That one is lovely Jenna!
I would say Mercy Me "Here With Me" is one of my all time favorites.
Oh I wanta play....
My favorite song of all time would have to be Skulls by the Misfits and my Fav band is Green Day.
Lovely fiber. Yum! Fave song (well, for the time being) is U2's Mysterious Ways. Alternatively, Sesame Street's C is for Cookie (don't laugh, it's my phone ringtone).
oh, that's so pretty! love it!
My fav song is "Everyday Love" by Rascal Flats.
"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Nice roving!
Oh lordy, I have to pick just one favourite? I suppose at the moment it's Vienna Teng, for being a charming woman as well as an awesome musician. The last time I saw her live I got her to hold my sock-in-progress afterward for a picture.
"Loved by the Sun" by Tangerine Dream. It's from the Legend soundtrack and my hubby and I used it at our wedding. It's sooooo cheesy but it's a sweet song and makes me cry every time.
Too many favorite songs to name just one! But U2, Sting and Tom Waits do it for me every time!
I just love "No Cars Go" by Arcade Fire, except I change the words to "No Dogs Go."
Very lovely .. my favorites purples, greens.... simply wonderful.
We are listening to a lot of classical music right now between older son's music appreciation class and younger son being a flutist. So my favorite song is Little Fugue.. by Bach!
Susie-Knits (ravelry)
My current favorite song is "Another Postcard" by Barenaked Ladies. BL is my favorite band, too. :)
That is divine!!
One of my all time favorite songs is "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
As far as a band, I can't pick just one..
Thanks for the opportunity!
It's so pretty I have to play!
I don't think I could honestly pick a favorite, but for this contest, I'll say Eric Clapton, as I've been listening to him lately. Got to see him in concert once, and I think I sat with my jaw slightly dropped the whole time--what a genius!
I've got different songs (and bands) for different moods. One of my current favorite Bands is Disturbed. I love their latest album "Ten Thousand Fists"---there's so many good songs on it, including an *excellent* cover of "Land of Confusion".
When I'm writing, I use different playlists to help me set the mood and get into my character's heads. Disturbed features on one playlist for a character who has a lot to be angry about and is (so far) still feeling very powerless. I don't yet know if the band will show up as themselves or if I'll make it some made-up band, but currently this character has been to four of their concerts since she was exiled from her home territory.
As for your fiber---stunning! I'm a newbie spinner and I'd love to see what I could make out of that. Here's to hoping for a win! *smile*
I don't think Google/Blogger links to my blog.
Anne.
Gorgeous fiber. Absolutely love the colors.
Okay, now that's a tough choice to make. :) Always did hate having to pick a specific favorite, always depends on my mood. Can I pick three and get away with it? :)
Gonna have to go with Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones.
Mestina on Rav
That is some seriously gorgeous roving!
As to my favorite band, I have to go with the Beatles. I can't pick a favorite song -- I love so many!
I'm really touched by "What Kind of World Do You Want" by Five for Fighting. I have two boys with autism, one high-functioning, and one non-verbal and severely affected. Autism Speaks did a video to John Ondrasik's (Five for Fighting) song that I can't watch without crying because it hits so close to home. John encouraged others to make videos using his song as the inspiration with all the money going to charity. I love this song and respect the man behind it a great deal because he's really trying to make a difference.
Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/

These are beautiful colors!! I love it.

I am choosing my favorite from among many favorites, at random, but today my favorite is In My Life, Beatles, one of the great songs of all time.
Beautiful roving!
Favourite artist/song? That's a hard one. But I do enjoy listening to the Wailing Jennies. And Mozart Piano Concertos!
Thank you!
sarsbar on Rav.
One of my all time favorite songs is "Walkin in Memphis"
Awesomeness thanks for the contest!
I am a Canadian in the middle of the South and I brought with me my love for the band Blue Rodeo. Falling Down Blue is my absolute Favorite right now "Oh right, need you tonight that I am not really sure what to say. Keeps rollin in like a slow moving train it gets harder and harder each day". they have a song for everything it seems.
treuil@gmail.com
Beautiful!
Simon and Garfunkel, telling my age here....

I can't really say I have a favorite song, so in order to play along I will say that one of the songs I love is "Black" by Pearl Jam. I would also include Pearl Jam among my favorite bands, not only for their music but for Eddie Veder's social conscienceness (did I spell that right?).
