Yes, I'll be giving something away at the end of this post, but first... a little bit of TFA Club news to share.
The 2012 TFA Year In Colour Club is wrapping up. Memberships for this year will remain open until the end of October, at which point the 2012 memberships will close and the 2013 Club memberships will become available.
For 2013 I will be doing something a little bit different, rather than focussing exclusively on fingering weight yarns I'll be diversifying the Club to include 6 different TFA bases ranging from my Blue Label Fingering Weight yarn to my Orange Label Cashmere/Silk Worsted weight yarn. The other major difference next year is that all patterns will be designed by TFA! Julie and I are sharing the workload and together are designing 6 unique single skein accessory patterns. The price of the Club will be adjusted to reflect the variety of yarn bases, however same as last year, there will be a price incentive for people to sign up early! Full details will be released next week when the 2013 Club goes live.
And now... it's giveaway time! All summer long we had a Stella Collection blog tour running with each stop doing a giveaway, well, it's finally my turn! Leave a comment on this blog post for your chance to win the Stella Collection plus 2 skeins of Blue Label Fingering weight yarn in your choice of any of these colour pairings to knit your very own Adhara Shawl. Any of the shawls featured in this collection would make for the perfect November KAL project!
Left column, top to bottom: Deep Sea and Peacock; Frost and Seabreeze; Lilac and Dove.
Center column, top to bottom: Sand and Gold; Shadow and Atlantic (the original pairing); Pink Grapefruit and Sunset; Stormy and Shadow.
Right column, top to bottom; Spearmint and Lemongrass; Garnet and Velvet; Brick and Chestnut.
A winner will be announced on Saturday, stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteWoohoo, sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love that shawl! And it would be an awesome chance to get to be in the November KAL!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I'd manage to choose if I actually won. The colours are all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNot only info about the NEW 2013 Year in Colour Club but ALSO a yarn giveaway!! It's all too much! LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh my, are those some beautiful color combos. Hopefully I'll have the terrible problem of making an excruciating decision between them :) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway - thanks Tanis for all that you do!!!
ReplyDeleteAdhara is so beautiful! Crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteWould love a chance to knit your beautiful shawl pattern with your gorgeous yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE TFA yarns! And blues are my downfall. I have been admiring Adhara since the first posting. If I won, boy that would be a hard choice. I think the red label is scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color combinations!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister in the UK would love any of these color combos,I just not sure I would be able to give away after finishing it.
ReplyDeleteI used speramint and lemon grass as part of Color addiction not affection shawl (because that is what it has be come) and the comments I get about the combonation is unbeliveable.
Oh be still my beating heart! fingers crossed too. Only slight problem, I am based in the UK - do you send overseas? If not, I will understand *sob*!!! thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous combos. I'm going to have to bookmark this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I love the pairings.
ReplyDeleteI love your color combinations, Tanis! You have a great eye for color. Picking one will be hard!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how one would go about picking just one of those color combinations. They're all so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOooh yes please! Those are all so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love the pink grapefruit/sunset pairing althought they're all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe pairings are all superb! I'm especially on love with Brick and Chestnut for fall though!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying all summer long to win this collection....so we make a perfect pair. speaking of perfect pair..... I love the pairing of shadow and atlantic....with the grapefruit/sunset being a very very close second!!!! Either would please me!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win, I have all limps and digits crossed!!!!
I have loved seeing these patterns on some of the blogs I read. What a lovely collection!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! If I win it'll be hard to choose...too many lovely combinations!
ReplyDeleteSpearmint and lemongrass is my favorite. I wonder how they would taste together? LOL
ReplyDeleteReally nice pairings! i'll take my chances! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe world here is already swathed in white, with more coming down. The colours in your blogpost this morning seem especially vibrant this morning...
ReplyDeleteYeah for the new Club announcement! I'm so excited by the different yarns, I can't wait to register (this year club was my 2011 Christmas present to myself and I think it was the best present I gave to myself... I know what will be my 2012 Christmas present!)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the giveaway. I love, love, love this collection (it's in my Rav queue since day 1) and I even have TFA yarn ready in my stash for all of them. I really like the Sand and Gold combo. I'm crossing my fingers!
I love all of the combinations! I cannot choose.

