Those are some lovely 50% Yak, 50% Wool skeins I dyed a few days ago (the green one was gone in less than an hour from when I posted it on Etsy).
And I worked up a few more Uber Sock hanks.
I like the red one. Happy Holidays!

To Dye For! Sock Club
Fun, fun!
Slots are open for the To Dye For! Sock Club, only fifteen spaces! I thought it would be fun to put together a personalized sock club. In most yarn clubs, what you receive is a mystery until you open the package, we all know that’s half the fun! But it can be a hit or miss situation especially if you don’t know your subscribers.
In the To Dye For! Sock Club, subscribers will receive a questionnaire to fill out and return. It’s all in good fun and I will be dyeing each subscriber’s yarn using the answers they have given. No two skeins will be alike and each will be tailored to fit its recipient.
I’m keeping this club small so that I can tend to each skein individually and insure prompt shipping each month (January, February, and March 2009).
Each month, you will receive one skein (a generous 100 grams/460 yards) of kettle dyed, superwash sock yarn (fingering weight) dyed just for you. Subscribe by December 31st to secure your spot!

Kettle dyed superwash sock yarn anyone?
Freshly added to My Etsy.

Present Parade
Wee! My gifts are here! Thank you, Mr. Yarn Bearer, this is better than Christmas. Thankfully, I only had to give birth once to get this kind of gratitude (because I’m not going through that again).
Here’s the Mini Record Earrings, the Handcuff Necklace, and matching bracelet.
And the Jellyfish Earrings…
My LAMB BELT!
And this one isn’t exactly for me, but it’s awesome nonetheless. We got the Octonauts poster for Wee One’s bedroom. I’ve finally made up my mind, her room is going to be decorated based on this one poster.
Isn’t it great?! Wee One loves the beach and has a weird fascination with jellyfish. It seemed fitting. Yeah for Shana Logic… and Mother’s Day… and Mr. Yarn Bearer!
Back to projects… I’ve been bad. I started another beaded tunic… BUT it’s just so much darn fun to make! Maybe “small” just isn’t my thang, but I’ll see this through. I’m just sorry there won’t be thirty-one projects by the end of May, but I wouldn’t even have this many if I had just stuck to my usual routine. Later!