Love that roving!!!
Lovely roving!
Favorite song is probably "Freewill" by Rush.
Favorite band is REALLY tough--Rush, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd... Too hard to decide!
I am fu2x818 on Ravelry
Absolutely - "Secret o' Life", by James Taylor - is my favourite song of all time, resonates with me like no other, and becomes more and more poignant the older I get. The secret of life IS enjoying the passage of time...
Cheers!

Pretty pretty fiber!
I have a lot of favorite songs but one I always love to hear over and over is "These are the Days" by 10,000 Maniacs.
Chandra on Ravelry
Beautiful Fiber!!! My all time favorite would have to be The Talking Head's "Life During Wartime"
Hi,
I'd have to say my favorite song of all time is "Whisper Hungarian to Me" by the Toids. My favorite group is Portishead.
This fiber is just wonderful. Beautiful work.
- Mommyzilla (Rav SN)
Blind Melon for sure... I could listen to them ALL day!
knitinmn on Ravelry
That's an easy one, The Eagles is my favorite group:) My kids always buy me Beatles cd's by mistake though (LOL)and I because I don't have the heart to correct them, I have a collection of Beetles cd's!
This is such a cool contest, with an even COOLER prize. My favorite song of ALL time is "Air of Tonight" by Phil Collins. I just love the drum beats, and the intense emotion behind that song.
What a beautiful roving!!
My favorite band right now is Michael Franti & Spearhead, but my all-time favorite is probably the Duhks. My favorite song of the moment is this little diddy on my childhood music box.
--KnitKnerd-- on Ravelry - or email at knitknerd@embarqmail.com
I love, love, love Norah Jones. And one song of hers that I never tire of hearing is "The Nearness of You".

Gorgeous fiber, BTW.
Right now, my favorite song is 1999 by Prince. It reminds me that nothing is certain and bad things can be over feared. I'm angelbelle on rav.
Just found your blog via etsy - yummy roving! I'm a diehard Oasis fan but my all time favorite song is "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong (my Dad and I danced to it at my wedding!)
JoannaCos on Ravelry
Favorite song ever, no matter how old i am or my mood:
Rainbow Connection.
I have a great fondness for Kermet.
Knutty on ravelry. <3
Gorgeous Roving!! Pick Me! Pick Me!
Currently, my two favorite songs are "The Cat Came Back" and "Whaddya Think of That?" by Laurie Berkner. My 2 year old son introduced me to these two and we love them. I hear him singing the chorus to either one or both of them 3-4 times a day.
It always puts a smile on my face and any song that can do that is definitely a fave!! :)
Oh man I can't decide, but if it's a song I will always turn up and sing along with embarrassing enthusiasm, I would have to say Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

My favorite song of the moment is "Turn to Stone" by ELO. But it may change tomorrow or next week!
Bob Dylan. Favorite of all time. Too many songs to pick one, but maybe "Tangled Up In Blue."
Lovely fiber.
Easy Pick - It's the Social Distortion cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire"
RavName
BratKnits
favorite song growing up--"The Promise" by When in Rome.
current favorite artists--Barenaked Ladies, Vienna Teng, Rachel Yamagata
this is tough, but One Voice by the Wailin'Jennys always gives me goosebumps and makes me sing my lungs out!
There is no way for me to pick just one song that is a favorite. My day job is at a record label and there's just too many songs/bands to choose from!
I will make note of the Killers and "Believe Me Natalie" though. I was standing on the back of the stage during one of their concerts while they sang that song and as Natalie is my name, it will always be a really special memory. =)
Thanks for the drawing! Beautiful roving as always.
I love this fiber!!!!!!!!! My favorite band is bon Jovi and my favorite song by them is bed or roses. I am ladyfemme on Rav.
Even Flow by Pearl Jam!
Rav name lafitzwater
Fabulous colors!!!
"You're the Inspiration" by Chicago is my all time favorite song... favorite band is the Beatles.
sara on rav
Hurrah for Friday! Very pretty roving.
My favorite song is Lemon by U2.
I found your contest on the Ravelry spinning knitters board, and it looked like fun--plus that roving is gorgeous! This is a tough one. I tend to like different things at different times. But I have to say, one of my favorite songs is "Young James Dean" by Girlyman. It's about growing up queer, (which not everyone can relate to) and feeling different, which I think everyone can relate to.
