Love notes when there's fresh yarn

Month of Love – Week 2

Welcome back to the Month of Love!

Each weekday I’ll be posting 1 yarn inspired by a famous pairing, from now until February 14th and each Wednesday I’ll be giving a little roundup of the last week’s love-y yarn.
But I need some help! Suggest a couple you can win 50% off your next skein of BCB yarn, by commenting right here!

This week I have some yarn inspired by you, darling readers, and a few winners to announce!

Most of the yarns this week sold as soon as I listed them, but we’ll start with the two that are still available.
The first is Ketchup + Mustard, inspired by my condiment-loving husband.

Ketchup & Mustard

JFK & Jacki-O was suggested by Sailor Jenny

JFK + Jackie O
(available here)

Navy Blue Suits + Petal Pink Chanel = yummy handspun yarn

My very favorite yarn from this week was Brenda & Dylan, suggested byAmber.

Brenda & Dylan
(already sold)

It has 90′s neon blue and pink and was inspired by surfer Dylan + Minnesota-girl Brenda.

Another clever suggestion, from Regenia, was Superman + Lois Lane

superman + lois lane
(already sold)

I particularly like the contrast between the brightness of the red, blue and yellow of Superman + the black and white (of newsprint and pencil skirts) for Lois

Cinderella + Prince Charming

cinderella
(already sold)

That classic sky blue dress + his navy suit (or was it a uniform?)

If you are one of the inspiring people I mentioned above, you have won 50% off one skein from the Boutique! To redeem it, just buy what you like and put “Month of Love” in the message to seller. I’ll send you a revised invoice (or if you want to pay right away, I’ll refund your discount.)

Keep those suggestions coming!

I’ve almost run through the list of suggestions that inspired me and I need at least 5 more!

Specifically, I want to spin another Battlestar Gallactica-inspired yarn. What couple from the show do you think I should immortalize in yarn? What color would that be? Leave your suggestion in the comments below!

    Ahhh shucks, I am so sad I missed buying the Brenda & Dylan yarn I suggested. It looks totally awesome! I've been glued to watching old episodes on hulu!
