Shazamm! (Errata)

Thank you Super Sleuth Janis for catching this one!

We have errata in our Shazamm sock pattern on Page 5. We will repalace the pattern pdf as soon as Cassie can make those changes and we can upload it.

Here is the correction:
On page 5 of the pattern, just above the Finishing heading, it should say:
Repeat these 2 rnds 5 (6, 7) more times, then repeat Rnd 2 only 4 (5, 6) times >> 8 sts.

When villians strike they do not mess around.

Shazamm Socks completed!

Edited on 08/24, original post informing completion of first #1 Shazamm sock.

I have now completed my Sazamm socks!
I really enjoyed knitting the intarsia bolt on the flat and the color-worked 'bull's-eye' striped toe!
I am very pleased with them and 'am glad that this pattern by Sandi Rosner inspired me to reignite some long forgotten knitting techniques and skills. In future I will be less fearful of intarsia and color-work!

Shazamm!

Hey All,

Did you all cast on two nights ago? I did!

I must admit, as excited as I am to knit these socks with these amazing colors, I'm a bit nervous. I've been knitting since I was eight, so about 20 years, and colorwork is my nemisis. Despite multiple efforts, it evades me. And that's just stranded colorwork. I've never even tried intarsia. I will conquer my knitting adversary!

Do you have a fiberous foe?

Alakazam and happy knitting!

Mini-skeins

Anyone missing their mini-skeins? Yeah well they are here with us and not with you. I am very sorry. We'll chalk it up to team blue moon being out of sorts. What we'd like to do if it's ok with all of you is to add it to your September shipment. If that is a problem for anyone please do let us know.

When super villians stike they don't mess around do they?

Cold Feet, Sort Of

Hey all.

Seeing as the shipment went out a few days late this month, we're going to delay the cast on day for the KAL just a tad. So, the revised schedule for this month is as follows:

August 15th-1st cast on

August 25th-2nd cast on

September 25th-KAL ends. Post all your lovely pictures!

Happy Knitting!

Super Villian on the loose

I am sure even if you have not gotten your packages yet you have read the dyer's notes. Once you get your skeins you will notice something amiss in our lovely blue moon land. We might just have our own Loki on the loose. As is true with Loki in Thor we might just have our own power hungry villain bent on sock knitting world domination.

As far as we can tell this mysterious troublemaker hit graphic and editing and switched our colorway name from Flash to Bolt in the Dyer's Notes.

Bolt, the ruler of a planet in the Heelious system was occupied in his realm and while we love his work he declined involvement in this project. ( We are not bitter about this at al!) So... of course we then went to our Super buddy, Flash, leader extraordinaire, who was more than happy to be one of our super hues!

Needless to say Flash isn't reall happy about this prank.

Flash would love help in finding this dastardly prankster of a villian and bring him or her to justice. Of ourse this sounded like a job for our Notorious Sock Knitters.

We are searching for his/her name and anything info you can find.

Have you heard the quiet whispers in the night and woken to an unravelled project or have your skeins disappeared. You knew where they were yesterday but today they are gone? Who is this bane of knitters?

Let us know what you've heard. No story is too far fetched. Once we track down all of your leads and find our villian we will award yarn to our Notorious Sock Knitters who helped us solve this super hero dilemma!

Please use the comments here for your sleuthing!

Happy Knitting!!

I just got my new Kit!

I don't want to give too much away. I just wanted to post that I am super happy about receiving my kit! I am so excited and having the hardest time deciding which pattern to knit. I may be lucky enough to do both, who knows?
I am crossing my fingers for everyone to have a mailbox full of Blue Moon goodies today!
Have a great day!

Shipping is next week!

Hello my lovelies!

I just wanted to say howdy before I leave for surgery today. Also I thought I posted about our shipping late date here when I sent out the email to you about it but it looks like I did not. Sorry!!

We are shipping out at the end of next week! As I said in my email we've made a deal with September to play nice so this one will be our late shipment of the year instead of September!

I appreciate your patience!!

I'm pretty stoked about this shipment so I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!!!

Ok... I am off to get rid of this cancer thing! If you have a stitch or two to spare in my name today I would love it!

xoxo

trying to change my photo

I keep trying to delete my photo and upload a new one. Despite all my deletions, the damn bunnies keep returning! I save all my changes, but they seem to do their own thing.

Trying again.

I took a number of photos. I wonder how many I can make show up.

Cheers, Hazel.
