Guess what I discovered today? There is such thing as a yarn of the month club. Not just one, but a lot. Different manufacturers have their own yarn of the month clubs. There is one official "Yarn of the month" club and they send out samples of different varieties. That particular one is pretty cheap, especially compared to other "of the month" clubs that I have purchased for others such as beer, cheese, chocolate, etc.
Anyway, with a bit of the profits from my new direct sales endeavor, I decided to join a yarn of the month club. I decided to go with one from www.threeirishgirls.com. I picked it because I do get to pick from a couple color options, it is a different fiber type every month and if I wanted to order more of the color to make a bigger project, I can at a discounted price. So anyway, that was my decision. I had to jump on it because they sell out. Can you believe it? Some people are very loyal to their yarn of the month club, I discovered, so you kind of have to wait for people to drop out to get a spot.
I am hoping to try some new projects. I have been in a rut with blankets and hats. I need to branch out. I am looking forward to something being picked for me and I just have to figure out what to do with it. It is a challenge. I am intrigued. Maybe yarn of the month club subscriptions will be my new go to gift request!
I got invited to drop in and knit over the next couple weeks at a friends house. I am hoping to finish this blanket that is my nemesis and get my first delivery of yarn so I can make something for Ava for Christmas. So stay tuned. I will share my new yarns and projects for those who are interested.
