Tracking shows mine left Portland yesterday.
I’m hoping for it to brighten my Monday!

Nothing has arrived here in Ottawa yet. But the international packages always take longer anyways. I figure that mine is spending Thanksgiving in the US Postal system somewhere en route to me here in Canada. Don’t worry Tina, I am sure there will be a flurry of “Arrived” messages soon!

I got mine in NY just a few minutes ago! I LOVE it!!!

Thank you to Tina and the entire BMFA crew for another great year in the Sock Club! You guys are awesome!!

See? I told you they would start arriving soon!

Got mine on Long Island in New York. Love the pattern. Thanks!

I checked the tracking this morning and it said that my package arrived in La Grande at 5:00 AM and was sorted at 8:39 AM, so that means it will be delivered sometime today! Thank you!

Arrived in Olean, NY today, the 27th. I was surprised, as I thought we had them all. Thanx for the added goodies, too!!

On November 27th, 2009 at 1:21 pm Heidi Ulrich said:

I just got mine and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Again, you’ve outdone yourself with the yarn and Cookie A with the pattern!! Awesome!!!

On November 27th, 2009 at 2:24 pm Karalee said:

Got mine today and it’s all gorgeous! Have wound up and cast on already, though I really should be doing Christmas knitting instead.

On November 27th, 2009 at 2:48 pm Angela Aragon-Henslee said:

I got mine here in Hillsboro and absolutely love it!!!

On November 27th, 2009 at 3:33 pm lisa said:

yep, mine’s here in pittsburgh, and i LOVE it.
i’d told my normally stoic husband to text me if the package came today while i was out. this is the text i received at 2:32 today:

Blue moon fibert arts alert!!!11111111111

he knows me well :)

On November 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm Kel said:

Hey. It looks wonderful. When will be able to buy more via the site? I got one more secret code to use before December 1, and I would like to get more with my discount????

Tina, Unbelieveable! You gave a new meaning to “Black Friday”, came home from shopping and discovered the mailman had brought this last sock kit and I am in awe.This colorway in amazing. I wasn’t going to join again, not because I haven’t enjoyed it but I was going to be fiscally more conservative. Well to heck with that, I love your dyer notes,your pattern choices and then there is your amazing magic that you perform with color. Plus, there is Anna Z.’s patter. I so enjoyed the class I took from the two of you on color at the Summit and have been waiting in happy anticipation for whatever she was going to contribute. Thank you,thank you,thank you.

On November 27th, 2009 at 4:42 pm Camille said:

My package arrived in Philadelphia today . . . but I’m in Virginia and not at home. It will be a nice treat when I get back to Philadelphia tomorrow.

On November 27th, 2009 at 4:52 pm Marisol M Sanchez said:

I got mine in San Francisco, CA –Absolutely Adore it… Picking some colors from my stash for the nice surprise!!! The boy just happened to ask for this special item this morning. So thanks for the perfect timing! Lots of Rare Gems and Mill Ends being put to good use:)

On November 27th, 2009 at 4:58 pm Marcy aka knittinggolfer said:

One came to SunnyHolden! I adore it as usual!!! The color and the pattern and the notes and the &*^% and the @#&#**$#.

Love it as deeply as i love each and every one. I may have a problem. And let’s be clear…It’s your fault!!!! :-)

On November 27th, 2009 at 5:35 pm Robin Cadmus said:

It’s Black Friday in Oakdale, CA, just about 90 miles east of San Francisco, and I didn’t even have to go out and battle the hoards to get my shopping done. Love the colorway!!. Just finishing a pair of socks by Cookie A and then I can get to these. I am excited!! It is Christmas early here!

On November 27th, 2009 at 5:55 pm dawn.vermeulen@gmail.com said:

I got mine in Corvallis, Oregon today!!
Awesome post Thanksgiving treat. Love everything.