Claire (wingcolor on ravelry)
ohh, pretty roving!
I have a lot of favorite bands. but up near the top would be Moxy Fruvous
My faves change frequently, but I can frequently be heard singing Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A- Changin'" as sung by Blackmore's Night (as well as Home Again) at the top of my lungs in the car.
Sometimes I feel like an old lady. I haven't heard any really 'good' music in a really long time.
I used to be a huge a cappella music head, but like I said, no one has really done anything really good in a long time.
My favourites from a time gone would be M-pact's First Steps and Five O'clock Shadow's Far Away.
Though I just stumbled across a song I'm gaga over- River Flows In You by Yiruma.
I really love Why Don't You and I by Santana... oh, and that song on the commercial for the Mercenaries video game (Oh no you didn't!) ;-D
Golly, that's GORGEOUS. My favorite song (at the moment) is Tam Lin, as sung by Steeleye Span, which is currently my favorite band as well.
I'm Spinnerin on Ravelry, if you prefer to contact me that way.
Wow! What gorgeous roving!!! My favorite artist...George Winston (he is a pianist) My parents took me to one of his concerts once....I was in heaven!
There are so many great songs to choose from, but I'll since I've been on a Lyle Lovett kick lately, I'll say Church by Lyle Lovett and his Large Band.
LynnZimm on Rav
Beautiful roving!! I'd love to spin it - maybe add some sparkly, hmm.
Right now, my favorite song is by Everlast - Saving Grace
bitord on rave
I am sending him thoughts of 60 60 60 60, oh, and the fiber is just lovely also.
foothillsfiber@yahoo.com
That's really pretty!
My favorite band of all time is Metallica, but I can't pick just one song by that band - I love them all! Otherwise my favorite song is Carry You Home by James Blunt :)
Once again awesome colors!
My favorite band is The Grateful Dead and my favorite song by them is Peggy-O
I am ethanamyknit on Ravelry.
Definitely 'Janie's Got a Gun' by Aerosmith. Aerosmith is my all time favorite band and the only band I've ever seen in concert. By the way, my nickname is Janie. Lovely fiber!
My Ravelry name is Tinknips.
It's hard to pick a favourite but The whole Bat out of Hell Meatloaf album always takes me back to my early university years when we all knew every word to all the songs...
I'm Mommyknits on ravelry.
Too many songs. Bands, too. But if I had to pick just one, I'd go with Queen. White Stripes are close behind.
Picking a favorite is really hard but today it's Those Sweet Words by Norah Jones
That's gorgeous roving!
My favorite band of all time is Off-kilter, and my favorite song of theirs is their cover of "Danny Boy" Rock bagpipes Danny Boy!
It should link back to my email address and blog, but my handle on ravlery is KnitKass
Wow the fiber is beautiful...and what a cool idea for a contest! I would have to say my favorite song is "happily ever after" sung by Case...it was our wedding song.
Guns N' Roses "November Rain" :)
The Beatles are the best band EVER! Together for 8 years, and their music went from pop love songs to strange and cynical songs accompanied by a sitar.
The roving is gorgeous!
Azalea820 on Rav.
I love The Doors. I have to drive with cruise control on when I listen to them because I drive SUPA fast. :D venutianbeauty @ ravelry
Being a self-proclaimed music addict, it is completely impossible for me to pick a favorite band. And while there are LOTS of songs I love, my all-time favorite song is "What a Wonderful World" performed by Louis Armstrong.
I'm amybeth7 on Ravelry.
I've been listening to "Today's Lesson" on Nick Cave's "Dig Lazarus Dig" over and over again all summer. Sometimes I go to another track on that record, though--"We Call Upon the Author." Damn good CD. But I'm pretty much stuck on Track 2, there.
Pretty, pretty, fiber you make. And if I win, it'll be a birthday present! (Hairball on Ravelry, making a blatant bid.)
I would say one of my favorite bands is Flogging Molly. I love the irish punk.
Beautiful dye by the way.
(I'm MirandaVal on ravelry)
Love the colors.
Fav song: Your Song by Elton John
vfrede on Ravelry
My favorite of all time is Paul Simon. And favorite song? Bop until you Drop by the Nylons
I'd have to say "No Children" by The Mountain Goats.
