I’ll probably get mine in a day or two, it’s domestic. And then another 4-5 days for it to reach Dubai.

I just received an e-mail with a tracking number so I know my yarn and patters are on the way to me in CT. I can’t wait to see what’s inside!

I had a parcel pick up notice in my box on Saturday. Hoping it is the RSC package, but won’t know ’til Monday when they open again.

Also received an e-mail from USPS with a tracking number and info that it was shipped 1/23. Waiting with excitement in suburban Philadelphia.

Calm down my beating heart. . .

No signs of anything here in Colorado. I’ll wait.

And how are you getting tracking notices? I want one of those too.

On January 25th, 2009 at 9:43 pm Tina said:

When we print the shipping labels you are sent a shipping notice with a tracking number. This is how we have wanted it to work and ( knock on wood) now it does. This is true for the domestic packages. It is a different system for the Canadian and International packages.
As I said above we printed 400 on Friday those of you that received notices are part of that 400. The rest will happen Monday and Tuesday.
We never ever ship all the packages in the same day. Just not physically possible.

On January 26th, 2009 at 5:19 am Sarah said:

400? How many NSKs are there? No kidding it is not physically possible. I have to send a birthday present and card today and have to plan my whole schedule around the post office. I surely can appreciate all your hard work. I can’t wait to see a notice for me! Whoooeeeee.

On January 26th, 2009 at 5:58 am Tina said:

By the time all is said and done there will be around 2000

On January 26th, 2009 at 6:24 am kaystir said:

OMG! 200? Does that mean we are the biggest sock club out there? Wow - you guy are awesome. I mean you must have expanded your numbers so that no one was left out.
I just tracked my package and it was in NY on Friday! I think that mean that since it didn’t come on Sat - I will have it on Monday.
I am a first time member - and have NO idea what I am in for.

According to USPS tracking, my package is On The Truck, and should be delivered here (just outside Washington DC) today! WooHoo!!

Guess what??

I have a package sitting on the front seat of hubby’s car, en route to my greedy hands, just 2 miles up the road. And guess who it’s from!

My kit left NJ today…it made it across the country, now it just has to make it across the pond and I’ll make a special trip to pick it up. The USPS tracking is brilliant.

Thanks for all your hard work. 2000 kits…mind boggling. Great job one and all.

YYYYyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Got it! Super surprised, considering I’m on Martha’s Vineyard- the island the USPS forgot! I’m getting all of my back ordered yarn at the same time, too! I’m dizzy with projects… thank god the tourists are gone and I can get to them! Knittah, please!

It’s heeeere! Tina, my fiance got me the club as a gift this year, and I think things are going to his email account (I think this because I had to use his email as my log in for the blog, and also because I did not get a shipping notice) I’ve changed as many things in my profile as I could, but is there a way to make sure that things go to my email instead of his?

Thank you!

PS: ZOMG first year in the club and it’s SO GOOD.

I’m in Missouri with a tracking number and an ice storm. I’m hoping I get mine this week and the weather doesn’t bog everything down. I’m anxiously awaiting so I can get started after reading all the exciting notes and being a newbie. I can’t wait to see what is in the package.

On January 26th, 2009 at 2:05 pm Deb said:

Has anyone in the NW gotten a tracking number/confirmation email yet?! I figure it will be tomorrow though! The “ONLY” downside to living closer to Tina is usually being the last to ship since ours will arrive the fastest!!

On January 26th, 2009 at 2:10 pm Carol Hoover said:

I’m in Southern California and I just got my confirmation email. Yeah!

On January 26th, 2009 at 2:15 pm Diane Palme said:

I’ve got a tracking number, too (Bay Area, FWIW). Tina and crew have finely honed their skills over the past two years - I plan an overseas flight and the package shows up the week before. Time for me to fondle, wind and get going just as I’m getting on the airplane.

(something tells me they are BLUE!)

I received my package today and I am thrilled with all of it. The color is gorgeous and it has some new techniques I haven’t tried before. Can’t wait to get started.

On January 26th, 2009 at 2:48 pm Melissa said:

I just checked tracking, and mine is also waiting for me in northern Virginia! Pity I’m here at work in western Maryland for another hour-plus.