On November 27th, 2009 at 7:00 pm Karen T said:

Mine arrived today in Pleasanton, CA. The color and pattern are beautiful and the extras are great too! Thank you! I’m already looking forward to next years club. :-)

On November 27th, 2009 at 7:40 pm Sheri said:

Mine arrived in Kingston, WA this afternoon. Love the extra this time!

On November 27th, 2009 at 8:05 pm Carol Frazier said:

I’m upset. USPS says mine was delivered, but I don’t have the kit yet. I’m afraid it may have been delivered to the wrong house. :(

On November 27th, 2009 at 8:32 pm Ginny Jones said:

My postman delivered our mail around 7 p.m. tonight and the Blackbird arrived. Thanks so much - the depth of the color in the yarn is amazing; the swag is very handy & will get lots of use by me.

On November 27th, 2009 at 8:32 pm Miki said:

Mine came today and it is beautiful!!!!

On November 27th, 2009 at 8:37 pm KaarenB said:

I got mine today too. Came home from a very long day at the in-laws and it was my present for being good. We had even stopped at Churchmouse Yarns while on the way home. I didn’t get a single skein while there, just petted all the pretties. I can’t wait to pick up some more of Blackbird. Maybe I’ll get some BFL as a xmas present to myself. Thank you for the excellent package dude!

On November 28th, 2009 at 4:00 am Springermama said:

The wonderful package arrived yesterday…the yarn is beautiful and I love it. The hint of color is spectacular. The patterns look to be fun and the special swag is great. Thank you to all of your for all your hard work this year!

On November 28th, 2009 at 5:10 am Kelly said:

Sigh… as usual, still waiting up here in Ottawa, Canada. I am very jealous of all of you who have received your shipment! Ah well, maybe on Monday…

On November 28th, 2009 at 5:18 am Rebecca said:

got mine last night! it was the perfect “purchase” to come home to after a day of avoiding the craziness!

and once i saw the colorway, i thought “this is what Black Friday really refers to!”

On November 28th, 2009 at 6:32 am Angela Gallas said:

Just opened mine this morning. What a surprise for a Baltimorean to get a Raven sock!

On November 28th, 2009 at 7:06 am Linda Schaefer said:

My shipping notice hasn’t been updated since it left Portland on Wed - so I’ll have a surprise when it arrives in Wisconsin, for sure. Maybe today, I hope???

On November 28th, 2009 at 7:27 am Kim said:

Mine arrived in Soquel, CA Saturday Nov 28. Very happy to get it.

On November 28th, 2009 at 7:32 am Joan said:

Received mine in Sandpoint, Idaho. I love the yarn, pattern, and dyer’s notes. What a fun RSC year. I think DH may get this pair of socks for Christmas, but I’ll have to get another skein for me because I really like the colorway and pattern. Great notes, Tina, I feel the same about winter. Peace and love to you and yours.

On November 28th, 2009 at 8:05 am Tina said:

Kelly I am sorry next time I’ll just bring you yours.

On November 28th, 2009 at 9:29 am Aida said:

I live in Vancouver WA and I am all bummed out that mine hasn’t arrived yet.
Maybe today!!!!

On November 28th, 2009 at 10:00 am Mary said:

I knew that it would come yesterday, but our mail carrier was working late so it hadn’t arrived before we left for a hockey game in Tri-Cities against Spokane. I was feeling mighty black and blue after watching the Chiefs thoroughly trounce the Americans. I can’t tell you how much my spirits were raised when I walked in just after midnight and a two-hour drive to see my package from you! My two favourite things outside of family, hockey and yarn!! Thank you, Tina and everyone at BMFA. It is so awesome! I want you to know I stayed up until almost 2AM reading the patterns and dye notes, looking at the yarn and goodies, and then putting them in my special NSK’s notebook. I slept like a baby! ;o)

On November 28th, 2009 at 10:37 am red853@yahoo.com said:

I didn’t get a notice or package. :(

On November 28th, 2009 at 10:49 am Deborah Kellen said:

Got mine in Minneapolis this morning. Love everything about it, the pattern, the yarn, the swag :). Only problem is so does my DH. Guess he’ll have to pay for his own!

