Love the Genevieve Scarf - so beautiful!
My favorite word is "door". Seriously, how much fun is that word?!

hmm, favorite word. I rather like "frak" - a Battlestar Gallactica that neatly got them around the censors for swearing, while creating a satisfying safe swear word for the rest of us to use too. :)
(I'm a follower too!)
My favorite word is HOPE, thanks for the chance to win, it's a beautiful cowl! :)

That cowl looks SO comfy. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
My favorite word of the moment seems to be "fantastic" given how much I've been using it lately. That's not a terribly interesting word, so I'll give you "untenable" which also gets used a lot around our lab.
And just for a three-fer, may I present to you "teneums" which is the word given to me by the verification. Not a real word, but it should be. And it should be a noun that refers to the boring waiting period where it is too short to bother getting a book out, but too long to not get bored out of your mind.
My favorite item in your store is the chic hobo gloves in white. I've never seen such sophisticated looking hobo gloves!
My favorite Shakespeare quote is "[...] it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
I'm a grad student...we get to use that quote a lot. ;)

My favorite word is definitely "yoni." It has a variety of meanings and cultural history, but most often means "origin of life."

Love the Genevieve scarf! akmajor (at) gmail (dot) com
My favorite word is love because it reminds me of why I do what I do...for the people I love, the things I love, and the love of my Savior for me. Absoultely LOVE your cowl and I hope it comes to live at my house!
Pretty cowl!
I have favorite phrases, more than words. Lately, it's a very colorful one right after I finish a tough workout ;)
What a generous giveaway. Thanks for participating. I'm following.
Your cowl is my favorite item in your shop. It's beautiful.
I like the word aviary. Weird, I know. Especially since I don't like birds.
Shawna:)
I more have a favorite phrase than word, and it is "stinkin cute" lol I say it a bunch :)
My favorite word is forgive. If more people did that, the world would be a more peaceful place. Thanks for a chance to win the gorgeous cowl. ellen@myerly.net
That looks so cozy! My favorite word is zealous!
a favorite word is extraordinary. it is really extra and ordinary. I think it can remind us that amazing things are not that far out of our reach.. something ordinary with just something extra... not unattainable.
Great cowl! Thanks for the opportunity.
Favourite word - breathe
Following you.
I favourited your shop on Etsy.
I love the cowls and the blue tote bag.
PLethora...Like how much fabric I wish I had:)
My favourite Shakespeare quote is
" What ho, Brbantio?"
from The Merchant of Venice, it always made me giggle when we were studying the play at school!
I love saying "seriously" whilst rolling my eyes. My teenager makes me do it.
I do really really want to win. Those are beautiful. So I became a follower.
May favorite from the shop of The Nerves of Steel bracelet. Not only do I not have black "pearls" yet, that name is the best.
I also blogged about your giveaway at http://secondhanddinosaur.blogspot.com/2011/12/soft-cabled-cowlness.html . Thanks!
My favourite word is nocturnal. I like this word because my 6 years old niece knows it before me and whenever I hear this word, it reminds me of her.

i think pomegranate is such a fun word.
nice and bright.
your work is beautiful!
cheers,

Lovely! I would love to win this, so I could give it to my daughter. My favorite word? What a hard question? Baby.
That's a gorgeous cowl! Hmmm...favourite word...I don't know that I have one, but there are tons of jargon-y words in my field (architecture) that drive me crazy. We call it "talkitecture!"
This is beautiful...and I'm really chilly right now and would love it if a soft cowl were around my neck! I don't truly have a favorite word, per se, but really, how can you go wrong with "chocolate"? (word, color or form -- all good!)
Favorited your Etsy shop (I would have anyway -- a second entry is icing on the cake!) Etsy name banba1...
And my favorite item from your shop is the Genevieve Scarf -- TOTALLY my style!!!
Favorite Shakespeare quote -- the entire St Crispin's Day speech from Henry V...I'll leave you with the last snippet!
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
My favorite word is Joy. It also happens to be my middle name.
I followed your blog, too!
My favorite word is "forgiveness".
I really LOVE the braided cowl...seriously, love it!! Thanks for the chance! Smiles~Beth
Added you to my favorites on Etsy!
Thanks for the chance! Smiles~Beth
My favorite word right now is "respectful". I seem to be using it alot with my 3 boys lately ;) Thanks for the chance!
Smiles~Beth
My favorite word would have to be "congratulations" because your gorgeous cowl is exactly what my daughter wants for Christmas. And, um, I don't knit!
I want to say the favorite from a Shakespeare play is, "Out damn spot!" but I'll pick another, "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." That's much nicer.
One of my favorite words is callipygian.
Right now my favorite word is cowl.....
;)
Word: Witty. It rhymes with so many funny words!
Favorite word would be vivacious!
My favorite word is "literary"! Thank you for the chance to win -- it is so cold here I would just love that cowl!
My favorite word of the moment is "shrimp." Merry Christmas!
I'm a new follower.
Faved you on Etsy!
Choosing a favorite item is tough. It's between the braided cowl and the flower power totebag.
Whenever my husband leaves the house he says, "I go, I go; look how I go, Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow." (Midsummer Night's Dream) Not quite the St. Crispin's Day speech, but we find it highly amusing.
Rebecca
my favorite word right now is feminine!
