Marie Cashmere is alive. And has a blog. And a dog.
Of course, Marie Cashmere has a blog. Everyone has a blog. I couldn’t think of how else to tell the story of Marie other than just writing it in first person from her perspective and making it a blog. So, The Cashmere Chronicles have begun. Right now there is her ‘About’ page and a single blog post introducing herself and laying the ground work for her story to begin. The question has been posed as to whether she should bring her loyal companion, Grace the Yellow Lab, along with her. If you wouldn’t mind popping over to her blog and letting her know whether you think she should take Grace or leave her behind that would be wonderful. You can participate in the Marie Cashmere story even if you’re not in the Choose Your Own Adventure Club. The more people to participate in this project the better it will be and the more interesting it will become over time.
Speaking of the Choose Your Own Adventure club I’ve added a few ‘pre-adventured’ listings to my www.buydanido.com retail site. These listings are for just the base clubs I offer, no extra goodies and will allow you to just pay through that site without having to get an invoice from me. These are great if you just wanted to do the ‘yarn and/or fiber’ only options and don’t want any of the goodies, stitch markers or other ‘sub-plot’ options. To get this baby rolling if you’re interested in the ‘pre-adventured’ listings you can get 15% off today and through the weekend on those listing by using code ‘cyoakickoff’. This code will expire on Sunday night, so if you want to get in on these listings buy this weekend for that discount. Next week I’ll be sharing a special discount code for the full Choose Your Own Adventure clubbers, so keep checking back. Also, occasionally there will be special discounts offered on the Marie Cashmere blog, so be sure to keep up with her as well for special discount codes.
There’s only 16 days left to get your club listing picked out and paid for to be in on the very first Choose Your Own Adventure shipment starting the first week of September! I’ve stocked up on some great yarn, fiber, goodies, stitch markers from the Twice Sheared Sheep and have lots of ideas for each of the possible ‘themes’.
Later tonight there will be an update on www.buydanido.com with some of my new luxury sock base; an alpaca/cashmere/silk blend as well as a few hanks of lace weight in my Sweet Lace base (merino/silk).
I’ll post pictures of the new yarns tomorrow. In the meantime you may want to check out the newest column for Fiber Friday on HandMadeNews.org. While you’re there maybe you want to check out my Feature article as well: Dive Right In.
