Oh this will be a ramble so just hang in there okay? Let’s see. First of all, I’m going to give a little fake peek to the Indie Swag Club members. Just like last time, these are NOT the colors of the yarn but I wanted to tease you a little bit before you get your packages. They will probably go out on Thursday. I finished the dyeing and now they just need to dry, be labeled and packaged up with the swag. It’s fun messing the colors up on the yarn to conceal it’s identity! And I know, doesn’t the imposter look pretty!?
I don’t feel like it’s spoiling it to tell you a little bit about this months swag. Because hey, it’s my club and I can do what I want right!? (Didn’t I say this with month 1? ha!) This month’s swag has been almost a year in the making. Seriously. It is a pattern by Cookie A. Yes. You read that right. Cookie A. THE Cookie A. Pomatomus Cookie. Monkey Cookie. Are you with me now?!?! And, it’s amazing. Ohhhhhh just wait. She also designed the colorway that goes with the pattern. You can’t really tell but it’s a semi-solid that doesn’t look anything like the one above. It’s gorgeous. I’ll shut up now. But really!!! I’ll show the yarn and the pattern next week once everyone has received it. Patience my dearies.
Within the next two weeks Scout’s Swag will be completely restocked. Pretty much everything that is low or sold out right now should be up in the shop between June 28th & July 10th or so. Even the Haiku Bags! In a few days I will also show you a few new things I’m thinking of getting and I’d like your feedback. If you are not signed up for the newsletter at the shop, and want to be among the first to know when the shop is stocked, go sign up as a customer. I don’t send many emails but I do send them to my customers first. I will also be taking yarn orders again after July 1st and adding a few new colorways to the gallery too.
Finally, I wanted to give a shout-out to a new podcast I finally got to listen to today. Have you checked out Knitters Uncensored? Click the link. I will wait. Okay. Did you go? Download their podcast/s. I listened to all three episodes today while dyeing and I absolutely loved listening to them. They are funny, and Elemm’s accent is to die for! I have to say that I like a podcast that actually talks about other things than yarn. I mean, they talk about knitting, don’t get me wrong! But there’s other stuff too. I know that everyone looks for different things in a podcast but if you’re looking for a new fun one, definitely check them out. The other two podcasters are Ms. B/Bockstark Knits and Cashyie/Cashmacrylic. They all live in Germany now even though none of them are from there. Just go listen. I’m not telling you anything else! Many of you probably know of them already but I thought they deserved a mention from me since they kept me company while I dyed today. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them and can’t wait to hear the next one. Hurry up you guys! You hear me?
I’m totally fried. I think I need a beer. Peace OUT!

Woo hoo! I can’t wait to get my swag. I am a serious Cookie A. stalker and can’t wait to see what she’s come up with for us!
Wow, a CookieA pattern? Lucky Swagsters!! Although it IS a shame that the colors aren’t as pictured above.
Hey Scout I can’t seem to get on your shops website…Any thoughts? I’m anxiously awaitng the Haiku bags!!!
but, i LIKE the purple!! I’m so envious of the club members.
Sweet! So glad I got into June’s round, I love Cookie’s patterns! (is it a new one, or one of her other patterns?)
Liz - a brand new pattern! Exclusive to the club for now. All patterns for the club will eventually be released though. So for those of you not in the club you will be able to get it at some point in the future!
The fabulous sock designing Cookie A.?
How cool!
Love semi-solids.
Love Cookie.
Love Elemm and KU (even though he said I have the clap).
Love beer.
Most of all, love you.
I may be the only knitter in the world not to have knit a Cookie A. pattern yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing this one.
Time for a break. Put down the camera. Put down the yarn. Put down the beer. Well, OK finish the beer. Put your feet up and relax. See how nice that is?
Honest to Bob, I just redid my streak today, and it’s the shade of purple in the yarn above.
can’t believe you have a new cookie pattern! how lucky the indie swaggers are!!! the purple is just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Thanks for mentioning the KU!!! And I’m jealous of club members!
Ah…and yes, hizKNITs got the Clap! *LOL* Luv him nevertheless. :-p
I cannot wait to get this yarn and pattern - I’d take either of the spoilers too thank you!
*takes a deep breath*
But I like the purple….. But I can’t wait to see what the real color turns out to be. And the pattern should be very interesting. Go enjoy your beer or two.
You’ve had such great Indie swag this year…I wish I’d been able to join!
WOW. How AWESOME! Can’t wait to see it - sounds like you’ve been a busy bee!
Any openings for the club?
Yay! This looks awesome and now I have something to look forward to this
weekend—Super duper Awesome!
Sigh….I too am envious of the club members…. What an enticing spoiler (:-)
*Goes off to stalk the mail carrier*
Yay! I’m so excited. Gee, I better finish off my secon Monkey and Twisted Flower socks.
Oh, to be a member…..someday! Love the color tease!! You’re killin me here! Can’t wait to check out the new podcasts–thanks for the heads up. No time for me to find them w/my busy kiddos! Gin & Tonic for me this summer! Enjoy the good stuff and keep the teasers coming!
Mmmmpretty! It’s terribly sneaky of you to change the colors on us. Might be a way to come up with some new colorways…? I love Cookie A. She rocks hardcore.
I love your altered colorways as much as the real pictures.
Ok so apparently I have been hiding under a rock somewhere….or perhaps on a rock, seeings that I live on an island, but I digress!!! I want some of your lovelys!!! I hadn’t heard of your yummystuff and came cross it quite by accident and then fell in love with your brown and pink colorway….yummy I hope to remeber to check in and see our delish stuff!
I got mine, you are such a tease!!! I love the color and the pattern. I won’t post it on
my blog until next week as I know I’m usually the first to get it. I’m checking out Knitters Uncensored,
right now I’m addicted to Katia and Kyliemac
I got mine today! The colors are awesome! From what I can see, the pattern looks really pretty. I’ll keep my eye out for when you get the lighter picture out.
Just got mine! Gorgeous.
I LOVE IT! The yarn is gorgeous and I can’t wait to get started on Cookie’s pattern. You two make a great team. Thanks!!