I finished my Cleopatra’s Stockings and have my first Cloning Anemone Rib nearly complete. I wound my yarn for Gumdrops and Holidazed last night. I WILL finish the 2008 socks!

Let me send an enormous “Thank you!” to the Blue Moon ladies. As I mentioned in a comment on another post, I had forgotten to renew my membership and was worried about signing up in time to get the first shipment when it went out. I zipped over to the BMFA site and filled out the form lickety-split. Well under an hour later, I had confirmation of my order, notification that my order was charged, AND my USPS tracking information.

Talk about fantastic customer service!! Truly, this is why I keep coming back for clubs and yarn orders. I love shopping from indie vendors like BMFA, especially when they treat me so well. Tina, you and your bunch are great.

On January 26th, 2009 at 3:54 pm Amy L Fowler said:

Well I cast on my first Holidazed sock on Saturday in a race against the initial 2009 shipment I knew was coming soon. Could I do it? Let’s play “Beat that Package!”!

Got the tracking number e-mail today (Bainbridge Island, WA), so I know the new package will arrive before I can possibly finish Holidazed.

Now, do I open the package upon arrival or wait until 2008’s last kit is off the needles for that sweet, sweet reward?

On January 26th, 2009 at 6:41 pm Knitter Kitter said:

I got mine in NY today as well, and I absolutely LOVE the colorway! I’m a little intimidated by the “extra” part of the pattern as I have never used those sort of “extras” in a pattern before. I don’t want to say too much and spoil things for anyone who hasn’t gotten theirs yet I look forward to pushing myself to try new things with this pattern!

What a great way to start off the new year! Thank you Tina and the Blue Moon Team!!!

Mayday!!! Can’t get the darn *thingies* on the yarn! Is a dental floss threader so much smaller than a very very small needle? I’m dying, need to knit these now!!! Please, please help!!!

On January 27th, 2009 at 5:23 am Barbara A Childress said:

Oh my, oh my, OH MY! It arrived yesterday and I couldn’t take the time to post - had to start CO immediately. What a glorious colorway! And it’s tax season and I’m an accountant (with my own business). How am I supposed to set my priorities with this luscious kit in front of me - and W-2s to produce? A little less sleep should make for a little more sock time. As a first-timer, thank you soooooooooooo much.

On January 27th, 2009 at 5:28 am Christine Norton said:

Received mine in Gainesville, VA yesterday - the entire package is amazing. Lots of comments already on the colorway - but all of the little extras in the package are so, so exciting too! Can’t wait to start knitting these - trying to finish a lace scarf that seemingly will never, ever, EVER end!

I got mine yesterday!! WOW!!!! This club package appealed to me on so many levels — the color is perfectly gorgeous (this Pisces could absolutely swim in it), the pattern with beads (love the ones I received) just makes my heart sing, and I get to combine the hobbies I’m most passionate about (knitting and scrapbooking). I have fallen in love with blue again. I couldn’t be happier. THANK YOU, Tina and everyone else who had a role in putting this club package together.

On January 27th, 2009 at 7:56 am Diana said:

Got mine yesterday. Have the beads on. Trying to decide if the fancy cast on is necessary. Any other photos of the top of the sock?

I received “Singing the Blues” yesterday, and my husband remarked that he had not seen me so happy, smiling so much, for months. What a wonderful package! The yarn is delectable, I am sure that I lucked into the most beautiful color in beads, and the accompanying information and pattern wis lavish, interesting, and clear. I actually put the materials into the suggested binder immediately, and read every word.

I am planning to try these socks on two circulars, and knit two at a time. I have not mastered the magic loop yet, but I usually use two circulars per sock — I will try 2 for 2 this time.

I am floating all over the building now…just waiting to go home and see my new treasure!!!! I know that I will love it! I love blue and I love beads…I can’t wait to see that it’s blue w/beads…but even if it’s not, I will still love it. The cars better clear the roads cause I’m flying.

I got mine yesterday afternoon. I have almost finished my toes (I am a toe-up knitter) last night and hopefully will be well into the foot by bedtime tonight. I already plan on ordering three more skeins so I can knit cooool jazzy socks for family and friends.

