My favorite Shakespeare quote is actually sonnet xxix:
When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least.
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings
My favorite word is probably my dog's name, Maverick. Thanks for the giveaway! robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com

It's a beautiful cowl and I'd love to win it! Thanks for the giveaway. One of my favorite words is oubliette, just because it sounds so beautiful and strange. (It means, apparently, a deep dark hole into which you cast people whom you want to forget about.) In French, I love the word insolite, which means odd and strange in a good, poetic, unusual way.
wow...beautiful!! hmmmm favorite word??? How about BLISS it just sounds so happy and peaceful!! :) thanks for the chance!!
Hmmm....favorite word?? This is a toughy! Maybe Love?? :)

The cowl is gorgeous! My favorite word is Sexy and always has been :)
I love your cowl! And words... how do I choose one? I named my first daughter Lilian because I loved the lilting sounds. And as a temporarily retired English teacher, I don't know how I could choose just one Shakespeare quote, but I'll give you a quickie: "Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast"
My favorite word is facetious. I love it. froggygirldesigns at gmail dot com
I love the word "rasp". It feels so good in the mouth.
If music be the food of love, play on. - Shakespeare
And my favorite items in the store are the Genevieve or the cowl !

My favorite thing on your etsy: the mustard stripe hobo gloves. they are really cute!
Fave Quote: "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,I never writ, nor no man ever loved."
For no particular reason other than the fact I like the way it sounds, my favorite word is serendipity.
beautiful! my favorite word currently is ephemeral!
lisadpope@ yahoo (dot) com

Hmmm. I have so many words, it's hard to pick one. My baby daughter seems to make me use larger vocabulary words like "fractious" and "comprehensive." Thanks for the chance!
I like the word Serendipity, "the accident of finding something good or useful without looking for it"
My favorite word is SHINE :)
Best,

Oooh, I really love this cowl - so gorgeous!
My favorite word? Wow, that's tough. I'm a wordie - you know like a foodie? :P

"Whumsical is more Whimsical than Whamsical." ~The waiter from "The Gay Divorcee
My favorite item at Pretty Wit is Flemeny woo the wolly. SOO cute!
My favorite shakespeare quote is sonnet 116. If I had to choose a specific quote from that sonnet, it would be "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come"
What an utterly gorgeous piece!
Thanks for the beautiful giveaway.
There are so many words I love... how 'bout delirious?
I'll also favorite your etsy shop!
How beautiful! I love the chunky knit scarf you've got on etsy as well. (I kind of want to buy it, but I have spent far too much money this month. Perhaps I'll get money for Christmas though, hmm.)
Anyway, I'm only going to leave one comment, so favourite word... that's difficult. I notice words I don't like much more than the ones I do - moist, for instance is my least favourite word ever. I kind of like the word 'cacophony' though. It's such a mess of a word and it's fun to say.
(clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com)
I love the word "onamonapia"..it's so much fun to say. It's such a cool word.
Thanks for the giveaway.
My favourite word is "omnibus", I think it's hilarious!
"Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving."
Happily favourited on Etsy!
Apart from this gorgeous cowl, which I really, really, really want to win lol, I like this lovely scarf from your store; http://www.etsy.com/listing/80087369/genevieve-scarf-super-long-chunky-hand
Thank you. Which technically is two words.

just one? I don't know if I have one right now, but when I was going to school for massage therapy I seriously loved "adipose" as often as I could. Totally awesome sounding word.
Favourite word . . . BLESSED.

We're teaching my baby girl parts of the body and face, and I must say I adore how she says eyebrows - it comes out eyeboos. I ask her to say it allthe time!

Huh, I also don't know that I have a favorite word. But the question is making me think of happy words like "love" (yes, that's cheesy, but true)
Favorite item is the yellow rose ring!
Favorite word is hypoxia, not what it is, but how it feels to write. I'm a nursing student and taking notes is awful, so I have to make fun out of it somehow.

I can never remember it correctly so I have found the actual quote that I have always loved
"Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude"
Locked out into the cold forest is better than mistreatment among fellow men. Reality.

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Oh, I love Shakespeare and took all the Shakespeare courses I could in University. Literally. The only one that I couldn't take was Shakespeare for non-Humanities students.
I don't really have a favourite quote, so I'll pick one from A Midsummer Night's Dream which I acted some of in university and also had my elementary school class perform when I taught:
Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once:
The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.
One of my favorite words is grace.
bedtime! ;)

Hooray, someone else named Marguerite! That's fun!
I always thought "budget" really sounds like a swear word :)
And I like Portia's speech from MoV, especially:
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself.
And earthly power dost the become likest God's,
Where mercy seasons justice.

Oh, I have so many favorite words. "Opulent""Enraptured" and "Intoxicating" are just a few! That scarf is BEAUTIFUL!
"mommee" from my 2 yr old.
The cowl is beautiful! My favorite word? Lovely.
I've always liked the word "fodder" for some reason. Maybe because it sounds kind of funny...
Love the knitted cowl.
This is just beautiful!!!! I only know the knit stitch, but this makes me want to learn all the rest of them. My favorite word is "grace".
Thanks for the chance! transeau(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

I love the Genevieve scarf and the cowel, but I am also pretty fond of the paperdoll. It reminds me of when my mother would make us paper dolls on those rainy days when we were stuck inside the house! ann.cardamone @ gmail.com
I'm not sure if I have an absolute favorite word, but I really enjoy using the work "guffaw". It's so odd, and people always think I'm ridiculous when I use it in a conversation.
Beautiful cowl.
Oh yes, I would indeed love to win. Cable knits are my favorite but being a non-knitter, I rely on others to provide my fix. ;)
Favorite word...hrm...there are so many possibilities! Being an avid reader, words are friends. How about...imagination. Simple but more powerful than most people realize. Imagination is where things are born and can ultimately shape the world.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Love this-beautiful! Favorite word-I tend to use awesome a ridiculous amount-but I guess I love recon-as in reconaissance (OK I spelled it wrong, but it is late, and I am not looking it up.) I am checking you out on etsy too:)
This cowl is phenomenal - which is also one of my favorite words! :) rhondblogs at gmail dot com
How do you pick a favorite word?? *grin* Let's see... "crockpot".
That cowl looks like a fluffy soft cloud.