On November 28th, 2009 at 11:10 am knitter@mac.com said:

Yea! Mine is “out for delivery” in Yuma, Arizona!

On November 28th, 2009 at 11:31 am Patricia Dixon said:

Yippie!!! Mine arrived in Mongomery,Texas..just minutes ago..my special mail lady delivered it to the door..It is so neat..just what I wanted, to carry with me to Egypt..long trip, so this will help the time pass…

On November 28th, 2009 at 12:48 pm Mya said:

Just got mine in Denver, CO! Must…resist urge…to cast on…must work on Xmas gifts first…

On November 28th, 2009 at 1:05 pm Jean said:

Mine arrived in Kalamazoo today. I love it!!

On November 28th, 2009 at 1:27 pm momcornutt@mindspring.com said:

I just got mine in Marietta, GA (Atlanta suburb). I made myself a cup of hot tea and settled into my favorite chair to drool over the entire package. Love the special gift! Sign me up for next year!!

On November 28th, 2009 at 2:48 pm shauschka@earthlink.net said:

Apparently, it took three days to get to Portland, and hasn’t yet reached Seattle. I’ll probably get it Monday. Sigh…like the shoemaker’s child, the nearer you are, the later it comes.

I’ll be haunting the mailbox.

It arrived today, Saturday in Boulder, CO. I love it, especially the extras!!

On November 28th, 2009 at 4:21 pm Debra Robbins said:

It’s here! I almost gave up receiving it this weekend. The Post office must be working overtime in Minneapolis.

On November 28th, 2009 at 4:26 pm Maxine said:

Oh. My.
My favorite shipment. Raven colorway. Useful swag. 2 patterns. I cast on and knit one row. I really want to work on this instead of a gift lacy baktus.
Maybe just one more row…

On November 28th, 2009 at 4:50 pm Kristina said:

I got mine today, and LURV the colorway, as well as the ultraspifftabulous crochet hook. really handy for the lace I am doing right now!!!!

On November 28th, 2009 at 5:25 pm steph said:

My daughter called about 3:00PM today and said she got “hers”. My mail hadn’t come but I saw the mailman two doors down, so I stood by the mailbox waiting for him. He drove up and said,”Yes, I have your yarn.” I said, “How did you know I was waiting for yarn?” He said, “I remember last time I delivered it you were waiting.”
Too Funny…
I love the color, the PATTERNs and the swag…I’m sorry to see this year’s club end,,,but I can hardly wait to see what’s in store for 2010!!!Bring it on, Tina!!!

On November 28th, 2009 at 9:09 pm Kelly said:

Wow! I didn’t realize that we had the option of hand delivery Tina! :-) I will have to definitely remember to check that box when I sign up again (heehee) Have a great weekend Tina!

On November 29th, 2009 at 8:51 am Alison Wahlen said:

WOW! Got it yesterday (sat.) I LOVE IT!!!!! (Thanx for the extra goodies) Can’t wait for the second week in Dec. so I can sign up for next year! I’m so totally addicted.

On November 29th, 2009 at 2:49 pm judy.miller@yahoo.com said:

Got mine yesterday in Wisconsin! I checked the mailbox and forgot to check the %#$@& front door!!! I found it early this morning when I walked the dogs. Great color!! I am itching to start!

