A little hiccup

Okay, so my brilliant plan to have reservations cost 20 cents on Etsy and then send out paypal invoices for the full price of the club in mid February has come to a bit of a standstill. I received an email from Etsy today telling me that that wasn’t allowed. So I took down the Etsy listing for the reservations and have added a listing for the full purchase price at the bottom of the Rock Your Socks Off club page. If you would like to participate in the club but cannot buy the full subscription right now please email me at daniella@danido.com or join the mailing list here on the site (it’s in the left hand side bar).

Those of you who already purchased the 20 cent listing through Etsy will still receive an invoice in mid February from PayPal unless you choose to just buy the listing here on the site ahead of time. Please! If you do this email me immediately so I do not send you an invoice as well! I do not want to double bill anyone.

Currently we still have 15 slots available out of the original 25. While I would be absolutely over joyed if all 25 of those slots where filled up and I was ‘forced’ (twist my arm why dontcha!) to offer more, I highly doubt that will be the case in this first offering of the club. I am so excited to see that people have taken an interest in the club and that we’ve sold the 10 slots that we have. I am very excited to get started dying for our first month, which should happen mid February. In addition to the goodies that will go out in the boxes I also plan to do a little video each month explaining why I chose the band or artist I did and telling a little bit about the story behind the musician represented. I am a big music nerd so the more often I get to show off my inane trivia skills the better for me. This video will be available to everyone not just the club subscribers, and while you may see images of the yarn going out to the subscribers the goodies will remain private until the subscribers themselves reveal them if they choose.

Also, keep in mind that the contest that is currently running through the 26 has several categories of winners! The main winner will be chosen based off their winning description of a musically inspired colorway, however there are other ways to win as well! If you blog about this contest or the club itself on your blog email me a link and you will be entered to win a secondary prize (see this post for specifics.), only one person has emailed me that they mentioned the contest on their blog! So if you have, be sure to let me know so I can enter you in the pool for the secondary prize. The third way you can win is if you get someone to sign up for a spot in the club (which means at this point that they email me with intent to purchase in Feb.) you will be assured a hank of yarn from my stash. This is good for as many people as get someone else to sign up, all they have to do is mention your name and email address when they sign up for the club. I will then contact you directly to get shipping information to send you your free hank of yarn. I have to clear out my stash anyways, so if 15 people all convince a friend to sign up for the club, I will give away 15 hanks of yarn from my stash. I’ve got some great hanks of Berroco Peruvia that are earmarked for give away, as well as some Lornas Laces, a hank of Malabrigo Worsted Merino and some Berroco Jasper too.

Okay enough pimping of the sock club. On to more ridiculous with Loud and Mouthy!

There’s some talking about politics (as I type this I am watching former President Bush fly away in a helicopter and just wiped away the tears of joy from watching President Obama be sworn in), another little shout out to Stephanie from Handknit Heroes, I show off the little bunny I knit up by Heather at Joeys House and of course we talked more about how awesome the Phat Fiber box was.

Here’s my Bun Bun:

He’s knit from Noelles Noodles in her Nightshade colorway (I purchased this yarn from Eat.Sleep.Knit) and I am already knitting another one from some scrap Lornas Laces Shepard Sock I had lying around.
