Cute cute cute CUTE, dangnabbit!

I got these gems in the post yesterday - just absolutely adorable and to die for.

If you haven't heard of Karatstix, you probably soon will - Lime & Violet have some of her great Sock's Rule and Cuff Rules on their Daily Chum. I've been working Karen, the artistic genius behind Karatstix, to create these exclusive Socktopod's Rules. A handy dandy (cute. so cute. crazy crazy cute) needle gauge, with a very useful 1" rule at the back. Made from renewable bamboo, so nice and light, as well as earth friendly, with artwork designed and hand coloured by Karen herself, these are really the bees knees. I know I've said they're cute, but.... well, I'll say it again. Insanely cute. Coolest things ever. When I opened up her parcel, I giggled like a maniac for a good 5 minutes. Poor hubby thought I'd lost my mind. Maybe just a wee bit....

Ahem. These will be in stock at the end of August.

And I will also be getting these -

Perfect ABCD sets for Cat Bordhi-esque sock creations. Nice and light and again super super cute. A choice of either little white sheep, or a dastardly devilish skull & cross bones.

Now I don't mean to be a total tease - showing you these and then making you wait. I actually do have Karen's great WPI tools in stock now. Spinners take note! I've got Sheep to Socks and Baa Baa sheep styles with a very useful key ring.

And if you wanted a little pouch to carry it around in, you can't go wrong with a nice clear Socktopus Knit Bits case to carry it around!

They are fab and I am going to have to have a complete set with sheep on. That's the WIP and the rule and little markers. Hurray. They are just so cool.

Please can you explain what the members club thingies are in your store please? Is that for us to renew?

Also how much do I owe you at the end of August for the retreat. I forget and need to budget!

Wonderful, well done!
