So…..Long time no talk! I have been quite busy, just with some unusual out of the blue eye trauma drama!
I am the queen of bad jokes about it, and well, that was a little taste…
So….without futher ado, your new “fiber colorist”

Sneak Peek: What’s Coming Soon

Becky and I have been working as a team to design (me) and dye (Becky) yarn and a pair of socks for the Yarn4Socks June sock club shipment.

I’m very happy to bring you a sneak peak of what’s to come in the Yarn4Socks club shipment. Becky has selected her luxuriously soft technicolor smoosh toes base (75% superwash extrafine merino, 25% nylon) and has dyed it in a beautiful semi-solid red-orange. The color is called Pa Hoe Hoe Flow, after a particular type of lava flow that occurs in Hawaii. Check it out:

Amazing, right? Becky and her beautiful world of colors never cease to amaze me. When I received the yarn, I kind of stared at it for a few days. I left it out on my desk, so I would always notice it. So many things sprang to mind when the package arrived, I wasn’t sure what type of design I wanted.

Ultimately, I decided I wanted a pattern that would flow down the sock, much like the lava the color was named after. I added a few yarn overs to make it fancy, and some twisted ribbing to allow for some stretch and intricate details, and voila. The design features a patterned toe and heel as well. I am proud to present a sneak preview of “Hey Jupiter”, the Yarn4Socks June club sock pattern:

Have we caught your attention? I should hope so! There are more pictures of the Hey Jupiter sock up on my blog.

Be sure to hit up Yarn4Socks before it’s too late! The June club is $35, including shipping.

Getting better!

Hey everyone, Liz here again with an update on Becky’s status. She had her surgery on the 13th, and she’s recovering well. She’s taking a bit of a break from the computer, but I know she can feel all of your well wishes and thoughtful words!

Thanks for being so patient with everything. I know Becky really appreciates it!

If you are a member of the fiber or sock clubs, Becky is planning on doing either a double shipment in May, or a triple shipment in June, depending on her health. Either myself or Becky will be keeping you posted!

Quick announcement: a little break

Liz Abinante — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:04:52 +0000

Hi all! Becky wanted to let you guys know that she has some emergency medical issues she needs to sort out. She’s meeting with a doctor right now, so here’s hoping everything is ok. Please send along your best wishes and keep her in your thoughts!

If you’ve placed an order through Becky’s etsy shop recently, please accept our apologies and know that Becky will get your order out as soon as possible. We apologize for the delay in shipping, but these things do happen.

A little of this, a little of that…

Surprise! I will be at the pots all week, the tooth is better, thank you all for the well wishes, but I think my pain meds might have increased the ADD hidden within me, these colorways are ALL OVER THE PLACE. I have dyed 3 collections, and the completed ones are here… More to come later, but these are it for now. Please note, I have only 5 of each, so the supply is very limited at the moment. If there is a colorway and a base you would like to have, please let me know asap, I will not be able to dye these again for a while, and the easter ones will not be repeated this year, thanks!

a quicky update on the fiber status

The batch of fiber from yesterday is going super quick! I am glad you love it as much as I do….This is the totals for the remaining fiber choices, so if you want it, please email me! It looks as though I have a couple of older updates headed into the etsy shop this evening, I had a couple of repeat dyes to do, and did some extra!
