holy moly woman, that is a long time.

ok, you are going to LOVE this, Cece.

you know I might have to torture you guys a bit. it might make me able to get through this massive to do list for the week.

;P

still trying to remember how to get the smiley faces to show up, duh!

I’m so excited!!! *does the happy dance*…*sits down to wait at the front door for over a week*

On March 11th, 2008 at 7:28 am Sheila said:

I’m hoping for green too - please, please, please be green!

On March 11th, 2008 at 8:30 am Tina said:

Be careful what you ask for. Remember what Kermit the frog says. “It’s not easy being green”

On March 11th, 2008 at 8:35 am Twinkerbell said:

eeee!
Here we go again! Anticipation level rising significantly, can hardly wait!

On March 11th, 2008 at 8:37 am Tina said:

or pink

On March 11th, 2008 at 8:55 am Annette Lemmons said:

I for one will be happy with what ever color comes my way!

On March 11th, 2008 at 9:02 am Angela Aragon-Henslee said:

As long as I get some yarn, then I will be happy.

ACK! Need it now. If it’s pink AND green, I’m just going to fall over dead in excitement. Dead I tell you. Must. Resist. Desire. To. Cast. On. Socks.

Seriously, I’m knitting up Jeanie in some STR lightweight right now, so it’s kind of like I’m knitting socks, in an absolutly NOT like knitting socks sort of way. But I think this is the longest I’ve ever gone without having socks on the needles ever. I don’t even have one in the time out area…. so…. maybe you should just send me mine now now now now now now now now?

On March 11th, 2008 at 9:30 am thingwhatsqueeks said:

Tina you are horrible. I’m going to die. My brain is going to explode and the coroner is going to wonder how to write-up “yarn anticipation” on the certificate.

On March 11th, 2008 at 10:00 am Alice in the Heartland said:

Pink and Green flashback to the age of the preppie! Actually liked that era. Guess its time to get all my solo socks paired up. I just have 5 sitting around waiting fro their mates. This must be how second sock syndrome starts. Too many new projects all at once and you have to start them all or you’ll be behind soooo. 5 lonely socks but at least 2 of them have mates started. Back to knitting and off the computer. Alice

On March 11th, 2008 at 10:14 am Deb said:

I love pink and green too! Seriously love them together! Before I started making socks, i had heard about 2nd sock syndrome so I always make sure I’m working on both socks at the same time–I made sure I’ve got two sets of dpns in all possible sock sizes–ha! So far, so good–I’m really hoping it’s pink and green now…just like Kermit and Piggy! but it will be a lovely treat and i’ll hope mine makes it by the 21st! Just in time for Easter!

On March 11th, 2008 at 11:09 am COgirl said:

I cannot wait. But will have to.

I thought of holding off on starting another pair, but decided I’d better go ahead and I started it yesterday. Now I’ll work on finishing it before the package arrives.

I’ll be happy with whatever color comes my way.

or … acid yellow

doing data entry here

what happens what a create sort is forced to do data entry??

On March 11th, 2008 at 11:42 am Doreen Smith said:

I’m a data entry sort who seriously wishes I were a create sort. So, I just wait for you create sorts to send me stuff in the mail and then I follow your directions!

On March 11th, 2008 at 11:45 am Sheila said:

Oooooooh! Green! Pink! Acid Yellow! How about a little blue and purple????????? It sounds like Kermit’s Rainbow.

“Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it’s probably magic….

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it.
It’s something that I’m supposed to be.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa”

Wouldn’t a Muppet-colored skein be divine?!

On March 11th, 2008 at 12:05 pm Tina said:

Big Bird Yellow

Elmo BLue

Oscar green, oops we have pond scum. Oscar would LOVE pond scum

(hey, back to work!!)

On March 11th, 2008 at 12:15 pm Sandra Watkins said:

Tina….anyone ever tell you that you are a tease?

I don’t care what the colors are, I just can’t wait! I’ve had a blast with this club! I learned some new techniques with the first kit, and can’t wait to try something else that is new!

Um, is it next week yet?

On March 11th, 2008 at 12:15 pm Tan said:

I’m game for acid yellow.

On March 11th, 2008 at 12:55 pm Tina said:

Me, a tease . Noooooo

So, I get like this when I am working too much in areas that are NOT so wonderful for me. I can do it, not a problem but then I get into this thing where I want to cause trouble, mix it up a bit.
Usually I am mixing it up with color and yarn and stitches and stories…

I am glad that you are having fun and learning new things that is what it is all about.

and then there was PURPLE!

On March 11th, 2008 at 1:18 pm Jen G. said:

I tried to make my Serendipities last as long as possible. I stopped carrying them around and only let myself knit on them at work (I answer phones, so if it’s slow I can get a few rounds in between calls. But I could only make them last so long. So now I’m waiting… impatiently. And all this color/kit speculation is going to make me crazy!!!

On March 11th, 2008 at 2:00 pm Cathy-Cate said:

Next week is not so long, hooray!