Got mine last night, but didn’t have a chance to post until today. The pattern, colorway, yarn…well everything really is amazing. I have mine wound into a ball and hope to start knitting tomorrow. Can’t wait. If only I didn’t have a pesky job…and the child, well he thinks he should eat every day! LOL

Augh!! I am here in chilly Ottawa Canada with not a strand of sock yarn in sight, and I really need a nice new pair of warm socks. Le sigh… Hopefully my mailbox will be full tomorrow. A little (paranoid) part of me worries though that somebody at the customs office or the post office saw the package and couldn’t resist, and decided to confiscate it. Eek! Please arrive soon little yarn package and stop these horrible nightmares!

On January 27th, 2009 at 6:05 pm Mary said:

Sniff, sniff. I’m on the other side of Oregon and the package is in Portland and it’s snowing, so the pass might close as it has a couple times this winter. Oh, the anticipation! ;o) If all goes well with the USPS (gone are the days of neither sleet nor snow nor dead of night), I should have it in my crafty little hands tomorrow! Just in time for me to have something fun to knit at my daughter’s volleyball tournament this weekend. Of course, I’ll be watching her play, but there will be plenty of time in between matches and it’s a two day tourney! This is my first time with this sock club and I’m really excited!

Notorious Sock Knitters | January 27, 2009
By Lulynn L. Foster

I am new to the RSC this year! I am so excited- I received my tracking number yesterday- I live in Texas- sooo maybe by the end of the week it will arrive.

According to USPS, mine left Portland today. I’m in SoCal, so hopefully not much longer to wait! I’m so excited! Of course, the hardest part is trying to get USPS to actually deliver it from the post office to my house. Will they leave it? Probably not. Will it actually be at the post office when I try to pick it up like they want me to? Ahhh, the never-ending mysteries of the postal service.

Received confirmation, package is about 50 miles away, should be here (Michigan) tomorrow…can’t wait!!!!

On January 27th, 2009 at 11:08 pm Chris said:

Woo hoo… pleasantly surprised that my sock package was delivered yesterday! I’m a first timer and since I’m in Australia I didn’t expect to see it for a while. Glad to know I won’t be too far behind
I must say it is a bit daunting beginning a knitting project in 33 degree heat (that would be about 92 degrees F), but I will not be deterred. Rock on.

OK, so I broke 3 needles and many a strand of embroidary floss… and nearly all my fingernails… getting the *thingies* (I know, it’s already been said- but…) on the yarn, my fingers are yarn burnt, I ended up using my teeth- flossing will be interesting tonight- It was not fun, it was tedious in an unpleasant way, it was a might painfull…but I am working the first heel flap now!!! Any my boyfriend is bugging me to put them down and work on his sweater… bah! The unpleasantries are behind me, the work has become blissful. I really like the decorative stitching, a little different from what I’ve done before. EASIER! There are a few things in my life… eating boiled peanuts, reading trashy mystery novels, knitting fun patterns… that turn my mind into mush. I’m practically rocking back and forth, humming nondescriptly, going and going. That’s what this is like. Brain massage. Thank you!

I’m in Maryland and I got mine Monday before the snow and ice started here. I’m a first time member and this is great. I can’t wait to start them, but I need to finish my fiance’s socks that I’m doing in Stormy Weather. (They are very cool looking.) Just started the toe decreases last night on sock #2 so it won’t be long.

I’m in Calgary too. I haven’t checked my mailbox yet. Can’t wait!

On January 28th, 2009 at 10:42 am LBinVA said:

I was reflecting on the energy of the first club yarn for 2009 and thought about the Blue Chakra that reflects communication and how we form a bridge between our self and the world around us. And upon the Indigo Chakra, focusing on imagination and dreams. How wonderful that Tina began our year with Blues, created from her dreams and imagination , reaching out to all of us and surrounding us with her tremendous vision.

On January 28th, 2009 at 2:19 pm Alice in the Heartland said:

Not here yet but that’s ok as it’s giving me time to get Holidazed finished. Maybe tomorrow. I did get my shipping info but the USPS site isn’t cooperating with me so I have no idea where my lovely package is. Back to my knitting.

