The International sock club kits left on May 19th! And today, May 20 as a special favor to the birthday girl you are going to dig through the labels and send my package. Right? Right. Hugs to all there in Blue Moon land.

OMG!!! I didn’t realize that I was so so excited to hear this news. I even finished the beautiful roses and some other stuff! I must not be getting enough sleep to have so much time to knit. Actually a road trip from Californis to Fort Collins, Colorado to attend graduation of #1 daughter. She is off to veterinary school there in August/September with a short cruise in July(mom is going, of course. Can’t let kids have too much fun). I will try to be patient. Tapping fingers on the desk!

On May 20th, 2009 at 3:11 pm Kelly said:

Yay! I hope that the little customs gremlins at the border send on my package quickly this time. I was getting really worried last time. I can’t wait! Fraggle socks here I come!!!

Received my email delivery confirmation this am. Waiting in Texas.

I bet you just love telling us that our shipments have gone out! I would! Thanks for all your hard work and effort!

On May 20th, 2009 at 7:09 pm Jennifer said:

Squeee!!!!! I just got my delivery notice too. Perfect timing! It’s a 5 day weekend for me! (in calmer tone of voice) Hmmm, I’m sure I can find “something” to do…

I never get a delivery confirmation but I’m hoping mine went out with the rest of the NC crowd. I can’t WAIT for this shipment! I’m hoping to finish up my current sock tonight so I can cast on right away!

On May 21st, 2009 at 9:13 am Ang. said:

I finally found the confirmation email in my overflowing inbox. My package left Portland last night! I will probably lurk around my porch all day tomorrow and scare my mail carrier.

Ang in Houston.

On May 21st, 2009 at 9:14 am Alice in the Heartland said:

I discovered my confirmation in the spam box because it comes from USPS not Blue Moon. At least I found it and have now added it to the “not spam” list. Looking forward to some yarny goodness real soon.

On May 21st, 2009 at 5:26 pm Teresa in OK said:

Am on vacation in CO this week and got my email confirmation in yesterday’s email…I am so hoping that mine will be waiting for me when I get home on Saturday evening!!!

What a great welcome home package that would be!?!?

On May 21st, 2009 at 11:36 pm Irene said:

Bummer. Got the delivery confirmation yesterday but it looks like it didn’t get delivered to the post office until today, which means I won’t get it until after I return from my holiday weekend and it will be sitting in my apartment building’s mail area for days. Going to try a usps.com hold mail request to have them deliver on Tuesday instead.

Arrived today in the morning mail in Tennessee.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 9:32 am LotusHips said:

I just picked mine up from the Post Office! I love the colorway and its name and can’t wait to see what everyone else has gotten! The pattern is going to be fun and perfect for me as I gravitate to this style whenever I go pattern hunting.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 am Rhiannon said:

Got mine today in Illinois. I really like this colorway.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 10:06 am Jennifer said:

Tina! You are a master!!!! The color is absolutely beautiful! Love the name too

I got my package this morning in Philadelphia. I take back everything I’ve ever said about my local Post Office being slow.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 10:51 am Trista Davis said:

I am so surprised by this amazing color! I thought it would be about opposite of what it turned out to be, but then I had no real idea of what the Fraggles were all about. This is one of my alltime favorites for colorway! I think I may be wanting to buy this in a lace yarn!!
Thanks everyone at Blue Moon!!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 11:11 am Tracey said:

I just tracked my package… It arrived at home. OMG! My afternoon can’t go fast enough. I can’t wait to get home now!!!

thanks Tina!!!

Mama Tina, will Sister Mary Mary scold me if I start the new socks before I finish Rogue Rose? Please….can I?
My fingers are itchin”!! I love, love, love the yarn!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 2:40 pm Jen said:

I got mine in San Diego today too! Beautiful! As always, thank you all for your hard work. Need to go read the dyer’s notes and look more closely at the pattern now.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 2:52 pm Wildaisy said:

My package arrived this afternoon, in Orlando. Tina, you are a wonder! I keep thinking one of these kits won’t be so imaginative or so pretty, and another comes and it is wonderful! I know others have suggested this before, but, Tina, would you consider a book with past sock club patterns? That would be heaven!

Got mine today here in Maryland. Had to look up “Moomins”. Comic strip trolls? It doesn’t get any loopier!

Got mine today in Minneapolis. Too bad I’m going to the movies tonight (oh the agony :).