What can I say? I go for the cutesy song with a horrific message.
I LOVE That roving and I LOVE
"Earth Angel"--My husband had a musician serenade me at our wedding
:)
What nice colors!
My favorite song is Skies of Blue by Mr. Louis B. Armstrong.
BEEEE UUU TTTTT FUL roving!!!
Meatloaf / bat out of hell!
fiibmgirl on Rav
I love that colorway!
My favorite song is "Hallelujah" which was written/performed by Leonard Cohen, but I like Jeff Buckley's performance of it the best. It gives me goosebumps, it's so beautiful.
"Superman Song" by Crash Test Dummies
Love that baritone!
"Superman Song" by Crash Test Dummies
Love that baritone!
lanamfeci on Rav
My all time favorite has to be Pachelbel's Canon. I actually have a cassette (showing my age!) of "Pachelbel's Greatest Hit"...no s on hit. It's different recordings of his Canon in D!
I love the fiber!
Favorite band of all time - Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band.
Favorite song of all time -- perhaps Shambala by Three Dog Night.
I am "BloomKitty" on Ravelry! :-)
Thanks for the opportunity!
-Mary
Ah..pretty!
So I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Tom Waits this summer in Knoxville. I love so many of his albums, but as I have to choose.., Mule Variations. He performed "Black Market Baby", "Chocolate Jesus," and closed the show with "Come on Up to the House"...just awesome!
ooo- so beautiful (and the craft room is awesome too!)
my fav song of all time is Short Skirt, Long Jacket by Cake.
Beautiful colors!
I have lots of favorite songs, but the first one on the list is "As" by Stevie Wonder.
Beautiful roving!
Favorite song? Mmm.... Probably "Remember Me" by Mark Schultz.
Very pretty!
Hard question... First comes to mind is Billy Joel, Vienna. But then I really like The Proclaimers, 500 Miles, Oh wait... Eric Clapton, Bellbottom Blues... WAIT! Van Morrison, Into the Mystic... Gee, I could go on and on... Yeah, and favorit band is the same way with me. :-)
My favorite song is Heaven by Bryan Adams, Always was and will be.
This fiber has my name written all over it...love it.
How can I choose my favorite band/song? Are we talking rock, country, blues, classic???
I guess I have to go with The Band..every song/album they recorded became an instant classic.
My favorite song of all time is "Swan Dive" by Ani Difranco. It is such an empowering song. I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to after listening to it for awhile.
Ahhh so easy, my fave band is Incubus, and my fave song by them is Stellar!
Ronald Kohl is my favorite band. Gorgeous batts, keeping my fingers crossed!
Favorite song? Aretha Franklin, of course, singing “Respect”...
Favorite band? Hmmm, a little tougher.
The Beatles? (I am a child of the 60s!)
The Band (Bob Dylan’s back up….)
Brian Eno/Talking Heads…
Lovely fiber!
"I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you."
Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton because every woman deserves to be loved like this by her love.
Beth at www.whorlingtides.blogspot.com
Oh, my goodness, that is lovely! My favorite song is If I Had a Million Dollars by the Barenaked Ladies
Beautiful fiber!
You've gotta love anything by Jimmy Buffett! Cheeseburger in Paradise, Margaritaville, Fins, the list is endless!
Totally hot fiber! I have seen many of your posts on Ravelry, but never knew that you had an etsy store. I am into "speckled" rovings right now and as soon as I get paid next week I am going to have to place an order. Love your blog!
oh, favorite song/band- I am really digging "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis right now. But my all time favorite band is Soul Coughing.
I love "This is the Day" by The The. I know, 80's flashback (and also makes me want m & m's) but I don't care. Love it. sticksnstring on Ravelry
Gorgeous colours!
Could I pick two??? ...... E.C. and The Eagles
Rav. grannygail
What pretty roving! I hope I win. :-)
While I have a lot of bands I like and have gone through phases of liking more, the Goo Goo Dolls have been in my top 5 since about 8th grade or so (and I'm 25 now...so that's more than a decade of good rock).
Rav name: CarissaMarie
"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite. My husband and I danced to it at our wedding 35 years ago; it's "our song".
