The Name Game!

Knitivity Posted on by

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you this lovely hank:

Which ended up as BRS13-#232, which by the way is still available has now been sold.

Before I can put this up as joining the regular line-up of colorways with recipes, I need to find a name for it.  Many names were suggested, both here on the blog and over on Facebook.  Far too many for me to choose just one.    So I am going to list the ones I like the best, and allow you, the Knitivity Knitterati, to help me choose.  The way to choose is to simply hit the “comment” link below and leave a comment with your favorite(s).   The name with the most votes by Friday will be the name of this colorway and will be available for ordering at a discount this coming weekend.

Here are the possible names:

Winter Spice — combining several suggestions, bringing out the cinnamon, nutmeg, and all those other delicious aromas of winter feast times;

Mocha Swirl — picture a heavy earthenware mug by a mid-winter fire, swirls of coffee, chocolate, cream… mmmmmm;

Forest Floor — the dirt, fallen leaves, and chipped bark you encounter as you forge a new path through the wooded shadows.

Writer’s Block — the dark blue streak suggesting a bottle of unspent ink, the browns suggesting all the coffee consumed while waiting for inspiration to consume the ink.  Like this guy (which was once the logo on my other blog about 15 years ago).

So, there you have it!   Four yarn colorway names to choose from.

I look forward to your selections!

The Name Game! — 39 Comments

  1. Forest Floor (although I still like my original suggestion “tobacco road”

    • Cheryl: yeah that was good, too, but I have to think of my customers. A large portion of my customers are comfortable with many things in life, and I’m a smoker myself, but I try to keep Knitivity free of politics, religion, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, etc. But I may one day have a series of “adult” colorways, like “gym shorts”, “pasties”, “Granny’s Bloomers”…. 🙂

  2. While Mocha Swirl fits in with some of the other colourway names you have I have to officially vote for Writer’s Block.

    WRITER’S BLOCK!

    • I have a fondness for that name as well. It’s almost autobiographical, self-referential, or whatever that term would be.

  6. Winter Spice. Personally, I’d call it Cinnamon Swirl, it looks delicious!

  7. I thought of the bark of trees when I first saw this, so my vote is for Forest Floor.

  8. I like Mocha Spice — but that’s not one of your 4. So I’ll pick Mocha Swirl.

  13. I vote forest floor, as it kinda also reminds me of some of the petrified wood I’ve seen!

  14. Forest Floor as it would look perfect with a shawl I knitted in a yarn called Forest Canopy!

  18. My first thought was Winter Spice but when I read Writer’s Block inspiration I was sold. 😀

  22. I know I’m supposed to vote for one of the names above….but here’s another idea: Doe Skin. The yarn is all the colors of our lithe and lovely Michigan white tail deer.

    As for the list above, I vote for Winter Spice. Nutmeg and cinnamon YUM!

  23. I’m voting for Winter Spice, but I do love the concept of Writer’s Block. I now am craving a mocha latte with spices while I look at a blank screen and don’t know what to type.

  24. I have to go with Winter Spice because of the dominant brown family. To me the other names connote more colors, e.g. Mocha Swirl needs a bit of cream color, otherwise what is swirling? Should be foam or milk or something like that.
    Short answer: Winter Spice.

  29. Winter Spice – although I do relate to Writers Block, I think it would need some more red ink, too. So Winter Spice it is.

  30. My vote is Winter Spice. …. I think I will head to Starbucks for a Chai Frap!
