great idea, lovely yarns!
Love the scarf and the handspun!
Try this one....works for me!
It is easier to be forgiven than to receive permission.
My favorite is "Be the change you want to see in the world" from Gandhi.
Beautiful yarn!
When in doubt my inspiraton is
"Why not? What's the worst that could happen." I quite often find out. I'd love this scarf in Red Veritigo against Black.

My favorite right now is by one of the ladies that started our knitting group - in honor of Sue - "It's only knitting, it's not World Peace!!"
"Wherever you go, there you are!"

Here's my most recent fave quote:
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." (Herm Albright)
Yummy, yummy yarn!!!
This is one for these times.
"It cost nothing, to hear no. Go for it!"
my most inspirational quote is
"If you can't fix it with duck tape, f@ck it." by anonymous, and everything can be fixed with duck tape, even relationships, though gets a little akward.
Everyday is a gift. If you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, you will miss the present.

Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Spring has sprung
The garden's begun
But the chill in the air
Is still somewhat there
I'll wait for the heat
But what makes my heart beat?
There's yarn to be purled
From Material Whirled
this is a very generous giveaway and the scarf design is an ideal way to use some beautifully exotic yarn as the decorative element. I am not sure where this quote came from, but I try to remember it in my everyday life:
"As unkindness has no remedy in law, let its avoidance be with you a point of honour."
My husband and I feel this way about our two boys.
Children are natural mimics--they act like their parents in spite of every attempt to teach them good manners.
--Anonymous
Your yarn is unlike any I've ever seen. I can't wait to use it!
When you see through love's illusions there lies the danger.

gorgeous yarn (as always) and a great scarf idea!!! Mine is not corny but always been a fav:
"We do not inherit the earth from our anscestors but simply borrow it from our children." But then i have always also enjoyed "interesting woman behave badly" as well.
One of my favorites that is silly, but totally describes me to a "t":

This has got to be the corniest quote I've come across:
"Two lions broke loose in the zoo and were eating a clown.
One lion said to the other ...
"Does this taste funny to you?"

Maybe that's just like a BAD joke, LOL!
I am totally in love with this yarn and would love the opportunity to win. Please don't hold this corny quote against me - I didn't think it up, really! :-)

a cool one I heard today was, "A library is a hospital for the mind." --anonymous Love the giveaway, very cool kit & scarf!
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope; and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy
"All achievement is born of dreams followed bravely to an unknown destination."
Elizabeth Goudge, Towers in the Mist
The whole world is, to me, very much "alive" - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood." -Ansel Adams
I chose a quote about the Earth/Nature since we are one day away from Earth Day :)
Your yarns are always amazing :)
"Inspiration follows aspiration."
– Rabindranath Tagore
I love this one so much I have it in my email signature lol.

Howabout:
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -Eden Ahbez
It makes a lovely song though. (^-^)
I cant'r remmeber wher I got this or the exact wording, but it goes something like this;
If you can let go of one unpleasant or hurtful experience each morning, you'll make room for the good things that day has to offer.
I'm enjoying reading the other quotes - I feel wiser already!
Only from the heart can you touch the sky.Hugs Darcy

lovely yarn :)
my true favorite quote is:
"be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle" -plato
Awesome giveaway!

Lovely giveaway.
Promises of tomorrow are those which allow me to put aside the past.
Very cool scarf kit!
"A tired dog is a well-behaved dog."
I love love love this scarf idea!! what an awesome whay to show off the handspun!!
"It's not brain surgery. No one will die if I don't get this done RIGHT NOW."
I'm not a doctor, so this works well for me. Someone told it to me when I started my first full-time, permanent position, and it's made all the difference. No, I don't give less then my all since no one will die, but when things get frantic and hectic and there are a million people screaming from a million different directions, I just take a deep breath and remind myself that no one will die.
Thanks for the contest. Here's my fav quote
Heirloom is knitting code for "This pattern is so difficult that you would consider death a relief. ~Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much
Fantastic scarf and use of your handspun!! Love it!!!
I have two favorite quotes - The "corny" one -
"Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there."
Will Rogers
And the one I repeat almost daily -
"If this is the worst thing that happens to me, it's still a pretty good day!"
unknown
Good luck choosing one - everyone submitted great ones!!
As always - beautiful yarn. I'm reminded of the words Ms Nolan - a lady I lived at for a few months, greated me with every morning : Work on making this day the best in your life - you never know if it could be if you just gave it a chance...
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

Hi Reenie
I have had this quote on my bulletin board for at least 30 years:
"The world would have you agree with its dismal dream of limitation...But the light would have you soar like the eagle of your sacred visions...

It's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission~
Hey Reenie,
Love to win the scarf!

I would rather die on my feet then live my life on my knees.

"I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life." (1980) by Actress Karen Allen and I feel the same way!
If I can do it anyone can! (This is what I saw when knitters say I can't do that).
When the world hands you lemons - make lemonade.
I've lived by that since my divorce and it's helped a lot
If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always did!
