We interrupt this contest.......
Now, before anybody gets too upset with me,
let me explain.
There are exceptions to almost every rule.
Without the long story, let me just say that an exception
was made yesterday that made my son very happy. it was the right thing to do.
So, I'm making an exception and pulling the original contest yarn.
Because it is the right thing to do.
One of you pretend friends is getting the yarn
because I am a softy and cannot say no to a friend in need.
A pretend friend in need,
is a pretend friend indeed.
Therefore,
you need to rename the new yarn which is already named.
Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock color 48: Purple Irish.
If you'd like these lovely skiens, please give it a better name.
There is a little ? brownish tone to some of the yarn. I hope you can see it.
So, please reenter with a name for this new giveaway yarn.
I have to say the runners up for the last colorway that
I was leaning towards were: Curious George and the one
that sounds like Clapotis but is a tart in reality .
So oops, start over.
Because I think it is the right thing to do....
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I hope this isn't confusing anyone.
We are now naming the Purple Iris something else....
What a fantastic pretend friend you are!!! I hope, nay I know she appreciates it!
How about "Lupine Lane"
(I guess I have lupines on the brain today!)
is my suggestion.
PURPLE MOUNTAIN MAJESTY
it is so pretty and I should know!
How sweet of you--I would expect you to do something nice for a pretend friend in need!
Once upon a time, in a forest far away
Blue lived near a sparkling river
She had two lovers; Yellow and Red
who were fighting for her love
Blue got enough of the fighting
and took her lovers by hand
Her colour disappeared and
Yellow turned green
and Red turned purple
Love each other she said...
Or how about LAVENDER (and old) LACE
I hope your camera brings you tons of joy.
Ok, this one is a bit harder though... I'll go with "Emperor's Clothes" since they were pretend too ;)
amethyst and emeralds
Really beautiful.
purple paradise
Blooming Grass
Grass in Bloom
I'd rename it Purple People Eater
I hope there is someone else who is old enough to recognize this.
ps. i remember the purple people eater song
Beautiful colors! (Email address on profile/sicilianbuttercup on Ravelry)
So what else would a Louisiana gal say? :-)
Mint Tulip and Grape Julep
I would say Plum Gorgeous or Plum Lovely, or some other play on Plum as a fruit (and the color of your yarn) and also meaning "simply" or "totally"