On November 29th, 2009 at 3:46 pm Teresa in OK said:

Arrival here in Grass Valley.CA sometime while we were in Jenner,CA (beautiful ocean watching) enjoying life & family. Tina, thank you so much for the beautiful colour-and song from my youth-and Just Jen–THANK YOU for your Evil Carmel Pecan Brownies (recipe last year in Nov)–we have made them the traditional Wed before Turkey Day dessert and they are really something to be thankful for!!! Looking forward to next year~

Oh dear - no sign down here at the bottom of the world and this time I am determined not to look at the spoilers
Maybe next week…. (as long as it’s before Christmas, I’m happy -although tomorrow would be nice……

On December 1st, 2009 at 12:21 pm Marianne said:

On December 1st, 2009 at 7:50 pm shauschka@earthlink.net said:

Mine came on Monday. What a wonderful package. I loved the yarn, the pattern, the swag and … the final page of the dyer’s notes. How lovely! It brought tears to my eyes.

On December 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm Arlene said:

came today in Edmonton, AB
Great colour, can’t wait until I have time to knit it up, thanks Tina :)

On December 4th, 2009 at 12:40 pm linda.irving-bell@queens.ox.ac.uk said:

My kit arrived at the Queen’s College in Oxford, UK today. I love the pattern and the yarn. Now I have received my year’s subscription, and every yarn has been a delight. What a success! I look forward to 2010! Thank you, Linda

On December 5th, 2009 at 6:39 am Kelly said:

I definitely should have taken the option of hand delivery. I am still waiting for my package up here in Ottawa. I noticed on Ravelry that there is at least one pair of completed socks already. le sigh. Oh well. There is always next week. Until then I will continue singing
“Someday my socks will come,
someday I will knit again,
and away to my chair I will go,
to happily purl I know.

Someday when the mail arrives
I will be able to cast on once again
And the needles will click
with my knitting so slick
Someday when my yarn dreams come true….” :-)
(With apologies to Snow White and Mr. Disney…)
Have a great weekend everybody!

On December 7th, 2009 at 6:41 am bamoon said:

The kit arrived over Thanksgiving while I was away…lovely to come home to a “present” after being gone! I love the colorway and pattern, and the tool will be very useful. Thanks!

On December 7th, 2009 at 6:15 pm Heliina said:

Mine finally arrived today here in Thunder Bay, Ontario and I LOOOOOOVE it! Thank you!!!

On December 8th, 2009 at 4:16 am Val said:

No sock yarn here yet..but we are north of Ottawa and out in the boonies as well..it always takes longer. But I am hopeful that it will arrive this week.

Love the sock club and look forward to signing up for next year when the time comes.

On December 8th, 2009 at 9:50 am Kelly said:

Yay! My yarns dreams have finally come true in Ottawa! I can call off the search teams now. I love the colour (again!) and the swag is absolutely PERFECT Tina (it had already been used to safely rescue a dropped stitch) Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! I am definitely looking forward to 2010 and continuing the fun! Have a great day everybody! I hope all of the rest of the stragglers receive their yarn soon!

On December 8th, 2009 at 10:03 am Val said:

You have outdone yourself Tina…this is a stunning colorway…can we buy more? The poppy seed pod reminded me to look out in my garden…the chickadees are feeding on the thistle heads and the other “seed weeds” that I planted. Its a sunny day tho and beautiful. I am ready to sit in front of the patio door and cast on…thank goodness my Christmas knitting is done, I just blocked the 2nd shawl out in the garage.

Thankyou..you made my day!

On December 9th, 2009 at 3:52 pm Virginia Corbin said:

Have mine in MA and love it. Sad it is the last one but am looking forward to next year. Ginni

On December 9th, 2009 at 6:05 pm Carmen Ditzler said:

Here in Southern Alberta, land of winter, my long awaited solstice present arrived! Thanks Tina the colours are amazing, you are amazing and so are the people who help keep Blue Moon tripping along. Happy Winter Solstice everyone! P.S. Saw 15 ravens and a bald eagle eating a deer carcass today.

On December 10th, 2009 at 1:16 pm Karina Bates said:

Hello Tina,

Mine arrived yesterday in Omemee, ON. Love the colour, and the stitch tool is quite clever. I’m not sure if I can afford to resign for next year, so I’ll just thank you for the fun this year.
