Club renewals and a shop update soon!

Hi everyone!

Those of you in the GothSock club should be getting paypal invoices over the next week (depending on when you signed up) If for some reason your account got canceled by paypal and you want to stay in (it usually happens when you update payment info in your account. Paypal likes to cancel everything even if you didn't want to!) Just send me a quick email and I'll start sending out renewal links for you!.

I'll figure out after the 24th how many club openings there will be and announce it in here and the shop for you to send me you email to get into the lottery for it (NOT NOW! I'll announce it! Please don't send me your email info yet. You won't be included in the lottery that way! It will only be for the days I announce) I'll be accepting emails for that over the course of 2-3 days and then do a random number generator for the slots open. I thought that was really the fairest way to do it because there are only a few open.

In shop news, I will be doing another update in a week or so. I am working out the details and dyeing up the yarn and will let everyone know when it's all ready!

Thanks for looking and I'll pop back in an let everyone know when the update will be and when the club slots are available!

MYSTERY SKEIN SALE! July 28 at 10am PST

SHOP UPDATE WEDNESDAY JULY 28th at 10AM PST!!!

This update will be unique in that I'm moving into my studio and have tons of sample dyed skeins that I've over dyed and DON'T WANNA MOVE!!!

It'll be a grab bag/mystery skein sale! What this means is this...I have Gothlings, GothSocks, Test dyed yarns, original fuwa fuwa base yarns etc. that will all be in 1 listing. All yarns regardless of the fiber content will be a flat rate of $25. This means some of you are going to score some GothSocks for cheaps...altho most skeins I have are merino based or bamboo, BFL or other wools Gothlings. I have some Gilded skeins in here as well. So if you're into getting surprise yarns in your mail box...this is the sale for you. Almost all yarns will be OOAK over dyed that will be labeled "Dark & Twisty". I cannot repeat these. You won't know what you're getting until you've gotten it :) Kinda fun right? PLEASE LIMIT YOUR PURCHASE TO 2 SKEINS PER CUSTOMER!!! (Since there aren't "colorways" this update I'm simply asking that you limit yourself to 2. If you do get 2 skeins I am not guaranteeing that both will be the same dye lot, colorway or even remotely match. Most are OOAK skeins!!!) Next update will be a regular GothSock update that will be after the first of the month (once club yarns are out the door)

In this update you will get whatever skeins I grab. And like I said...most are non repeatable! So if you like living on the edge and want a surprise then make sure to grab a skein!

Thanks everyone and tune in and THE SHOP at 10am on Wed. July 28th for the grab bag fun!

Colorways for July 10th Update at 11am PST!

The large batch of OMG will be…..drum roll….

Nana’s Tea Party!!!

I will also be doing smaller batches of these new colors:

Um from Umbridge (deep red stripe with a contrast white and black speckled stripe)
Mad as a Hatter (Bright orange stripe with a contrast blue,pink and purple stripe)
When Life Gives you Lemons(bright yellow stripe with a contrast white stripe)

The Nana’s Tea Party will be on the MCN base all others will be on the tighter twist 100% merino.

I will try to get some gothlings in here as well….not sure what colors yet. It all depends on whether or not I pass out from heat stroke. :)

(After all the update stuff is done I’m revamping my base yarn line names. It’s going to be soooo cool and really make a lot more sense for everyone instead of me always saying “tighter twist this” and “BFL that” or whatever. I’m working out the details and will be able to put all the finishing touches on it after the update and everyrthing is sent out. Trust me. You guys will like what I’ve come up with for base yarn names. I LOVE them so I think you all will too)

And please remember that this update is running a little different than the others and I am asking that you limit yourselves to 2 skeins of each colorway. This gives more people a chance to grab a skein. I will be refunding those that go over which will be a headache for all of us so PLEASE DON'T!!! I'm begging you guys :) Thanks!! And see you on Saturday at 11am PST!!!

Shop Update July 10th at 11am PST!

Hello everyone!! I'm here! I'm alive! I've been swallowed by yarn!! Well...no. Not really :)

Just wanted to announce that I'll be doing the first of several shop updates on July 10th at 11am PST. It's a Saturday, so mark your calenders now!

I will be doing this update differently so that more people have the opportunity to grab a skein or 2.

I'll be doing a large listing of 1 colorway and then will have several others with fewer skeins. But with 40-50 skeins of 1 color should give more people a chance to get atleast 1 skein. I'm also going to be asking that you limit the amount of each colorway you can purchase to just 2 skeins each (you can buy multiple colorways...just not 4-5 skeins of each. If that makes any sense.Any questions feel free to email me!) I will do refunds and restock the store accordingly if more than 2 skeins of a colorway are purchased. This will be annoying for everyone involved so I'm asking upfront to please not buy more than your share of each color. :) Make sense? This way more people can have a chance but each of you can still buy more than 1 skein if you want to do bigger projects.

I'll announce in a day or so what the colorways in this update will be. I'll be doing another colorway about a week later...but i haven't worked out the exact date yet. I'll update you all in here when I do!

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to come by the SHOP on Saturday the 10th at 11am!!

GothSock club Signups!

ALL SPOTS ARE FILLED! THANKS EVERYONE FOR SIGNING UP. YOU'LL BE GETTING A WELCOME EMAIL SHORTLY.

It's time! Here is your sign up links and club details :)

First up let's just recap a little about this next club because it will be a little different than the other clubs I've run.
Things that will be changing in this next club are these:

1. I will be billing quarterly for the club and membership will now be perpetual for as long as you want to stay in. What this means is that the subscription to the club will be for as long as you want it. Payment will come out in full for each 3 month allotment. Payments will come out the same day as you signed up (First initial payment will come out when you sign up and then every third month until you unsubscribe)

What this does is make it much easier for me to keep track of paperwork, and it also alleviates the need to keep signing up for you guys. You can stay in as long as you like!

2. Each quarter will include the following - 1 Black Striped GothSock, 1 Non-Black Striped GothSock and 1 Gothling. Each quarter will include at least 1 luxury base yarn. Luxury bases are the OhMyGoth Cashmere or the Gilded with Silver. The other 2 months of each quarter will be an assortment of merino, BFL, or a surprise yarn base of my choosing. I will also be including swag from time to time but not every month. I want the emphasis to remain on the yarn itself.

This club will start July 2010 and run for as long as you want.

I do try to get club yarns out the first week of the month. Sometimes this can't happen because of family and kids. I will *always* keep you notified if I'm running behind.

Now for the links:

USA - $108 billed at sign up and again every 3 months

CANADIAN - $110 billed at sign up and again every 3 months.


INTERNATIONAL- $114 at sign up and again every 3 months

WA state residents please add 9.5% sales tax. (Tax will not automatically be added through paypal and you will get a second invoice from me for it. Sorry about the inconvenience but it's the only way I can make it work! I will be sending your invoices very soon after everyone has signed up. )

*IMPORTANT NOTICE* If you change your address anytime during the club or change your paypal information, email me directly. Paypal does not inform me of changes, only cancellations which can occur even when you are just changing your bank info. If you need me to mail your package to a different address, you must give me sufficient notice and email. If not, I will always send to the paypal address in your original subscription sign up.

All the above links will remain active until all spots are filled. Once they are filled the links will no longer work and will tell you that all items are sold out. I will send out notices every 3 months if there are any spots available and inform you of them here on the blog. If you aren't already signed up for the newletter please sign up for it in the upper right side bar!! You'll get shop update news and other info for upcoming events.