And I have finished a lot of my to-do knitted projects this last week or two, so I can FINALLY start Serendipity, hooray! Maybe I can even finish before the Cookie Monster Blue/Kermit Green (I like Kermit Green better than Oscar Green myself)/Prairie Dawn Pink/Big Bird Yellow/whatever surprises Tina has cooked up in the dyepots for us, arrives on the doorstep.

On March 11th, 2008 at 2:52 pm Nartian said:

Ahem. Grover is blue. (As is our beloved Cookie Monster.) Elmo is red. Sadly, this fact is imprinted in my toddler mommy brain. ‘Cept which muppet is purple. Hmmm, why is that?

BTW, do I even dare ask if you’re going to warn us which colors you’ll retire for the new stuff? Or do you even want the maelstrom of buyers snagging those colors before the new ones go up.

Nartian
- Lover of Pond Scum and purple. But not necessarily together. Oh, wait. Maybe they can. I should try this w/my eyeshadows and see.

In any case, methinks you need more purple.

On March 11th, 2008 at 2:57 pm adrienne in the bellybutton of california said:

there is a purple muppet: quoted from wiki-pedia

“Mahna Mahna is a purple Muppet with wild, orange hair and a furry, green tunic who is most famous for performing the nonsense song “Mahna Mahna” with the Snowths.”

oh, i would so NOT want that yarn; even if tina dyed it. can you imagine?!

and nartian, you will still remember all the colors of the muppets when your kids are grown. i think i still have a toddler mom mind.

On March 11th, 2008 at 3:08 pm Diane Palme said:

Oh, Tina!

For once, my journeys to the Orient actually COINCIDE with a shipment! New yarn for a trip!

As for your colors - you sound like you’re reading off an egg coloring kit … you’ve not hit blue yet (but you got that last year) or maybe Orange!

On March 11th, 2008 at 3:38 pm Donna Finneran said:

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I can’t wait!!!!

On March 11th, 2008 at 5:54 pm Tina said:

you know I had a feeling I was wrong on the muppet colors

like I said fried brains today

On March 11th, 2008 at 6:00 pm NWBelle said:

Well, there is always Telly Monster for the purple bits.

On March 11th, 2008 at 6:21 pm Melisa Berry said:

OMG now the muppet song is in my head!!! Mahna Mahna ba ba da da da dum ba da da dah Mahna Mahna ba ba dadada dadada dadada dadada da da da da…

On March 11th, 2008 at 6:37 pm Tina said:

all together now and in our socks no less!

On March 11th, 2008 at 7:18 pm Tan said:

Personally, I like purple with Pond Scum.

On March 11th, 2008 at 7:31 pm Tina said:

how about anything with pond scum

I bet you everything goes with pond scum

I challenge you to find a blue moon color that is awful and it has to be awful with pond scum. Oh awful and unanimously so.

might be time for bed!

On March 11th, 2008 at 7:46 pm adrienne in the bellybutton of california said:

yes, tina. go to bed. you have been on a roll ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!

On March 11th, 2008 at 7:47 pm Sheila said:

I agree - anything goes with glorious pond scum!

On March 11th, 2008 at 8:51 pm Alice in the Heartland said:

Isn’t the Count purple? Can’t you just see him counting the colors in a skein of STR? Or the other Sesame Street counting song… six, six, six our number is six how many is six? One two three four five six!….Bed bed I couldn’t go to bed my head’s too light to try and set it down, Sleep sleep I couldn’t go to sleep not for all the jewels in the crown.

On March 11th, 2008 at 8:57 pm Tina said:

Alice you are brilliant! I love this, oh my , the count ….

farmhouse, algae, 24 karat, downpour… goodnight.

I am laughing so hard Alice I can barely breathe.

The visual is just so wonderful!

On March 11th, 2008 at 11:09 pm Sandra Watkins said:

….fried brains and acid yellow….hmmm.

On March 12th, 2008 at 5:11 am Tina said:

Well as much as it pains me to admit this and believe me it does.

Oohh the pain,are you ready? Pond scum does not really go with sherbet and there a a couple others where it might work,but it would probably do permanent damage to your eyes.

sigh

On March 12th, 2008 at 5:26 am Nartian said:

Oh, I don’t know about that. I bet if we add another “awful” color to Pond Scum & Sherbet it’ll be jammin! Hey, maybe some…purple?!? Hee!

Oh, Telly! Telly’s purple-ish! A little more pinky-red, but purple nonetheless. How could I forget him?!?

Okay, off to get ready this morning while humming mahna mahna…

On March 12th, 2008 at 6:03 am Cecelia Braun said:

Damn. I know I’m going to love this colorway!!!! SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

On March 12th, 2008 at 6:25 am Tina said:

and I also KNOW you are going to love this color.

I mean roll on floor LOVE this color, Cece!

ok, I should stop…

On March 12th, 2008 at 9:01 am Angelia said:

It’s just wrong - the teasing that’s going on! Now we’re all going to be stalking our mail carriers. Those poor people (well, most of them) have no clue that they’re about to be stalked.

