Hi June!
I suppose we are both newbies to the sock club. I currently have 'Ruldolph' on the needles. It makes a wonderful valentine's day sock. Yes, I know I'm a little late finishing, but such is the way of handknits. I can't wait to see what Jana has created for the club and what everyone does with their yarn.

By the way, I'm loving the Christmas sweater you are wearing in the picture your daughter posted. Christmas sweaters are a tradition in my family! :)

Hello!

Hi June and everyone!

My name is Angela. This is my first time with Jana's sock club. I am a huge fan of Jana's yarns and am just so excited to be a part of the club. I am a SAHM of 3 adorable little boys (almost 4, 2.5 and 15 mos). I am also a self taught knitter and have been knitting since Oct. 06. Knitting is the serenity at the end of my busy days. I also just started spinning. I am really looking forward to the first club shipment!

Hi, June!

All right, I'll go ahead and do the first intro....why not?

My name is Jill and this is my second round of Jana's sock yarn club. I so enjoyed the last one, and look forward to the package like you wouldn't believe! Feel free to check out my blog if you'd like to get to know me better. The basics are that I'm a self-taught knitter of almost two years. I'm married and stay home with my three kiddos. And I'm really excited for the first shipment!! Woohoo!

contest #1

Hi everyone! let's get to know each other during our first contest. The prize is 2 skeins of Interlacements yarn from my stash, photo above.

I decided to add my Mom for this round of our tvyarn club and it's a surprise for her! So the contest is simple, just post to this blog and introduce yourself, say hi to everyone, and say hi to my mom June!! She doesn't use the computer but my Dad (Sid) does and he can show her this blog after the contest is finished. See their photo above, aren't they cute?!

So just post and I'll draw a random name after 5pm on Friday Feb 29.

Romantic Comedies series

Hi everyone,

For our next tvyarn sock club series, tvyarn will be celebrating Romantic Comedy Movies!

There will be three shipments for this series. The yarn base will be my 100% superwash yarn. Each month, you may choose fingering or sport weight tvyarn. For one of the shipments, members will have the opportunity to vote for the Romantic Comedy movie for that month by using a poll on the club blog. And there will also be contests now and then on the club blog.

With each shipment, you will receive
- An exclusive color way of tvyarn as inspired by that month's Romantic Comedy movie. During the series, you will receive two multi-color variegated color ways and one semi-solid color way.
- A theme-related stitch marker
- At least two more theme-related, fun surprises.PLUS, in one of the three shipments, you will receive a cute - and useful - sock project bag or tote. The shipment it arrives with will be a surprise.

The shipments will be the first week of March, April, and June, 2008. The price for the series is $100 plus $13.80 shipping. Signups begin immediately. If you join, you will receive a paypal invoice for the entire amount during the third week of January 2008. To join send email to whiteoakstudio AT yahoo DOT com. Signups will end when the club is full OR on January 5, 2008 (which ever comes first). Spaces are very limited.

I hope you will join the fun! Jana
