With the new online shop, and it all being in one place, i've decided it will be waaay easier to just blog over on the new site rather than here. For some reason a little beyond my IT expertise, posts here don't always pop up over there.
So from now on, you can find the Knitsch blog in the same place as you can find all the yarny goodies.
Hooray!
If you want to pick it up in your google reader or rss feed, hopefully it should show up if you search for knitsch.co.nz - correct me if i'm wrong, anyone!

A bit fo Vogue knitting
I don't personally subscribe to Vogue (or Designer, depending on where you are from) Knitting, but keep thinking I should.
Until I read Samurai Knitter's HI-larious review.
Dare I say, ew, yuck? I like parts of those stockings - stockings are on my current love list - and the ones featured have moments of great, moments of, um, what?
Anyway. Go read it.
And let's hope Vogue ups the quality of patterns in the next edition.

Flights of Fancy Yarn Club - Round 2!
Ding ding!
Are you keen? Are ya? Well, here's the details:
The important info - what will I get?
The second yarn club will see four installments of yarny goodness sent out over a period of 5 months, at approximately 2 month intervals. Hold on, that doesn't add up... well, one of those packages will contain bonus yarn! Hooray!
As with the first yarn club, you will receive approx 120grams of sock yarn in each of the 3 parcels, and the bonus yarn could be...well, anything! The bonus yarn will be of the same value as the other packages.
You will also get an extra knitty-themed treat and a pdf pattern designed by...could be anyone! I have a few designers in mind, so it will be a special surprise each month.
All yarn colourways will be exclusive to yarn clubbers only.
Mystery Escape vs Plan Ahead
Again, you will have the option to choose a Mystery Escape or to Plan Ahead, with all the excitement of a variegated or semi-solid colourway each month.
Postage dates
Parcels will be sent (approx):
15 January
15 March
15 May
And, um, the cost?
Cost? Isn't Christmas coming up? Can't significant others spring the cost? :D
It will be....
$125.00 for the 4 installations
plus:
postage in NZ: $15
postage Australia: $20
postage ROW: $35
Bear in mind that NZ GST is going up on October 1, which inevitably means a rise in the cost of...everything. Including postage, sad face.
For Australia and overseas, 15% will be removed from the cost of the yarn club.
But, um, don't I have to pay now? And wait aaaaages?
Nope! If you let me know that you're in, i'll add you to the magical list. On November 15 (or thereabouts) I will email out an invoice and payment needs to be received within two weeks.

The new Knitty! Hooray!
Goodness, normally I don't scroll into the reviews section of Knitty, I just jump straight to the patterns.
But then I realised, something important was in there...
I was super super lucky to have a sneak peek at the whole entire amazing book the other weekend, and it truly is a stunner.
But look what Knitty has to say:

But look what Knitty has to say:
"I don't think it would be
overstating it to say it's a masterpiece of the genre."

Now that is something to be proud of. Well done Grandma! And I can confirm we will be stocking this in the online shop somewhere just past the release date (1 November).
If you would like to read the rest of the review, you need to go here, and scroll a wee way down for it. Take note of Cookie A's Knit. Sock. Love while you're at it!
