Here are some more pictures, for your reference:
I simply can't think of what to call it, which is where you come in.
Leave a comment with your naming suggestion on this post, and the person whose name I choose will receive a skein of Wollmeise.
Specifically this skein:
This is a skein of Wollmeise Pure (100% superwash merino, 150g), in the colorway "Gluckstag" ("Lucky Day.") (Not incidentally, it would work wonderfully to knit the pattern above.)
HERE ARE SOME RULES:
1) Eligible comments must be submitted by no later than midnight PST Thursday, August 21.
2) Multiple entries are welcome, but only one skein of yarn will be awarded.
3) Anyone may enter, but an international winner will not permitted to bitch about how slow the mail is.
4) I like pithy names that suit the item in question. No profanity or lewdness, please. (Subtle innuendo is okay.)
Go ye forth and name!
And have one more gratuitous Gozer photo:
59 comments:
Hotline. It should be named Hotline.
Name it "You Can't Take the Sky From Me" because it reminds me of the lines in space when you are warping through it.
That line is a Firefly reference.
chiroptera because it reminds me of bat wings
Working the Angles
Hawkwing? Harrier (the raptor, not the cross-country runner or the British jet)? There Is No Dana, There is Only Zuul?
Zuul, because it is obviously approved of by Gozer the Gozarian. :)
It reminds me of pterodactyl wings.
"FLY MY PRETTIES"
I like "clinker" or "lapstrake" because the lines remind me of viking-style ships.
36th Parallel
"Mainline" or "Derezzed"
How about Trickle Down, Dividing Lines, Split Lanes, Split Take, or Disintegration?
Lines of Lloyd (the lines remind me of his style of design)
Spine Tingler
Missile Command. . Make sure you put a disclaimer on it that it won't actually command missiles. It's an Atari game reference. Should I win, I will knit that shawl with that yarn.
Moirai - the Greek Fates. They snipped the length of a mortal's life when they were born. Of course you know this. And, I realize it's not super cheerful, but I always had that image of them, spinning, measuring, snipping in my head & when I saw the varying lines crossing the pools of color, I instantly thought, "The Fates", and the Greek name is pretty.
Line It Up
Break the Lines
Since this lovely shawl reminds me of dragons, I say you should call it "Dracarys" the command for the dragons to breathe fire in GoT
It reminds me of notebook paper. Maybe Composition Notes
Beads of Water
Take Offs and Landings
Mountain Ridges
Crossed Lines
I know this is probably more the variegation in the yarn but at a glance it kind of reminded me of all the data code strings from the matrix movies ... so I would recommend "Matrix" ... and then you could just hand deliver that little lovely to me ... joy
"Groove line"
Flight Line. Flightlines.
"The line forms to the left"
Double Time because it looks musical to me. (or Two Timer)
But if you want to take advantage of football season, go with Half-Time
End of the Line!
Call it WHOOSH! Or ZOOMZOOM LINES!
In all caps, because that was how my five year-old brain interpreted the shawl.
Unknown Pleasures, because is sort of reminds me of that iconic Joy Division album cover.
It reminds me of a bat wing or a dragon wing. So I think you should name it Daenerys because she is the Mother of Dragons after all.
That is a gorgeous pattern! I like "Standing to attention". It can be a bit cheeky and the lines makes me think of soldiers lined up for inspection.
City Line... because I work on City Line Rd and this reminds me of the rows of buildings there.
Broken Plaid. Tangental Tartan.
Pretty in pixels
Batwing
Twisted Dreams
The lines look like the water streaks along car windows when driving in the rain...I think you should call it Streaks or Water Streaks.
Dot Matrix
Cityline
Skyscraper
The lines on this strike me as really Streamline Moderne - and specifically make me think of the Chrysler Airflow ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Airflow ) - so I propose either Streamline or Airflow as your shawl's name.
Whatever you pick, it's super pretty and I will queue it immediately when it's published!
Linear Dream or Linear Thoughts
Here are some of my ideas:
Vineyard Ridgelines
Backbone
Dragon Wing
Chiroptera Ridges
Cheshire(some of the lines are vanishing like the cat, similar colors too)
Vanishing Peaks
Fading Stitch
Plateaus and Peaks
Magenta Gridline
Hope you enjoy reading these :)

Carpathia. As in Vigo.
Some like it fast or some like it quick.
Looks like it would be a nice quick knit.

It looks like highway traffic light trails to me, so with that seed, my brain generated:
Light trails
Light beams
Greased lightning
Light streaks
Long exposure
Stars at warp speed, or just warp speed
Neon night lights
Neat idea! Hope your find the right name. In lacysleeves on rav. :-)
I like Train Tracks, or Tracks
Or Sled Tracks (yeah, I have a one-track mind, lol)
Pulling the chain
Wings Rising
Star Shine
Rays of Destruction
I'm Happyheart on teh Rav
Pummel
Wallop
Thwack
Infiltrate
Marginalia.
It looks like the sorts of doodles that I doodle.
I'd call it Holy Batwing, because the raised ribs remind me of bat wings.
Best,
Jolandaknitssocks (rav name)
Eagle's wing
The colours make me think of early morning, how about Twilight Sunrise .
It reminded me of the patterns on a badmitton birdie, so I would say Birdie.
I'm dgg515 on Rav.
Lightning strike.
Electrical Alternans- it's an EKG rhythm in which the large spikes alternate between a lower and higher voltage (which reminded me of the raised stitches in the pattern). Bad news for the patient but a striking pattern for a shawl!
Here's and example: http://ecgguru.com/ecg/electrical-alternans
Bisectsy
Scalene Every Mountain
Oblique Chic
(Geometry silliness)
Ornithopter - after da Vinci's drawings of human powered flight
