New Sock Yarn at Eat Sleep Knit!

Hello! August was a crazy month of family commitments and travel so things were quiet in the studio for a while.

I also had some trouble with my equipment so we had to make some of our own. The good news is now I can sell our own handmade digital rotation counters at the Etsy shop too! It's digital, not mechanical so there's no 'click click click' to drive you crazy. It can count up to 999 rotations, has a convenient little reset button and comes with its own screws, stickers, and a clip for attaching to the skeinwinder! Let me know if you want to reserve one!

I finally got a bunch of fingering weight sock yarn sent to Eat Sleep Knit last week and it's up in her shop now!



1. Painted Horses (8 skeins)
2. Maple ( 7 skeins)
3. Goldenrod (1 skein)
4. Juicy (8 skeins)
5. Sour Candy Rock (7 skeins)
6. Mardi Gras (8 skeins)
7. Silverleaf (8 skeins)
8. Blue Corn (8 skeins)

I have two seconds from that batch (one goldenrod, one maple) with too many knots I'll put up in my shop and I have Thirty three skeins of gems fingering weight ready to photograph and list anytime now! So keep an eye out for that!

And I have a bunch of roving to process and braid! Whew!

Motivation

Everyone needs it. I've sent along some motivation for the Yarnathoners at Eat. Sleep. Knit. today.



This is a special sock yarn color for Yarnathon Members only for reaching (I think it's) the 20 mile mark!

Also, my handdyed Aran weight yarn is a power boost yarn this month! So that yarn's yardage gets counted an extra 50% too!

Go Yarnathoners go!

Annetrelac Socks in Eat. Sleep. Knit yarn

I had a few leftover skeins of the fingering weight yarn I dyed in the Eat. Sleep. Knit colorway. They had too many knots to put up for sale with a good conscience. I allow *at most* 2 knots any more than that and it's to the cheap sale page for that yarn.

So I took one skein and started on a sock while I was flying to visit my parents in Birmingham. It's the new Annetrelac Pattern from Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2007 special. I thought the ESK yarn varigations would be perfect with the entrelac!



It's weird doing one sock at a time again (I've been a 2 on 2 or 2 on 1 girl for a while now) but I didn't have the guts to try entrelac for the first time while using 2 circulars doing 2 socks at the same time! Eek!



If you're on ravelry you can look the project up here. If you'd like to buy the pattern directly from Interweave Knits you can do so by going here.

You'll find out what I did with one of the other leftover skeins soon :)

Eat Sleep Knit has fingering weight sock yarn!

I shipped a giganto box of superwash fingering weight sock yarn to Erin at Eat Sleep Knit the day before I flew to visit my parents for the holidays. Each color has at least 2 skeins I think and the special eat sleep knit color has 10 skeins available. They're selling pretty quickly too which makes me very happy :)



I'm still catching up from the holiday vacation, have a few custom orders that came in while I was away and of course I have the sport weight sock yarn order to fill for Eat Sleep Knit!

Let's all thank Santa for the lovely electric skeinwinder and new digital camera! They'll make my life a lot easier this year!

Eat Sleep Knit aran weight yarns are in stock!

My yarn arrived in Atlanta yesterday and wow Erin already has them all photographed and listed!



She also wrote a very nice blog post about it.



I'm just giddy with excitement (I really am!) about all the big moves my Noodles have been making lately!

I'm already slaving away on the fingering weight yarn for the December shipment. Skeining 50 440 yard skeins is no small task. Maybe Santa will bring me an Electric Skeinwinder for Christmas?

Eat Sleep Knit

I was approached by Erin of Eat Sleep Knit about selling my yarn on her website! So I dyed up some Aran weight skeins just for her. I'm mailing these 30 out in the morning.



I also have some fingering weight sock yarn and about five pounds of roving to add to my Etsy shop this weekend. Photos of those to follow!
