color, and the softness will make it a great gift.
A infinity scarf for my mother and one for me too.. first I will need to learn how to knit…this would be perfect for that. 🙂
I would make several large baby blankets for the triplets grandsons due in the spring.
Honestly I found this giveaway looking for yarn online. If I had this yarn it would to towards a blanket I’m about to start for a dear friend. See my husband and I lost our home after he was hurt at work and this wonderful couple have offered to sell us their rental home in lower payments we can afford. They are a true blessing to our lives and I want to give them a token so they know how much they mean to me.
I would make an afghan.
