The first installment of the sock club yarn is almost all done. Whoo hoo! I was a little worried since this time around I have more than twice the club members than the past two years and I’m getting ready to go on vacation in 2 weeks. Yikes! But it’s almost ready to go out the door and even earlier than I thought. Hopefully Friday or Saturday it will post. I already mailed the international ones since they take longer. I really like this colorway. I worked on it with one of the randomly chosen club members and it’s inspired by a painting by Winslow Homer. Here is a picture of it….
Not! Is it too late for April Fool’s? You should know better than me spoiling the colorway before all of you get it! I took a picture of the yarn because this marks the beginning of my vacation. In the almost 20 years T. and I have been together we have never taken a real vacation. In two weeks we leave to go to Italy for 11 days. I can’t wait. The kids will be staying here with a friend and are slowly getting used to the idea of how this all works. The past two days has been spent playing the “So what time is it there?” game. We have only ever been away for two nights so the girly is a wee bit scared. The boy could care less. They know they can call us or text us and that they will spoiled rotten by all of our friends.
Actually, have any good ideas about what to do for the kids while I’m gone so they don’t miss us too much? Someone told me to get them little presents to open up each day we are gone. Any other ideas? I’ll take them! Definitely a calendar to mark off the days, and I don’t know what else. I would love to have some input!
I just wanted to remind everyone that the shop will still be open while I am gone but nothing will be shipped from May 6th-May19th. The shop is completely stocked with everything right now. If you need/want anything I suggest getting it now! I wanted to remind you that I’m not taking any yarn orders until after June 1st. It will be the longest I will go without dyeing yarn in over 2 years. Kinda crazy.
So cheers my friends! Anyone have any favorite things to do in Rome? Favorite place to eat?? Gelato shops??? Must sees? We’ll be there for two days before we go to where we are staying for a week. But HOORAY! I’m going on a real, adult vacation!!!!
Okay gang….please give us at least 24 hours to work through this. I might be letting in a lot more people than I thought due to the overwhelming response. As soon as we get that hammered out you will receive a Paypal invoice if you are in the club. You then have 24 hours to pay for your slot or yah lose it!
Good luck everyone. I think most of you will be pleasantly surprised.

I am also considering opening up the club to more spots as the response has been HUGE so far.

We have less than a week until the lottery goes up and Adam got the page ready for all of you to bookmark. Here is the page where you go to sign up to get in to the lottery. I am reposting the information to make sure it all makes sense. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I really want to make sure it is very clear. Also? Let your friends know too. I really think this round will be fun with your collaboration with me. (each month one person will be chosen from the membership to help design a colorway for the club that will then become a gallery colorway!)

I’m getting excited for Round III. The Round II people should just be getting their last Indie Swag & Scout’s Swag and it was probably one of my top favorite colorways we’ve done. I can’t wait for them to start sharing their pictures with all of you.
