Buzzing in my head....
Some days my brain is a wasteland and on other days it's buzzing with ideas. Today is a buzzing day. My friend, Joan, was in the shop this morning and we got to talking about "of the month clubs". By that I mean, book of the month, fruit of the month, record of the month (OK, maybe I'm dating myself here)...anyway, you get the idea. So now I'm pondering the possibilities of a yarn of the month club. It will change every month but it will be some of my hand painted yarn each time. One month it will be a certain colorway of sock yarn, the next time a worsted weight, the next time some alpaca, etc. Sometimes it may include a pattern to go along with the yarn, sometimes not. There may be other surprises thrown in too. You never know. That's the great thing about something like this. It can evolve and morph and grow into something completely different. It will be posted on my website's Feature of the month page, monthly email newsletter, the Purple Fleece group on Ravelry, and the Purple Fleece fan page on Facebook. I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and comments as I tweak the details. This will all start in September so stay tuned and get your knitting needles warmed up!

very cool idea! love the yarn including a pattern too. I tend to buy yarns from the same color palette - good way to "spin" the colorwheel.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! A way to be surprised and inspired each month.
ReplyDeleteWill this be an 'in the mail' club, or do we pick it up at the shop? Love the idea. Do we sign up 3 months at at time? 6? 12? I'm ready!
ReplyDeleteYes, it will be an "in the mail" club. That way people can participate from all over the US. You'll need to subscribe but you can opt out at any time....but I hope you won't!
