It's time to preview Simply Socks Yarn Company's Valentine Sock Kit! This one is quite special because it includes a super cool knitting themed mug. I had so many compliments about the 500 free bags we gave out this summer celebrating our revamped website, that I had the design printed onto these large coffee mugs. Then Meagan at The Cyborg's Craft Room created a special edition colorway inspired by the design. Together, these make a beautiful statement.
I'm actually knitting Maegan's Assockilate sock yarn base right now in another color, Element, and I love the wonderful stitch deinfition. And you know me, I don't often knit stuff that will require any fuss. This sock yarn can go in the washer on a regular basis (please use a mesh lingerie bag to avoid snagson zipper or velcro).
And what is Valentine's Day without chocolate? Definitely not one that I want to be involved with! So the kit is completed with a decadent 4-truffle box from local Debrand Fine Chocolates. I may have eaten a few of these truffles, just to make sure that the quality is perfect for you. And I may be eating several more. They are SO GOOD. I'm a selfless person for eating all this chocolate, aren't I?
This kit is priced lower than many of our other kits, so I know that will be a big plus for those who want something super awesome but still want to stay in a particular budget. The price for this kit is under $50, which is rare for our special edition kits.
The kit will be released in two batches, likely separated by a week. Because of the manner in which each kit needs to be carefully packaged to protect the mug, it will be easier for us to do this in two batches. I expect the first half of the kits to go up for sale on the morning of Tuesday, January 13, and the second batch around a week later. Please keep in mind that quantity is always limited because of the handcrafted nature of the kits. If the first batch sells out quickly (typically our kits sell out in the same day they are released) just know that you'll have a second chance. Our kits have been selling out in 3-5 hours in the past year.
I'm determined to get one this time around! :)

Very nice! Is the yarn going to be enough to make a pair of socks?

Has anybody else seen the Bodice Rippers pattern on Rav? Okay, the name cracks me up, but it has little cable hearts on it. Looks perfect for a Valentine knit.
