April's "Spoiler"

Inspired by wanting to do a bit of purple for this month, a overtone/undertone colourway was born. This one should knit up into an interesting semi-solid with overtones of purple and undertones of pink.  Enjoy!

April's "Teaser"

These were in the mail on the 15th and a lot of you have received your yarns already but nevertheless, I better post the teaser before the next delivery is here...LOL

This month's colourway was painted on 100% superwash merino that is oh-so-squishy! Enjoy!

March's "Spoiler"

Inspired by Spring and the sun starting to show itself a bit more often, this colourway was born with the hopes of it bringing a bit of cheer into the dreary days we've been having. Hope everyone enjoys it! I have visions of baby knitting for this colourway :-)

March's "Teaser" & Registrations Open!

This month's colourway is definitely inspired by Spring! It's a softer version of this colour and I hope everyone likes it. This colour is always hard to do as people either love it or hate it - there doesn't seem to be any in between with it...LOL  However, if you don't like socks with it, how about booties or a baby knit or something else entirely? Enjoy and Happy Spring!

Registrations are now open for another 3 and 6 month option beginning with April's shipment. If you are currently a member and are unsure if your term is expiring or not, please don't hesitate to email me to ask. Thank you everyone for your continuing support!

February's "Spoiler"

As you can probably guess, February is Valentine's month so I was totally inspired to do a colourway based on my two favourite things for this month - chocolate and roses. In making a semi-solid to incorporate both these colours, I tried out a new dyeing technique and am quite happy with the results achieved. This technique gives me the opportunity to do a semi-solid with more than one colour tone. Anxious to see how this one knits up for everyone...hope you are enjoying it! The colourway is called "Be Mine" and the base yarn is our Serenity sock yarn made of 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon. Roses & chocolate definitely have to go with cashmere :-)

February's "Teaser"

This month's colourway was a fun one! I got a chance to try out a new dyeing technique and I'm really pleased with the results. The colours I was inspired to do this month are themed on Valentine's Day and combine my favourites for this month - chocolate and roses. It does look like there are many colours in the skein from the teaser but they still are a semi-solid with a play on a few more colours than I usually do. Hope you like it! Everything mails today! :-)

January's "Spoiler"

It was quite fun doing the "teaser" for this month...I giggled the entire time considering the colourway is a grey tone and the teaser had to be grayscale to "mask" the colour a little...LOL I hope everyone is enjoying this month's yarn too - it's a nice true fingering weight that's 4 ply so it'll knit up nicely to make a sock that should be long wearing and hard wearing.

Enjoy!

January's "Teaser"

Happy 2009 everyone! It's so nice to be into a New Year already but I have the hardest time remembering where the time went! Here's this month's colourway teaser in b&w or grayscale as it's the only way I could "mask" the colour without giving it away! LOL

This month's colourway is very gender neutral so if you have the inclination to knit a pair of socks for a man in your life, this colourway would work well! I have also done the colourway on my Sturdy Sock Yarn base which will be hard wearing with it being a mix of superwash merino (75%) and nylon (25%). The yardage is really great on this yarn too! Enjoy!

December's "Spoiler"

Oh green! A perfect colour for the month of Christmas given it's a month full of reds and greens. I decided to dye a saturated green with a bit of tonal change throughougt the colourway. Hope everyone is enjoying this one!

Happy 2009!

December's "Teaser" & Registrations Open

Happy Holidays everyone and see you in the New Year!

November's "Spoiler"

Oh gosh, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed dyeing November's colourway! Anything that neighbours in the vicinity of red makes my heart go pitter patter and this one was no exception! I didn't want something bright orange or bright red so I opted for something right in between. When it was finished drying, it reminded me a lot of red curry spice so that's where it got its name from. I hope everyone is enjoying this colourway!

December's colourway will be in the mail very soon and it's already dry and about ready to be shipped! It's a lovely colourway as well and reminiscent of the season.

Happy knitting everyone!

November's "Teaser"

Here's the teaser for this month with the liquify effect. The base yarn this month is 100% superwash merino (springy & soft) and the colourway is Red Curry for one further hint to the colours of this yarn!

Enjoy everyone - this a very seasonal colourway and I hope you all enjoy it!

October's "Spoiler"

Ah, here she is! A beautifully pink and girly colourway named "It's a Girl"! Quite fitting don't you think? :) I haven't done much of anything in the pink family and I thought this would be nice and cheery for the changing season. Hope everyone likes it! It's almost time for November's shipment!

October's "Teaser"

Here's this month's yarn in teaser format! I found a cool new feature to use which makes the colours look liquefied....pretty cool don't you think? This is definitely a nice girly colour that I hope everyone enjoys! I thought a nice pair of soft socks in this colour to wear to bed would be nice and would match maybe a pair of PJs! This yarn, with the cashmere in it, should be treated a little more softly than the regular wear sock yarns even with the nylon in it. I have visions of soft sockies to wear to bed for the upcoming cool weather! Enjoy everyone!

September's "Spoiler"

Wow, it's almost time for October's colourway so I thought I better post the spoiler for September! How's everyone doing? Hope you're having a great Fall season so far! I know I quite prefer this season just because it's much cooler for me when I'm dyeing the yarn and it's also turning to a season of colours that I just love! Enjoy! This colourway is called Beaujolais :)