On May 22nd, 2009 at 4:07 pm KaarenB said:

Rec’d. Friday morning, May 22, in Portland, OR. Really nice. Might make it plain instead of fraggled; however, the swell color should be enticing either way.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 4:14 pm Carol said:

Got mine today, outside of Philadelphia. I love the colors in it, and the pattern is really neat too!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 4:32 pm Sock Junkie said:

Got mine in the sunny south, Memphis, Tennessee

On May 22nd, 2009 at 4:47 pm Kim said:

Got the package today in Sunny Soquel, CA. How did you know these are my favorite colors. Can’t wait to get started as soon as I finish ANOTHER baby blanket.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 5:07 pm Patricia Dixon said:

It’s here, I love it..such a surprise..so fast..Something to get stated on.
Tina..could we get in to trouble with laughter..I was always laughting at the wrong things, and place..
Life is FUN!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm Lindsay said:

I got mine here in Maryland this afternoon and am beside myself with yarn love. The colors absolutely couldn’t be better suited for me.

Package arrived in Aurora IL

On May 22nd, 2009 at 5:52 pm Pamela said:

I got mine here in New York and it’s fabulous! Love the colorway and the pattern. It wasn’t what I expected. Tina, you are a master of trickery.

On May 22nd, 2009 at 6:21 pm Irene said:

Yay! Mine came today after all!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 6:48 pm Mary said:

Mine arrived today! I did something different and completely ignored the possibility of a shipment. It was such a surprise and I didn’t have to think that Oregon was low on the list again. :o) I love the colorway and I love the name!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 7:10 pm Sharon in Salem, Mass said:

Boo Hoo! I didn’t get mine today. We must have had a substitute mail carrier because our usual mail carrier would have known how important this package was to me. The weather has been so wonderful in New England the last couple of days, maybe the whole postal service has taken time off to put their boats in the water. It must come tomorrow, it must come tomorrow, it must come tomor……

On May 22nd, 2009 at 7:24 pm Shelley said:

Holy cow — just opened mine (Hoboken, NJ representin’) — it’s so awesome, am in lurve. Thanks!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 7:28 pm Tracey said:

I’m in L-O-V-E!!!!! The color is AWESOME!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm Marcela said:

Mine arrived in Lansing Michigan today. I’m not even done with one sock from the last shipment but I’m so tempted to wind and start knitting something. I’m looking forward to seeing how this knits!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 7:51 pm Knitter Kitter said:

My delivery confirmation notice says that they attempted to deliver it this afternoon and left a notice for me, but no notice and my mail was delivered before I left for work this morning Now I’m nervous that something’s happened to my yarn I’m going to call the PO first thing in the morning and hope there was just a mistake!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 7:58 pm eliz.garman@gmail.com said:

Got it today in Leesburg, VA. The color was unexpected, but it’s really beautiful!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 pm IrishgirlieKnits said:

I heart you!!! First, I didn’t peek at any spoilers so was so excited when I saw the colorway!! Marcy called me right away too! I absolutely love it and I’m already thinking about it in heavyweight (FLS?!), LSS, BFL….seriously!

You soooooooooo got it right Tina!!

On May 22nd, 2009 at 11:35 pm dawn.vermeulen@gmail.com said:

Yay!! My RSC shipment arrived today along with another BMFA box with another order!! Almost kissed the postman. Colour is not what I was expecting (that’s the fun of hints), but absolutely beautiful as usual.

I’m in Corvallis, Oregon and am on the gusset of my second Rogue Roses sock. As soon as it’s done, I’ll start on the Fraggles.

I am so glad I took the leap and signed up for the Rockin’ Sock Club!! You really do rock!!

On May 23rd, 2009 at 6:41 am Knitter Kitter said:

WooHoo!!! I went to to PO this morning and after two searches in the back they found my package! I guess the mailman wanted to keep the yarny goodness all to himself

I am in love with this colorway! As soon as I opened it I did the same thing that IrishgirlieKnits did… I immediately started thinking of buying more of it for other projects! I can’t wait to knit this up!

Thank you Tina and the gang for another great surprise!

On May 23rd, 2009 at 7:04 am Donna Finneran said:

Got it in Kittery, Maine. happy happy joy joy!!!