Such lovely colour combinations Tanis - just looking at those pics put me in my happy place :)
ReplyDeletekdrobins@mymts.net
It's always good news from TFA! I still can't decide which colors I would choose for Adhara!
ReplyDeleteFun! It would be so hard to choose one colour combination. Excellent idea for next year's colour club -- you both design great patterns.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the 2013 club, it will make a nice Christmas gift to myself!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I would love to win this one.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely choose Garnet and Velvet. Beautiful colors. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I would pick shadow and atlantic! I am also super excited about new weights of yarn for the club, I might sign up for something heavier than fingering! Thanks!
ReplyDeletea comment from Norway :)
ReplyDeleteLooking so forward to the 2013 Club and what this coming year will hold! Lovely colors -
ReplyDeleteA great announcement and a giveaway in one day???? That's almost too much to ask for. I'm susara on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteSusan

ReplyDeleteSpearmint and Lemongrass combo looks dreamy! thanks for the giveaway chance!
hi tanis! i've been sent over by alice of hook knit and spin. i loved what she had to say about you and i can't wait to have a read and look around your space. your yarn is breathtaking though, it may be hard to get beyond looking at those gorgeous skeins. oh my goodness. i don't know if i qualify, but i would dearly love to win this giveaway. thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeletexxx lori

ReplyDeleteGreat colors and love the idea for the yarn club next year :) My fav color pairing is lilac and dove
ReplyDeleteI followed the tour around all summer long with hopes of winning... perhaps now is my time?!? *squeezes eyes shut and begins with the "please oh please"s*
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteAny chance for electronic copies of patterns next year? I'm awful at keeping track of paper patterns, plus with electronic copies I can print them out and write all over them, but still have a clean original.
wow that's some yummy yarn - my fingers are crossed!
ReplyDeleteOh would love to win! I think my fav. combo is the Spearmint and Lemongrass.
ReplyDeleteSheri
Great giveaway - so many beautiful colors, thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteStunning colours!!
ReplyDeletejust SO love all your colors... it would be difficult to choose!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pairings! I think spearmint and lemongrass is my favorite, just because it's so unexpectedly bright. And doesn't that pairing sound like a candle or soap?
ReplyDeleteSO MANY pretty colors. I don't know how is choose!!
ReplyDeleteYour yarns and colourways are so amazing. I would love to knit Adhara in any one of these luscious colour combos. Can't wait for the 2013 TFA club.
ReplyDeleteJulie Ann
Love the yarn! and I'm with Rebecca, one day I, too, will win a blog yarn contest (or a blog contest at all!)
ReplyDeleteFirst off - congratulations on your Stella collection, it's beautiful! And the Adhara shawl one of my favourites. Your yarns are amazing and can hardly wait for the TFA 2013 Club to begin!
ReplyDeleteLove the yarn and pattern. I am also looking forward to the 2013 club to start.
ReplyDeleteGrr so hard to choice! I love all the colors (it a personal goal to have each color represented in my stash one day... is that odd?), but an Adhara shawl in Garnet and Velvet - oh yum!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win! ;-)
ReplyDeleteEverything I have made with your yarns have been wonderful. My husband's favorite is the pair of cashmere blend socks I made for him. Please choose me.
ReplyDeleteOh yes please!! :)

ReplyDeleteI would really enjoy winning this!
ReplyDeleteI love all the colour pairings but I would choose the Brick and Chestnut set!
Nothing like a pop of colour on a grey winter day.
ReplyDeleteBrick and Chestnut are AWESOME! But I'd welcome any combination to my household with open arms :)