On January 28th, 2009 at 2:32 pm Marilyn said:

Definitely not the first but…I got my package today! Even with the snow the mail lady delivered! Wow! My favorite colors! Awesome pattern. Can’t wait to start, but I did commit to finishing that other sock…

Got my very first RSC package today. Of course, just this morning I cast on a pair of socks. The wait was killing me and I knew if I cast on something else, the Blue Moon package would get here.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to do the pattern on two circs. Anybody try it yet? I’m so excited!!!!!!

NE was closed down today due to snow and ice. I spent the day working my sock and am delighted with it. Hubby surprised me - he saw me struggling to get the “thingies” on the yarn, so while I was out last night he had it all done when I came home. I did use the tubular cast on and I love the stretchiness it creates. My socks tend to be tight at the cast on. This is my first time working with “thingies” and I can’t believe how neatly they go on. I’m so glad I joined!!

On January 28th, 2009 at 7:31 pm Otter said:

My package came today! What beauty, and I love the “thingies”. Thanks for another wonderful sock.

UH OH! My package got to Elk Grove IL last night then to Elmhurst IL this AM (closer) but now is back in Elk Grove again. Well it looks like it won’t get here tomorrow. I just hope it heads back in the right direction. I might be the last otherwise! I’ll have to keep working on my sweater.

I got mine today in Edinburgh in Scotland. I absolutely love the colours - totally colours I wear, so I’m thrilled to bits. And looking forward to my first time knitting with ‘thingies’

On January 29th, 2009 at 8:29 am Lynn Majidimehr said:

My package with the gorgeous yarn arrived yesterday! I love the color, but had a bit of trouble getting the beads on. I ended up resorting to using a length of beading thread tied to a smaller needle at one end, and tied to the yarn with a slip knot that tightened when pulled at the other. Once I got the first few onto the yarn it wend more smoothly, other than a few beads with smaller holes that broke the thread, and made me re-tie it. Now I’m off to find out how to do the tubular cast on, so I can get started

On January 29th, 2009 at 8:41 am Joan said:

I got mine yesterday in Sandpoint,ID. Love the color and can’t wait to work with beads. New techniques for me to learn, too. I have admired Sivia’s earlier RSC pattern since joining last year. What colors. Thanks Tina for slushing through the snow for us.

On January 29th, 2009 at 8:45 am Wildaisy said:

I received my kit yesterday afternoon, in Winter Springs, a suburb of Orlando, Florida. It is my first kit, and I am so excited! The yarn is gorgeous and I’m convinced the beads I received must the prettiest (maybe they’re ALL the this way?).

By Yvonne M Downing

My kit arrived today; I’m in Louisiana. I’ve never done beading before and I’m so excited. I immediately made a trip to the drugstore for floss threaders. TEDIOUS!!!!! I got better as I went along, but I broke four threaders on the 150 beads. I’m ready to go. Thanks for such a beautiful color!

Hi Yvonne: I found that the tip to use nail polish on the end of the yarn worked out very well (once I got the hang of it) plus tweezers. IT still took awhile to put on all the beads and it was a help knowing which was my working yarn (the one with the nail polish) when I took out the tubular cast on. Ginni

On January 29th, 2009 at 9:40 am Audrey Abbott said:

It’s here, it’s luscious and I had to leave it to go to work yesterday evening. Today I wind the yarn and perhaps start loading beads. I want them clear down my foot. THEN, I’ll find shoes that let me wear them It’s just so hard to put down Lenore. I’m knitting her to commemorate the 200th birthday of EAPoe.

Notorious Sock Knitters | January 29, 2009
By Nancy Wagner

I got my package and am totally blown away by the yarn, the pattern, the beads, the meditation starter on “blue”. However, I am so totally in awe of the stuff that I’m afraid to knit with it.

On January 29th, 2009 at 1:35 pm Dawn Draper said:

Wow! Received my kit today in Ottawa, Canada. I’m a new member and am thrilled with the yarn, the extras, the dyer’s notes and the beautifully-presented pattern. This is going to be fun.

Mine came today in Colorado!!! It’s so beautiful! I’ve never done beads before though, so I haven’t decided if I’m intimidated by it or excited to try something new. But, since I can’t get started right now I have a few days to weigh the options.

On January 29th, 2009 at 3:07 pm Kimberly said:

A newbie in Vancouver, BC, here. I finished my previous pair of socks at a knit night yesterday, and came home to find the RSK package!

