Jana

Contest winner and poll for next series

Hi everyone! I've been enjoying reading your posts here, on your blogs and on ravelry. I'm so glad you are enjoying the "Thelma & Louise" shipment!

I entered names in the contest, as promised, and the winner is Jen J. ! Congratulations Jen!

I'll be sending Jen a set of these stitch markers and the handy-dandy container for them.

I'm already thinking about the NEXT tvyarn club series and I need a theme so I can start ordering the goodies! I'd love some input, so let's see if this poll helps. The next series will begin early next year (and please vote for fun, no obligation to do the next series, of course).

It should be safe to post pictures now:)

So I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed this first installment Jana - Thank you!
There are duplicate pictures on my blog too:)

Ready For A Road Trip

Well I am, and the destination looks like the southwest! Received my kit a few days ago. The yarn and goodies were such a treat. I felt like a kid at Christmas! Beautiful texture and colors to the yarn. I'm thinking possibly the monkey socks or crusoe socks from knitty.com

Love Thelma and Louise!

I received the first sock kit and just love everything! I posted a pic up on my blog. The colorway is gorgeous and is helping me get through all the gray knitting I've been doing lately!

in the mood for a road trip!

Got my shipment yesterday... So thrilled! I don't know why, but the sunglasses put this sock club installment over the top for me. The whole themed club thing just puts a smile on my face!

I wish I had known Thelma and Louise was on TV recently; I would have tivo'd it and watched it while I cast on with the new yarn. I don't yet know what I'll pick pattern-wise, but I've got to get a few other socks off of the needles first!

Love It!

I got my kit yesterday. it was a great surprise (I forgot it had even shipped). I can't wait to get started. Now, what shall I knit....

Perfect

I got my kit today. The mailman just left it on the porch, as if it was simply a typical package. He should have a drum roll recording or something, to signify what was on the porch. YES! I love it. The bag is so great, the stitch marker, and the yarn (too perfect, I love the colors). I am very happy with my kit (uh, the sunglasses were missing one of their side pieces, but that's okay cuz I wear glasses so I couldn't wear them anyway). Also, if anyone is interested www.woolgirl.com has a Christmas Story tvyarn sock kit to be sent in November. I have ordered tvyarn from woolgirl and she is fast to ship and so nice. So what a great match with tvyarn and woolgirl. I don't know if there are any spots left (I got on the list today). After seeing my chick flick sock club kit, I think Christmas Story would be great. It was my movie choice for favorite Christmas movie, in Jana's contest. Oh, this is off topic, but has anyone tried the new Knit Picks Harmony wooden needles for use with the options? I ordered a couple for sock knitting tonight and was wondering how well they work - I have a problem with bamboo needles breaking when I knit socks. Yeah, I knit t-i-g-h-t, sometimes I think I can even hear the poor yarn squeaking. I think I will have to go cast on some Monkey's with my new yarn, what is anyone else knitting with the new yarn?

WOW!

WOW!! I love this kit! And the yarn! So yummy! I haven't decided what pattern to use, I'm thinking Monkey socks. And I have pics on my blog.

I received my kit today!

I received my kit today and was blown away! WOW! This colorway is fantastic and the bag and extra goodies are wonderful! Thank you Jana! I'm so excited to start knitting my Thelma and Louise Socks! I will post on my blog in the next week!

I got it! I Got it!

O.K. I will not show you pictures so I that I don't spoil it for anyone!

OMG! The Thelma and Louise installment is Fabulous! I LOVE it! I can't wait to cast on! I'm going to photograph it now but wait a few days to post on my blog.

Thanks Jana--You are amazing!

WOOHOO..what a thing to wake up to!!!

The shipment is amazing!! Terrific job, Jana! Now what to make? Here is a link to my blog. WOW!!

Patiently waiting??

Yeah! I am so glad the sock club is already in the mail. I can't wait to see the color. Thelma and Louise was on tv tonight and I have tivo'd it. It may still be on (in other areas - I'm west coast and tivo'd the east coast feed). So I guess I'll go watch it and knit my Lost socks (really pretty colorway) and wait for the mailman. I am so excited to be in this sock club - I just stumbled into it, because we have the same first name. Karma! Have a great day, everyone.

September Contest

Hi all! for our first contest, everyone has a chance to win. To start I'll put everyone's name in a hat. If you post a note to either this blog or your blog when you receive your September shipment, I'll put your name in the hat again (2 chances then). If you post a note and a photo of the shipment to this blog or your blog, your name goes in the hat again (that would make 3).

If you don't want to spoil the surprise don't look at the blogs until you receive and open your shipment (sorry that's the best I can come up with)!

I'm still mulling over what the prize will be.... You have until Friday Sept 14 midnight to post, then I'll have my son draw the winning name.

thanks! Jana

They are on their way!

The first shipment of the Tvyarn Sock Club is on its way to you via Priority USPS! Yes I missed my shipment date of Sept 1 and I'm sorry about that. I decided to put something extra in the shipment so I think you'll be happy once you receive it! And, boy, did I learn an thing or two about planning a ship date! Plan much more time than you think you will need. Last week one of the items I was waiting for did not arrive, so I phoned the company and they said "oh that is back-ordered indefinitely". Yikes! So I thought, ah-hah, I'll just make something extra to put in the shipment instead, how fun would that be! Well, let me tell you I found out the meaning of LABOR DAY! :-)

I'm very excited for all of you to get the goods, since I do think you will like it.

Once I catch my breath I'll post the first contest. thanks!! Jana
