Fun
♥ Comments (14) ♥
Thank you to everyone who made the collaboration kits a smashing success! We had no idea it would be so much (work) fun. Thank you for everyone who came out to the etsy link and checked it out. It was a larger undertaking than i had thought, but it was well worth it. I mean just LOOK at how good Twisted ™ sock yarn made our bags look!
Meg’s yarn™ make the fabrics literally look luscious and vibrant! I hope we can maybe mastermind another limited edition run again sometime near the end of summer maybe. It takes literally a few months to do this sort of thing. But look at the color involved, (some pictures i couldn’t include on etsy.
and now i have them lined up on the floor..waiting to depart into the world.
For those of you who didn’t get one, if it’s any consolation to you...i didn’t get one. I didn’t even think to ask meg for a skein of each for myself...nor do i even own any of our bags aside from a prototype. You’d think after 2 years of making these darn things...but no. Because i have to give it all away, this is why her yarn...her beautiful yarn remained in the bags and i only took it out to photograph it and to set one skein into each bag. if i were to take them out it would be harder to give them all away...much like it is hard to give back a puppy once you hold it.
so zander was in charge of boxes this afternoon...he folded and sealed the bottoms of each one, and stacked them until we had ten. He wants to show you he’s taller than the stack
and that he counted them
and just being silly
I gave erin a really awesome gift today at lunch watch her blog for her to post it. it’s one of those ‘wait for it” moments.
Also if you would like a to get your hands on the pattern that was made by erin, and inspired by Meg’s beautiful yarn. It was included int he kit. It will soon (this weekend) be available for download in the shop (not etsy). It will only be 3$ but it is a very fun pattern...and i did the layout/design. So if anyone out there writes patterns and you need for it to look good...need for it to be a PDF and stuff feel free to contact me..i do work for yarn.

Wow, those must’ve gone quick! I had a note to check right at 4pm my time but only ever saw one of them appear and then it was gone too! I thought I was quick enough this time...guess not! Glad they were such a success. They look beautiful.

That photo of everything all laid out in it’s kitish glory! Drool…
I *so* want to do this again. Maybe we could do larger quantities or something.
Thanks so much for all the hard work and dedication you put into this project. You are so getting one next time even if I have to buy it and send it right back to you!

Wow! They turned out amazing, the colors and everything are just perfect together. :) What fun, and it must have been great working on it with other people too. Makes me wish I knew how to make socks, a kit like this would totally be inspiring.

Wow!!!!! Those pictures are gorgeous!
Unfortunately, I’m budgeting and couldn’t snag a kit. But they were definitely beautiful.
And Z’s such a cute little helper.

Great job to everyone with the kits. That is a lot of work. I have loved all the other pouches and was so thrilled to jump on this and get a kit. Thanks for the outstanding products!

What were these kits and how’d I miss the bandwagon? Are you doing them again? Did you sell them in your Etsy? Why do I always learn about things too late??!
When the pattern is avail in shop, send us the link - not sure where her shop is located if it’s not Etsy?