On January 29th, 2009 at 7:58 pm Tina said:

As soon as I am sure that most have gotten their shipments Sivia will post and then our test knitter Gail will also be posting with some of her thoughts on knitting this pattern.

On January 29th, 2009 at 8:31 pm Catherine Myers said:

It’s here! Yay! I have never done any beaded knitting, and I’m afraid the explanation about using a floss threader isn’t clicking in my head…I’m not sure I even can tell what the thing is. I’m game though…although I doubt I’ll bead them all the way to the toe.

On January 29th, 2009 at 10:21 pm Angela Boyle said:

Whoo! I got it! Beautiful cover. Beautiful socks. I already cast on and got started. I love beaded knitting, so these will be fun. I can’t decide how far down to put the beads, but I guess I will wing it. Hooray!

On January 29th, 2009 at 11:22 pm Barbara said:

Woohoo! It’s finally here (Germany). Now that I’ve stopped drooling I can start thinking about the pattern, the “thingies”, winding the yarn and finding time to knit.

On January 29th, 2009 at 11:39 pm Rhonda Stovin said:

Oh joy! Though far from first, I got mine today in Edmonton Alberta. I couldn’t have dreamed up a more gorgeous colour if I tried. And I am hard-pressed to imagine anyone else’s beads could be more beautiful than mine are. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this happen. As a first time RSCer, I am over the moon!

On January 30th, 2009 at 11:57 am Penelope said:

Mine arrived yesterday, just when I needed some sock therapy most. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern. The bead stringing and tubular cast-on took a little more time than a standard sock cast on, but the effect is well worth it. BEE-U-T-FULL!!!!

What a marvelous way to start the year–mine came Wednesday and I absolutely adore it. It couldn’t be more perfect for me…Now I normally wouldn’t wear beaded socks but everytime I think I’ll just knit without beads, the beads call back to me….My label read Etta James…Thanks for all the extras!

On January 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pm Jane Sink said:

Just got mine yesterday (29th). I love love love the colors! Never knitted beads before, but they too are calling to me to try them.

On January 30th, 2009 at 3:41 pm Jen said:

Finally arrived in the San Diego, CA area! Another beautiful colorway and design, the RSC team really are the best. I’ve never used beads before either and can’t wait to get started soon. I finished my Wool Peddler’s shawl and almost have my Lacy Prairie shawl finished, so I should be set to CO this weekend… maybe the sock yarn will encourage me to knit the shawl even faster. Great job and thanks again to the designer and everybody at Blue Moon!

Wow!!
The Blues made it’s way to California’s central valley, Oakdale be be precise and I am not blue, but grinning from ear to ear. I am just staring at the yarn and occasionaly squeezing it as I finish the last half of Holidazed. Can’t wait to get started. I am so excited about the designs this year. I think I will knit this pair on 2 circs 2 at a time. Then when I am done I can wear them! Yippee!!

Thanks so much for the beauty.

Mine arrived on Thursday. I was in a rush to go out, but I just had to stop and open the envelop and it was better than Christmas. Wow, and to think there are 2000 of us out here in the world going crazy about this beautiful yarn and beads. I can’t wait to begin.

My package still hasn’t arrived in Texas. It left Portland on Jan. 27th, so maybe today.

When I got the eagerly anticipated package a couple days ago, and drew out the yarn and saw all the beautiful blues (no HUGE surprise there, but gorgeous!), I sighed and smiled! (though it was dark, and today in sunlight, the richness of the teals and indigos and turquoise and steel blues and ultramarine really comes out)

But when I turned the bag over and saw the beads, I gasped out loud.

WOW!

The pattern is lovely! As is all Sivia’s work. I really have to finish my father’s second sock before I can justify casting these on, but oh, my (blue) heavens, I WANT to start right this moment!

Today’s mail has arrived! I got it in Texas! Hooray! “My Blue Heaven” is absolutely gorgeous. Can’t wait to get started. I am headed out to get the dental floss threader. Wish me luck.

I received my package Thursday. I love it! The colors, the pattern, and everything. I’m using it for the Jan. sockdown on Ravelry as well. I’ve already cast on and I;m knittin’ away. Sock for ME!

