f you happend to wander into the SSYC booth at the Sock Summit, it's likely you didn't leave without an adorable, handmade sock project bag from Silver Moon Studio. These were a a big hit at the booth, not only because they are beautiful and reversible, but because the price is great. For only $20 you get two bags in one.
Now I have several of Stacey's designs here for you in the store, a few holiday designs, and some everyday designs. And if you have already ordered the Joyeux Noel knit kit, then you are getting a special edition bag.
I've been using one for my sock projects since Stacey first sent me on this summer. The bag neatly fits my ball of yarn and needles, and it closes simply by pulling the large wrist strap through a small loop. If you are in the car or soccer stand, you can wear the bag on your wrist and then don't have to worry about dropping it and having your yarn roll somewehre unreachable. It really is a fabulously simple solution to an annoying problem.
Other new arrivals include new colors of Tilli Tomas' Milan sock yarn. The three colors I just got in are Hydrangea, Peonies, and Floral Fury. And for those of you waiting for more of the American Beauty color I used for my second pair of Lepidoptera Mitts, I have more of that for you as well. You only need one skein for the mitts, so it's a gorgeous and luxurious gift for those of us who are last-minute knitters. Ahem.
I also have new colors from Pagewood Farms in their Denali (wool/nylon), Alyeksa (wool/cashmere/nylon) and St. Elias (BFL/nylon)- shown here in Forest Camo, Navajo & Peaceful
Finally, I have received more Dream in Color Starry. After the Yarn Harlot blogged that she was knitting a sock in Starry, it seemed to fly out of here all on its own. But now I have more, including the special 2009 color, Plum Paisley. I even have the new 2010 color, Prairie Grass in both Smooshy and Starry.... but I don't have those photoed yet, so give me a day or two and you'll see those pop up on the website.
WOW! What a post! I was just adding links to SSYC to my blog and finishing up a couple of posts (you know why I'm waaaay behind on blogging). I was testing the links and saw this your Silver Moon Studio post! Thanks so much for the shout out! Okay, back to the sewing machine for me!

I don't decorate any longer unless the grandchildren come to visit. But I make
them socks & mail them up north.