Next week??? That’s too long! I can’t wait! After all, it IS my birthday Rockin Sock Club shipment…

On March 12th, 2008 at 10:03 am Marcy aka knittinggolfer said:

Man, that’s alot of chatter. Tina, i thought you were busy… doing something besides stirring up our insides with color visions that make our knights sleepless! the funny thing about all this muppet chatter is that on monday, i just rewrote Oscar’s (remember…sort of pond-scummy green trash can puppet) sond “i love trash”. My version is called “I LOVE YARN”!!!!!
thanks for all the fun tina!
ps. pinkpurplegreen!? did i mention i love pink???

On March 12th, 2008 at 10:45 am Deb said:

Why do I suddenly have this feeling that Tina’s just been looking at the egg coloring kit that just happens to be on her desk (and which someone else mentioned) and decided to just throw out the colors in it bit by bit to throw us off the trail?! She’s probably sitting there tee-heeing away because she knows it has absolutely nothing to do with this month’s yarn???? Hmmmm. Although Cece may hold the key since she’s going to be rolling on the floor loving this color according to Tina–could be a major clue, eh?

On March 12th, 2008 at 10:59 am Amanda said:

How about ALL the colors Tina’s mentioned? THAT would be fun! I’m feeling green for some reason - St. Pat’s, maybe?

I’m just excited about SEEING it, whatever it is.

On March 12th, 2008 at 1:13 pm Leslie said:

Well, based on all the STR Mill Ends Cece was grabbing up last year at camp, I am wondering if I may have an idea what this one looks like…CLEAR COLORS…Neon-ish?…?

And I think Pond Scum would be AWESOME with an awesome PURPLE! Maybe not so much with a Lavendar, but who knows…

On March 12th, 2008 at 2:37 pm Tina said:

Marcy I need to hear this song or at least see the words to your version.

how funny

we love making our favorite songs yarn friendly. The current is Robert Palmer”s Addicted to … Yarn (love) It’s pretty funny, especially when we do it.

On March 12th, 2008 at 5:52 pm Aileen said:

Easter egg colors, perhaps. Sounds good to me. Had a vision of easter egg colors on the MAX ride home from work and tried to imagine the pattern. Coule it possibly be toe up???? Can hardly wait to next week. Think I will be haunting my PO box daily!!!
I’ve had to resort to lace to keep the anticipation under control….
Purple. Purple. Purple……

On March 12th, 2008 at 6:31 pm Cecelia Braun said:

WOOT! Super duper excited now. If I’m going to love it - you are going to see these socks in the dark. Happy bouncing off the wall colors! Yipppppeeeeeeee!!!!!

On March 12th, 2008 at 7:38 pm Tina said:

So please remember all the love for your dyer when your kit shows up and it seems that I might (maybe/maybe not) have led you down the garden path.

I’m just saying… no color promises here.

We should play a game/contest.

Keep us “all” occupied.

On March 12th, 2008 at 10:35 pm IrishgirlieKnits said:

A game sounds fabulous Tina!!

Oh, and can we get a YouTube clip of you and the sockateers singing “Addicted to Yarn!” pretty please

Wait, that would be a fun contest….song lyrics for our STR!

On March 13th, 2008 at 4:53 am Tina said:

I agree it soooo would. There are so many sons that with a wee bit of a tweek viola!

It would be a great contest. hmmmm

We will work on that youtube.

On March 13th, 2008 at 5:49 am Virginia G said:

Can they be a glow in the dark color and really make our feet stand out.

On March 13th, 2008 at 7:56 am Angela said:

Need to see my knitting teenagers singing, “Can’t Knit This” (Can’t Touch This by MCHammer). Hysterical….if only I knew how to do youtube…well, and if they could sing…

As for colors…any are fine. Someone in this house will love it….!

On March 13th, 2008 at 12:32 pm LBinVA said:

OMG! Look what I’ve been missing since the puppy trampled into my life! Is there anyone out there who can come over and entertain her while I catch up with all the postings?

I want glow-under-my-black-light colors!!!

Know what else glows under the black light?
Anyone with a new puppy will know that answer!

On March 13th, 2008 at 1:07 pm Twinkerbell said:

LBinVA-

I totally hear you! I got a puppy in the last month too, I’m pretty behind on a lot lol.

I’m not sure I’ve tested using a black light whenever there’s a new puppy around, but I’m sure I can guess ;).

On March 13th, 2008 at 2:23 pm Tan said:

Black light testing? L-B! I know what it is, I know what it is! I hope you are not having a lot of carpet lighting up, though. I’m sure Rose is being an ultra-good girl.

On March 13th, 2008 at 8:28 pm KnittingSarah said:

Blacklight yarn?? Is that possible?

My 14 year old niece would love it. Hell, I would love it.

On March 14th, 2008 at 5:50 am Tina said:

Black light is on it’s way!

On March 16th, 2008 at 7:16 am LBinVA said:

I hope it glows prettier colors than what I’m getting from puppy-Rose!

By the way, Rose is a perfect match to Pink Granite!

On March 19th, 2008 at 6:50 am COgirl said:

Ok, it’s now March 19. Where is the March package? You did say the packages would go out this week. I interpret that to mean that it will be in my hot little hands some time this week. You are such a tease! I’ve been timing the other sock I’m knitting so that “the end” coincides with the beginning of the the next.