Received my package on Wednesday (1/28)here in Battle Creek, MI. It was like Christmas all over again. The colorway is absolutely beautiful, as are the beads.

Mine arrived on Thursday 1/28. Stunning colorway and my first experience with beads. I love all the extras! A big thank you - I am so glad I am part of this

It’s here!! YAY!! My package arrived here in Sweden om Friday, and I’m THRILLED! Great, great colour (with a bit of turqouise and teal, my fave!). First time with beads, but feel comfortable with this lovely, worldwide sock club as support. So, so glad I joined!! This is gonna be a great knitting year!

My kit made it to outstate Minnesota and the yarn is beautiful……the beads will be a new endeavor for me. Thanks!

I am located in Ottawa, Canada and received my package last Friday. Yummy, yummy, yummy…

On February 2nd, 2009 at 6:45 pm Michelle said:

Finally arrive today in Dunrobin, ON, just outside of Ottawa! YEAH!

As I suspected, my package arrived while I was away at conference. Still trying to catch up at work and home from that, so not able to start knitting yet. But–gorgeous yarn! I loved it in the skein and love it just as much in the wound ball. This is going to be a joy to knit with.

On February 3rd, 2009 at 7:22 pm Cynthia Gaertner said:

My Kit arrived Jan.28. Longview, WA is only 40 minutes from Blue Moon so I guess the Portland Post Office is slow. Mom helped me get my yarn ready to use, I need a swift. Any ideas on a good, reasonably priced swift?

Mine came last night. Being a newbie also, I wasn’t sure what to expect. OMG! The yarn - I can feel my stash growing already. I am so glad I decided to join. I haven’t knit with beads yet and I haven’t knit socks with any kind of pattern in them (Rib & STK only). Well, here’s to a new adventure. I can’t what to see what’s next.

Yesterday felt like Christmas here in Quebec and it wasn’t because of all the snow! I was so anxious to see what comprised a kit and I wasn’t disappointed. The colorway is gorgeous and I’m rearing to start out on this new adventure..

Phew! I was beginning to think that there was a very happy customs agent at the border, merrily knitting MY socks. But everything arrived today, safe, sound and blissfully untouched . . .

I begged off my usual Friday night Mah Jong gig (they had 4 without me . .)to start! I have wound my yarn There did not seem to be any problems with knot . . ), strung 200 beads, and knit my cuff. Tomorrow I will start the pattern proper, whilst I wait in line at our local farmer’s market. Life is good!

On February 6th, 2009 at 7:09 pm Jessica said:

Just got mine cast on and a little bit knit. My color way is My blue Heaven. The name inside the ball band is Rozanne Potvin. If that is the name of the person who did the dying, many many thanks, Rozanne. It’s beautiful!

On February 7th, 2009 at 7:04 am Judy McFarland said:

With all the knot problems reported in another entry, I am happy to say that I don’t have any knots in mine. I VERY slowly wound the yarn by hand into 2 balls last night and am entranced by the colors. My membership was a surprise gift from my adult children, and I am anxious to get started - although not so anxious that I skip checking for gauge. Then on to the beads - a first for me. I am excited to be here!

Newbie in Iowa here. I was so excited to get the email notification that my sock club package had been shipped. That was a great service! The next day I got an email that it had arrived at my post office early that morning, and it was in my mail box when I got home that night (Jan. 30). Thanks! It was fun to get the “extra” stuff. Love the pattern. I haven’t used beads before so I’m looking forward to trying it. Now if only I didn’t have to work for a living and would have the time to get the yarn wound and cast on…..soon I hope….

I received my package in what seems like an eternity ago! I loved it and had fun getting it ready to knit. Then I became volleyball interrupted! LOL My youngest daughter has been in tournaments every weekend since, and although I knit when she’s not playing, I thought I should brush up on my knitting before I ventured into this sock. This is the last tournament and I’m almost done with my brush up socks. I’m confident that I can tackle this first NSK kit now. YEAH!!

I’m still waiting in the UK for my package to arrive, Is anyone else still waiting too?

My package arrived today in Finland! And it’s so lovely. And the “thingies” are like a cherry on the cake… I just wish my package could tell me where it had been…. It had at some moment got some water and some of the “fill-in”-papers were a little bit damaged. But not too much. Now I just have to go and buy a binder…