OH so beautiful! :) My favorite song is "Time of your Life" by Green Day. :)

Beautiful, beautiful dye job! Hmmm, as for my favorite song, for now it is "Never Give Up" by Ron Sexsmith, and as for my fave band/group, there is no way I can name just one! :) Thanks! jojocheng on etsy
Gorgeous fiber! If I had to pick 1 song, it would be "If I Could Dream" by Elvis (is my age showing? /g/) Story is that he'd already recorded his 69 Comeback Special when MLK was assassinated. In response and in an attempt to keep the "I have a dream" speech alive, Elvis added this song as a tribute and the advertisers said they'd pull their money if he included the song. He said "Yeah? Go ahead."
Too many favorites -- but two that popped to mind as reminding me of my youth: Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan and We Shall Overcome -- hmm, dispare and hope.
The fiber looks wonderful!
Lovely roving! I got here from your Ravelry post - i'm mesecina there.
Favorite band...I'd have to say Steeleye Span, though that's a hard choice, and picking one favorite song is just impossible.
"Walking to Do" by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. No matter how much I listen to it, I still love it, and it never fails to cheer me up.
(mraow on Ravelry)
Gah! Just came from your shop (and I'm apparently so excited that I can't type properly). That roving is gorgeous (and is now on my favourite items). I assume that when I get some cash going, you could repeat that colourway? Because it's so pretty it WILL sell out!
Favourite song changes depending on my mood, and so does the band. Right now the favourite band would be a friend's new band, Grave Maker.
brittanyknits on the Rav!
Pretty! My favorite would have to be Andrea Bocelli when I'm relaxing, and Jack Johnson/Colbie Caillat when I am knitting- they're great to sing with!
"All Star" by Smashmouth. Not a band I'd ever pick but was one of the kid's music pick's a few years back that caught my ear...and stuck.
My favorite is probably Norwegian Wood by the Beatles.
Beautiful, beautiful fiber!
Lesleyluu on Ravelry
Man Eater by Hall and Oates.
I love that roving! It's so pretty. :) My music tastes cycle, so I don't have an all time favorite song. Right now I'd have to lean toward Ingrid Michaelson's The Way I Am.
The Ramones!!!!!!
Michelle (is a punk rocker)
mishaplumb on Ravelry
Can I join in?
My favourite song is "Before you learn to fly" by Sue Pyper.
It is snow patrol. Mellow yet singable.
beankendall on Rav.
My current favorite song isn't really a "band" kind of song. I have musical taste all over the map, so it's hard to pick one, but my current preferred dose of audible xanax is Double Violin Concerto by Bach. I can turn that on whenever, regardless, and it brings a smile to my face.
Easy - my favorite song of all time is "The Killing Moon" by my favorite band, Echo and the Bunnymen. The Vapors are a close tie for fave band, though!
That is some luscious roving! Thanks for the contest!
echowoman on ravelry
ouu pretty fiber!!
I'd say one of my fav bands is Bon Jovi!
No fav song though...
The beach boys because their music has such a great cadence.
Bueatiful colors!! It looks wonderful.
Fave song... No fav really but I love Michael Buble'.
The Ballad of Curtis Loew by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Or anything by Aretha Franklin, so I guess she may be my current favorite singer.
My favorite cd is k.d.lang's Hymns of the 49th Parallel. It just leaves me breathless every time I listen to it. That roving is beautiful!
szivec AT accesscomm DOT com
I love, love, love those colors!!
If I had to choose, my all time favorite song would probably be "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from the movie Grease. My favorite band/singer is probably Deidre Flint.
Favorite Band: Bruce Hornsby and the Range. It was the first band I got to see in person.
Love the fiber, very pretty!!
Humm, I would have to say that my new fav song would be. Broken Hearted Soul, by Ra.
This is my first time on your blog. Beautiful fiber!!
I guess I might as well mention a favorite song while I'm here... hmm, hard to pick one...
My ring tone is "Would you go with me" by Josh Turner, who happens to be my current favorite artist. "Stealing Cinderella" by Chuck Wicks is also a favorite song right now, but my tastes are too eclectic to choose a real favorite - I like everything from the Beatles to the Muppet Treasure Island soundtrack!
Ooh! I know! The little ditty before the Swedish Chef's bit on The Muppet Show - would that count as a song? ;-)
