Presenting the Magic Carpet Ride Sock Club!

Hold onto your edges; the carpet is about to take off!

YarnYenta and I are once again collaborating on a sock club, The Magic Carpet Ride!

Yes! A new sock club to begin in Sept, 2010! Shipments in the middle - end of Sept, Oct, and Nov! YarnYenta and I have joined forces to bring you socks and yarns based on Oriental Rugs. She'll do the designs and I'll do the dyeing.

The particulars:

3 months: Sept, Oct, Nov (middle - end of the month).
3 glorious new sock patterns designed by the inimitable YarnYenta!
3 stunning new rug colorways dyed by me.

Yarns? I have a lot to choose from and have not decided yet, but you know that they are all lovely because I wouldn't knit on them if they were not.

Cost? $86 for the, USA and Canada. Everywhere else is $90 (to cover First Class International shipment.)
Payment is done all at once, and not pay-as-you-go. I'll need payment by Sept 10 to make sure that I have enough to dye up the yarn.

Extra goodies? Nope. I don't like them, and don't send them, and anyhow, if it costs me to send them, then I have to add that cost to the club. We are a no-frills club, but we are sending you what counts: wonderful yarns and patterns!

Sign up: Any time from this blog and Etsy which is self-explanatory.

Wicked Women Sock and Scarf Club!

Sign-ups end on August 10. I need some advance time to do the dyeing.

Here's the scoop:

Wicked Women Sock and Scarf Club

Moody, dangerous colors! Diabolical patterns! Mwahahahaha!

3 alternate months of yarns & patterns.

What: Evil yarns and/or patterns. two sock ones designed by 2 devious, wicked designers: Hunter and YarnYenta, and a scarf designed by me.

When: Mid-Sept, mid-Nov, mid-Jan. 2 with enough time to do a bit of holiday knitting, and one for when we can all breathe again.

Cost: $90, which includes Priority Mail shipping to the US, first-class international shipping to Canada, and first class international to Europe and beyond.

What you will receive: yarn, of course, pattern either hard copy or emailed PDF, if you prefer. No goodies, surprises, stitch markers, candy, tea, no nothing but the essential goodness of my yarn and our patterns. I don't do elegant fancy wrapping or enclose extras because I don't care about them, and I want this to be easy on your pocketbook. You pay for extras, so I don't include them. Wicked me.

Why do you want to do this? How can you resist the call of Wicked Women?

How to sign up: email me directly at:

I'll ask for your address and paypal account number and will invoice you. If you need me to wait until mid-late August to invoice, that's fine. I just need to know who is interested so that I can do my planning, yarn ordering, etc. etc.

Thanks of course.

With an evil laugh, Mwahahahaha,

ruth the Transylvania Terror. or something like that.
