Announcements | March 20, 2008
By Tina

Happy Spring Equinox everyone!!

All International packages left on Monday.

The rest are starting to ship today. We had a bit of a delay, those little magical friends of our were celebrating their heritage pretty hard.

Sorry for the SSSS ( Sockclub shipping stress syndrome).

Yipee! Now all I have to do is get the mittens done so I can be ready for the new project! I can hardly wait!

Yay!! That will be my “consolation prize” since I am not attending camp this year. (Don’t feel too sorry for me though as I will be vacationing in the Caribbean the week before with my family!)

Wah! No Canada Post delivery tomorrow OR Monday. Hopefully I will get it on Tuesday!

I must be mad. Happy isn’t even the right word - it’s more like ecstatic. I am ecstatic with the anticipation of getting a skein of yarn and a few sheets of paper in the mail. I am planning weekend activities so I can be at home when the mail comes. Who would have thought it would come to this, when I started knitting last year? What’s next? Sock camps?

I am SOOO excited! I hope it is pastel/neon rainbow colors. Spring colors for the first full day of spring. Happy Vernal Equinox!

I didn’t even watch the video, but I’ve still got that theme song in my head now. Dagnabbit!Maybe if I start singing the Muppet Mahna Mahna song I can get it out of my head. Heh.

Happy Vernal Equinox & Happy Persian New Year! (Speaking of a riot of colors!)

What the HELL woman. I’m going to DIE knititng this freaking shawl. If you ship today… I’ll get it on TUESDAY. I guess being forced to actually finish a project is a good thing.

k1p1k1p1k1p1k1p1k1p1.

If I finish my shawl before I get my STR I’m casting on for a sock. So there. Stomps Foot.

There are rabbits in the video too. Tina, are you sending us a bunny?

Oh,oh, oh, oh…..I’m so excited!!! I won’t be able to even THINK about work until I get my package!!!!

::::going to stalk the mailman::::

I think we need to compute how many sock shipments can fit into a single mail truck! Can a truck hold all 2000 plus shipments…or with the international shipments on their way, how many does that leave? 1500, 1750? Since there shouldn’t be any notebooks going out this month, that means there’s more room for packages….I seriously doubt Tina’s going to hand deliver all 2000 plus to the post office personally! So if we can compute the # of packages per truck, we can perhaps figure out how many are going out each day…are we anxious?! Are we obsessing?! Heck no….

Tina, so now i know why! While at the movies today with my kids watching Horton Hears a Who, all i could think about was STR and how many skeins it would take for a “Who holder for Horton”!! BTW, that is my official contest entry name…”Who Holder for Horton”. you were sending me vibes girl!!!!!!!!!!!
ps. in a recent search for spring, i may have wound up some Sherbet for a spring scarf!!!Love the colors…almost as much as this morning’s Lucky Charms. Are you sending us the bonus packs of charms!!! lol

Ok, I”m lost, what video? My brains still wrapped around the sock monkeys from madrona.!!

On March 20th, 2008 at 12:42 pm Nartian said:

Am I the only one w/the twisted thought that Tina sent us white yarn w/our own dye packets? No?

In any case, they make Chocolate and Berry Lucky Charms too. Wonders which flavor Cece would like.

I love the mail bag falling over in the video too! Seems perfect for SSSS. Hmmm, that gives me an idea….

Can’t wait! But have to.

On March 20th, 2008 at 2:05 pm KathyBee said:

OOH! Dye- your- own- STR (w/included dye packets!) That would be fun! But wait a second: if I had to choose between making a mess of the yarn (uh, I mean dyeing my own) and having the Good Dyers at Blue Moon dye the yarn… that’d be a no- brainer.

On March 20th, 2008 at 3:20 pm Sandra Watkins said:

I don’t care….all colors…some colors…..but, um
is it HERE yet? ?????

On March 20th, 2008 at 4:14 pm Donna Finneran said:

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm can’t wait!

Wheeeee!!! *zooms around the room* STR is on the way!

On March 20th, 2008 at 5:05 pm jusknittin@aol.com said:

All of this teasing is just not fair!!! I’m gonna hold my breath till this yarn comes if you all don’t stop teasing!! (turning blue!)

On March 20th, 2008 at 5:57 pm Jocelyn said:

Okay I have a majorly dumb question.

Do you consider Canada “international”?

On March 20th, 2008 at 6:07 pm Tina said:

yes we do, it is a USPS thing.

On March 20th, 2008 at 6:07 pm Tina said:

jusknittin, oh honey this is nothing!

On March 20th, 2008 at 7:00 pm Aileen said:

Yeech!!! I went to haunt my po box “just in case”. Irony of ironies. No yarn in the box darn!!! But a VISA bill with a billing for BMFA STR from Madrona.

So the countdown has begun…. will it be here by Saturday so I can spend Easter with some scrumptious yarn????

On March 20th, 2008 at 9:33 pm Leslie said:

ALRIGHT! So our new colorway is “Spring Frosted Rainbow Swirls for Cece”? Or maybe “Cece’s Easteregg Dye Party”? Wow-I don’t think we’ve gotten ‘vibrant’ in our club colorways yet!

On March 21st, 2008 at 5:22 am Cecelia Braun said:

Why do I contiue to come here! It’s just cruel and unusal punishment. I’ve been in this freaking club since the first year, and I STILL get all giddy at shipment day.

Tina has strange powers over me…..

PS. I hate dying yarn. Hate. It. I will bring my ‘dye pack’ to sock camp and sit outside Tina’s room until she dyes it for me if she decided to go that route. ;)

The hummingbirds have arrived at our house..so it must be Spring..So the colors could be green, yellow, or fushia..am I close?
I have tipped of the mail gal, to watch out for STR package..can’t wait…

On March 21st, 2008 at 7:07 am Michelle Rhodes-Gloor said:

is it stalking if I give the mailman chocolate to make my package move faster?

On March 21st, 2008 at 9:25 am JeneaneHirtle said:

I bet we are getting orange - the last one was red and the dyers notes were all about red - so following the rainbow…
Red, Orange, Yellow …..

I woke to SNOW!!!!

Snow on the day after the first day of Spring.

On March 21st, 2008 at 4:20 pm Marcela said:

snow here in Michigan, too. Which is great knitting weather!

On March 22nd, 2008 at 7:17 am Alison said:

I got mine. I am LUCKY–early postal delivery for me. I am all the way in Florida so I many may have a special delivery today I would guess. So beautiful-great pattern. Thanks.

On March 22nd, 2008 at 7:41 am Bea said:

Crap. Mine didn’t arrive today. I guess Illinois mailmen are not as motivated as Florida’s. Oh well I guess it will be here next week. Happy Easter everyone!

On March 22nd, 2008 at 7:41 am COgirl said:

Someone please start a spoiler thread. Mine has to be forwarded and it will be another few days before I’ll know. I WANT TO KNOW!
