SPUNKY CLUB

This is probably a stupid question to members but I’m to this (have never signed up for a club) and help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Spunky Club
Please remember that the day you sign up is the day you get charged every month. So if you sign up December 22nd then each month you will essentially be paying for your club a full month ahead of time.
What you are paying for now is January’s club, it will be shipped after January 20th 2009

First I opened up about 12 more spots for Octobers club. Congrats to those of you who’s time was up

Club is changing at the end of the year. Here are the details:

The good news is that December 21st the club will be opened to one and all. The bad news is that on the 20th, I’m going to close the club.

Ok, I know that’s confusing.

With all the price increases lately I’ve had to make a decision. We’ve kept the club really low priced for 3 years but I have to change it with the new prices I’m being charged from my suppliers. Not to mention USPS is now raising it’s rates every May. I had to decide if I was going to decrease the weights/yardages of each sub or if I was going to up the rates. Less fiber and yarn seems crazy because less than 4 ounces makes me want to cry unless it’s a luxury.

Here’s what will happen.
All the paypal Subs will be canceled at midnight on December 20th. On December 21st, the new club will open at the new rates and it will be open for one month. This will give all the old club members time to sign up and any one new can jump in too. If you have your club charged directly through me, you will not have to re-enter your information, you will just need to email me and tell me that you still want your subscription. Without an email, I will assume that you wanted out.

You want the new monthly rates that will begin in December?

US:
Single Fiber $18
Double Fiber $34
Triple Fiber $48
Yarn $30
Single fiber plus yarn $43
Double fiber plus yarn $60

International (this includes Canada):
Single Fiber $21
Double Fiber $37
Triple Fiber $52
Yarn $33
Single fiber plus yarn $47
Double fiber plus yarn $65

The club will remain open to everyone that wants to wants to sign up for one month. So December 21 to January 20th anyone can sign up. Then on January 21st it will close again. I’ll be putting in notes in all the packages that go out in November to remind everyone of this change. I know there are a few people that don’t read Ravelry or the club blog.

This yarn was fun to spin - another nice, even low-twist single… The Fair came to town while I was working on it so I had cotton candy on the brain.

 

Super-soft BFL - 99 yards. Might make a cute hat?

I keep thinking there should be enough of this to make a simple top for myself.

My friend just had a baby girl who she named Veronica Rose. Veronica was born to term but was very underweight and had to spend the first two weeks of her life in a hospital. This is no way for a baby to enter the world so I figured I’d knit her something to keep her warm until her baby fat had a chance to develop. I dug through my fiber stash and found Rosebud. I thought it was kismet so I spun a nice woolen 2ply bulky single to knit the trim on a sweater for the new baby. But first I ran the roving through my carder with some Angelina fiber in white gold so that the new baby could sparkle.
