Humpty Dumpty…

Actually more like  klutzy wutzy.  Has anyone noticed how late we are? We are very, very late for what we consider a very important date, and it is all my fault. You see, I am a bit of a klutz, always have been. If I slowed down, I probably fair a bit better but that is just not going to happen, so I walk into things and I fall, mostly getting a bit bruised and sore.

Well… over a week ago I tripped on a piece of sidewalk and went down fast and hard and hit my head. I am fine, just a bit of a brain jiggle, which made it a little hard to meet deadlines.

So… what that means to you is that we will be start shipping on Thursday when the pattern and dyer’s notes are here.

Stay tuned for your playlist and a contest. I am going to run out (carefully) and proof the pattern and notes so they can got to press.

I am really sorry!

Hint 1:  We are revisiting a popular sock club theme.

UPDATE:
OK on Wednesday we will play a new RSC game called “the Dyer is in”. You can ask hint type questions and I will answer them. The answers could be straight forward, in code, in rhymne or pun (you know how I feel about those) or even a riddle. Remember I have led you down the garden path before so… all in good fun and it is most certainly not my fault.
I will post with the subject line of ” The Dyer Is In” and you can put your questions in the comments and I will respond to them there.
I think the next one we will try is “Stump the Dyer”.

And a crash helmet is not a bad idea. Although I have to say with all my klutzy maneuvers this is the very first time I have hit my head.

Hello

Hello NSK’s just dropping in to say hi and that it was so wonderful to meet so many of you at the summit and that I miss you and that September is right around the corner. Another shipment. Holy crap September is right around the corner. Ohh…Joann.

I think it might be time for a contest or game. Joann Debbi and I will put our twisted heads together this week and see what we can come up with.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last legs of summer. We are finally getting a little summer sun here in Oregon.

What are we all working on?  I bet it is socks.

How our garden grows…

Which I have to say I really like. Evidently I have been so occupied with all other sock related things that fill my days that I have been remiss in my torturing the sock club duties. So my lovelies here you go.
Yarn ball in your court.

‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

From William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, 1594:

p.s. We are running a tad late. So I will add more fun to keep us all occupied tomorrow.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

Is there anyone out there waiting for a sock club Shipment?
No? Are you sure?

I thought I should probably let you know that we are running just a wee bit off schedule.
The International and Canadian packages will leave here tomorrow and then the rest will follow on Friday,Monday and probably Tuesday.

Sorry for the delay. Just a very,very,small issue that needed tending. I will share when we all have our packages. A good story with a some hysterical aspects to it.

We can chat while we are waiting.

What are you knitting on while you are waiting? Did you finish all of your Holidazed knitting?

What do you think of the new blog graphic?? Pretty cool huh. Sooo love, this I want it covering a wall in my house.

There are a few new aspects. A new version of wordpress to learn. Sorry not really a big fan of these upgrades myself. Hopefully between all of us we can get it down.
There are a few new categories.
One is called “Not Socks” for those of us who decide to knit something else or to mix it up in anyway and then another category called “Blue Notes” for our shipment tunes.
If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. I cannot promise we can implement them, but will do my best.

ok I have to go now and take care of some very small things.
