Very Pretty ! Too pretty for socks that hide on feet.So, I am thinking headbands or spring hat for girl to show off the spring colorway. :-)
I love you colours. I am in awe of spinners, although am avoiding the bug myself.
I would knit "My So-Called Scarf" as a nice way to explore your colours.
I would use it to make a shawl for myself. I thought it would look good as a BSJ, but it looks too nice to let a baby drool on... so I'll keep it for me as a shawl. I have many many in my queue to choose from... it looks so soft!
I love the look of that handspun and I would knit a pair of cosy house socks, toe up so I could use every bit of the yarn!
Nice colours I would use it to knit up a nice pair of Monkey socks. I love that pattern.
This yarn is gorgeous...I've never used handspun before. I would make something for ME (ha ha). Maybe a skinny scarf or headband.
I would love to make Canary Knits pattern named Hew. Your handspun is such a beautiful color and would look great as cute little top.
Your yarn is beautiful. It looks like it would make a lovely scarf

I had to check my queue and think it would look beautiful as the Argosy scarf. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/argosy
What do you think?
Thanks!
Lovely Spring colors. I think that a pair of Fetchings would be great in this yarn or maybe a lacey hat for Spring.
I'm jumping in on this one!
The colors are just amazing, and it's definitely a spring/summer sort of feel. I'm thinking I might have to design a snood or hair-kerchief.

p.s. if your bloghost doesn't store e-mail addresses for the comments, you may want to ask for ppl to leave their e-mail address as part of their comment. I'm going to put a note up about it on the CnK Giveaways site.
Beautiiful, beautiful yarn. I'd use this yarn to make a "skinny" scarf. A scarf not to keep me warm; but a scarf to show off.
Maybe a Dream Swatch.

this is so pretty that I don't think I'd be able to put shoes on it. a neckwarmer/scarf/shrug thing of my own design would probably be the outcome. It's beautiful!
I agree with the "too pretty for socks" comment!
Maybe some wristwarmers/armwarmers and/or a headband. Perfect colours for early spring when it's still chilly outside.
(Sorry about the delete-and-repost. I forgot to put an email address in the my original comment!)

I think a Dream Swatch headband made with your handspun would be perfect for spring.
What beautiful colors!
I think it would look great as the Star Stitch headband by Jennifer Fleury or I coudl see a cute pair of soft baby booties (maybe Saartje's Bootees by Saartje de Bruijn) or a little sweater - oh! or Odessa by grumperina... or.. Ok, I'll stop. I think I'd just have to hold it and let it whisper in my ear what it wanted to be.
Beautiful - thanks for the giveaway :)
Oh pretty yarn. I think a clapotis would be nice with that yarn. A little heavy for wear now, but it would bring a great spot of hope for Spring during the darker days of winter. :D
My daughters would have to learn to share a hat made from this yummy color!
Yummy Sorbet colors. I can hear it calling to be made into Spirogyra as found on KnittyDotCom.

Oh your spinning is gorgeous!! I think that colorway would make a gorgeous neck warmer.