On May 23rd, 2009 at 7:10 am Magyar said:

Tina, this is unbelieveably beautiful. It shows how even outside of your comfort zone, your talent enables you to create such a beautiful moving colorway. Cannot wait to get it on needle. Moreover, I love the look of the pattern.
Thank you for this. Kanitting is and always was and always will be. End.

And, the brain can now rest; the Fraggle video really led me in the wrong direction.

We loves it. We can now waits a while for Romancing the Stone, but we still craves Sedona (and we are not referring to the movie or the road trip). My Precious.

Be well. Be you.

I got mine yesterday and absolutely love the colors. I was worried that the yarn was going to be orange–Fred Flintstone colors. (Not familiar with Fraggles since television was not an option during the 1980s) I so love purple, plum, mauve, and light grey mixed together. And JC, one of my favorite designer gurus. And Tina, my favorite depraved dyer. Thanks Sockateers for getting it to Northern Idaho before the weekend.

On May 23rd, 2009 at 8:36 am momannh@aol.com said:

Arrived in Olean, NY Friday. Had to call Stephen and gloat, as he is on the road ( never answered me) Beautiful, and I’m also wondering if it’s ethical to do these sox before the roses. Must admit, I’m still on sock 1 for blue heaven,,but was late in receiving the yarn. thanx. Also had to finish cat’s sox from camp

On May 23rd, 2009 at 11:46 am Maxine said:

I was kinda close for the name. I was guessing Cluck Jones. The color (wonderful!) I was way off. I’ll definitely be casting on today.

On May 23rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm Sue said:

I got mine today (in Minnesota). I was quite led astray by Tina’s hints. So the colorway was very unexpected. But I love it and I think the colorway will make an awesome pair of socks. There are lots of photos of the new sock pattern but I’m still not sure quite what it will look like…. I wanna see the sock pattern done in a solid….

On May 23rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm Robin Cadmus said:

Fraggle sock have arrived in Oakdale, CA today. Working at a swim meet tomorrow so I will start on Monday - whoopee!!

On May 24th, 2009 at 8:51 am dafracks@comcast.net said:

I received mine on Friday. I wasn’t sure what to expect with Fraggles but I love the colorway!

Can I say that I am entirely complicit in being corrupted? Please, go ahead, corrupt us some more!!

I’m thrilled to have my backside immortalized in the dyer’s notes

Still waiting in Canada… Sigh. But I did look at the spoilers, so at least I know what I’m missing. Hopefully it will arrive this week …

Guess what? Mine arrived today in Texas. Pepe La Plume is beautiful. You out did yourself Tina! The ball band says “Moomins”. I am clueless as to what that means. I may be showing my age?

Sigh. Still no sight of a package here in Ottawa Canada. I have looked at the spoilers too, but I couldn’t resist. Augh! Hopefully they arrive today! I finally got to go to the wonderful Lettuce Knit shop in Toronto, which is the closest place to me here in Canada that carries STR, and I was able to pick up a few skeins to tide me over, just in case. Come on delivery people! Hand over my yarn and I won’t have to get testy!

On May 27th, 2009 at 1:50 pm Alana said:

No sign of it in Western Canada either. I think my mail carrier didn’t even come today because I’ve been stalking her for the last week!

On May 27th, 2009 at 4:32 pm Laurie said:

Not here in Nova Scotia either…feel better knowing that other Canadians are waiting,too…now I know its just a slow postal thing going on…must wait another day. Wondering about colour but trying not to peek

On May 28th, 2009 at 10:19 am Rhonda Stovin said:

I just got it into my eager little hands in Edmonton — like everyone else has commented, you had me totally off-track on the colour, but I love it. The pattern is great, too! Thanks for another great combo.

On May 28th, 2009 at 10:04 pm Alana said:

Also still waiting in Calgary. How’d it get to Edmonton and not here! Damn Canada Post, don’t they know I need to start some socks ASAP?

On May 28th, 2009 at 11:36 pm Birgit said:

It’s here in Austria!!! I was soooo wrong about what the colours will be like I really like the combo of pattern and yarn, atually I think I finally have a perfect pattern for some other yarns in my stash! THANK YOU!!!

On May 31st, 2009 at 4:32 pm bamoon said:

I got mine on May 22nd and forgot to let you know! Sorry. I love the look and have decided these might warrant my addi lace needles rather than regular turbos. Hope to start them soon.

Received safe & sound in Toronto - can’t wait to cast on!
