knee highs

Not that we'd ever drink and knit - unless we've been invaded by forces from Missouri bearing beautiful yarn and yummy wine!

Keri from 3AM Enchantments has arrived (again - does she even have a home?!) so that we can iron out the details for the new Yarn and Bag club that we are offering.  In a nutshell, here are the details:

This is a first come, first serve deal; as it is our first endeavour, we are limiting the spots to keep it managable. Assuming (hah! we all know what that stands for) that things go swimmingly, we are hoping to have additional clubs in the future, so please don’t despair.

Our philosophy:
We love to knit, and we love knitters. Many of you who have expressed interest are people that we already know, and who already know us and our products. We plan to spoil you, and our express hope is that everything you get from us will be awesomely stupendous and blow your socks off. You can replace those socks with ones you knit from our club! Each package will be centered around a theme, and may be slightly tongue-in-cheek or sophisticated, depending on where our muses take us. You will not be receiving anything that is cheesy, overly sugary-sweet, or 80’s country goose-ish!

What you get:
4 shipments that include yarn, a bag, a pattern, and goodies that are tied together thematically. We’ve already picked all of the fabric for the bags, and are working up the yarn colors and patterns right now. We’ve also already spent a couple of bits on goodies, and have more on order! All yarns will be in sock-appropriate weights, yardage and fibers; although we reserve the right to create patterns other than socks. The bags will either be 3AM Enchantment Basic Bags, or bags of similiar quality and value in exciting new structures. Goodies are whatever our little (well let’s be honest here - big!!!) hearts desire, and will be things that we use in our own knitting and find helpful.

What we get:
Each shipment will be $50 plus shipping. We are beating Paypal into submission in order to get it to let us set up subscription payments. Details will be provided on how this will work as soon as we get it all figured out, but this is not a “pay everything up-front” club. Of course if you want to pay everything up-front, we’re happy to take your money …. ;)

When you get the loot:
Shipment dates are tentatively scheduled at April 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 2009. We will send shipping notifications - each shipment must be paid in full prior to shipping.

Ok now on to regular life.  I have finished knitting with the first skein of Wollmeise that I was ever blessed with.  I recieved it at the Loopy Ewe spring fling last year, which Woooooo Hoooooo I will be getting to go to again this year.  These are also my first Knee Highs, I love the pattern too.

I highly recommend knitting something out of what ever yarn in your stash that you have always been saving for something special.  This was such a rewarding experience, simple pattern and a beautiful yarn equals a great, finished project.
