SSYC's two Halloween kits have gone live! If you'd like to read about the details of the Abracadabra Sock Kit or the Trick or Treat Sock Kit, I blogged here about it last week. They just went up for sale, and typically our special edition kits sell out within a day, so I recommend acting quickly if you really want one. They are quite awesome.
I'd love to have more available, but the hand made nature of the kits means that there's only so much I can create. The artisans/crafters/bakers I work with are very accomodating and work to make as many as possible, but I just can't chain them up in my shop and make them design just for me all year long. (I've asked my attorney. He says it's a no-no. But he used more stern words.)
If you'd like to qualify for free US shipping at $85, you might also consider adding on the new Dream Club selection or some of the fabulous sKNITches yarn we have in stock after years without- I have both the striping and the variegated for you.
As usual, we'll also do a Christmasy/wintery kit or two, which will be available later this year.
Thank you so much for making this fun for us! We greatly appreciate how popular our holiday kits are, and I think they are one of the things that makes Simply Socks Yarn Company unique. I look forward to hearing what you think of them when they reach your doorstep!
Hooray - I got my Abracadabra Kit!!
Will you be getting the new Malabrigo Jilly Fall Colors in (three of them)?

Okay, it's your fault. The color name on the Abracadabra ball band is "Abra Abracadabra". Now, I can't get that song out of my head. Curses.

BTW, I LOVE IT ALL, well except for the tasty treat which I don't know because it was quickly gobbled by my teenager. She declared it awesome. I was going to make a Grey Gardens headband with it. Now, I don't know. It's too pretty, and I'm thinking it may just end up in my specimen jar for viewing pleasure for awhile... song still stuck ... "I want to reach out and grab ya".

Ann,
YAY! I'm glad to have cursed you with that song!
If you are in the shop on Saturday, I may have a spare tasty treat for you since your daughter gnabbed yours!
Diane, yep we'll have those colors asap in Jilly.

Allison - thank you SO much for putting this kit together. I got the Abracadabra kit and LOVE IT. The colors are so nice and different. Love the bag - it's super cute and a very nice size just as you described! I love those fabric colors too. Love the Ginger Lime lotion bar and the treat is huge and very, very yummy looking (will give to my daughter who sighed when she saw it - she needs a treat running after her very active 3 year old). The lotion bar - I will take to work and use it there to soothe my hands this fall and winter and give me a nice lift with the beautiful scent. I may knit a nice cowl out of the yarn so I can show it off and have something really pretty and different to wear at work. This kit really is a wonderful treat for me. I really love it very much - you have such great taste!! Thanks for all of the hard work you put into this - everything is absolutely perfect.
