Best laid plans and all…
First piece of business today is sock club. So, for everyone waiting for the The Notorious Sock Knitters World Domination Tour tickets to go on sale ( Sock club registration to go live) deep cleansing breaths. We are tweaking the system a bit so it works exactly how we want it to and makes this a more streamlined process for us all.
We believe that it will be up this afternoon. I will post here and on the RSC blog when it is live. WE ARE LIVE NOW!!!
Second piece of business is all of the sale orders.
The Pacific Northwest has been hit with a winter storm. We have been working around the clock to get as many of this massive pile of orders out before the holidays as possible. And then what happens? Of course it snows and freezes and I mean freezes. It is really cold. I see that we are not the only ones with this extreme winter experience right now. Brrrrr….. Oh and Mother Nature you have some impeccable timing honey. Truly my warm and toasty hand knit socks off to you. Way to go.
It is still our goal to get as many out as possible,but… it is becoming increasing difficult to do.
Especially with no elves, the sleigh is in the shop for repairs and the reindeer have some mysterious malady.
Please bear with us. Blue Moon is located at a high elevation so we get hit pretty hard, making it an exciting adventure just to get to work.There have been days when the UPS truck will not even deliver here. So… that is the news form blue moon land where the weather is cold and frosty and the barn is full of wool. At least there is wool, where there is wool there is warm.
Stay warm!

We know that you are able to pull off fantastic feets of legerdemain. As much as we all pant for new yarn in the stashes we can wait.
Thanks
I was wondering why the sock club registration wasn’t up yet—no worries! I’ll keep checking back.
And as for my sale order – I don’t really need it until February, so I can be patient. No rush on my end.
I know the feeling. We got a ton of snow down here in Hillsboro and the 6 yr old is home instead of at school. I still am working on this year’s socks. Stay warm up there.
Tina, We have 250,000 homes without power here, so I can completely sympathize with your situation! Mine were not Christmas orders, so I am not at all concerned about the order being delayed. Please stay warm and safe!
the sock club…. not that *is* something I’m on the edge of my seat for!
hugs,
Sophia
Tina – can you hear me?
Breathe, breathe and breathe-
refresh, refresh and refresh
Breathe, breathe and breathe
This is my morning. Waiting for appropriate link in appropriate place to be enlivened. Registration not ready for 2009 RSC = bad hair day.
Trying to work. Production nil.
Breathe, breathe . . . .
Refresh . . .
I started at 4:00 am with this breathing and refreshing. My brain is so totally oxygenated I am sure I can remember nothing prior to 4:00 am

Elevation 10,500 feet above sea level, temp this morning was -18. Stay warm. I’ll keep checking back for the sign-up.
I opted to use the 10% RSC coupon because I was impatient and I received my yarn last week. Oh happy days!
Now back to knitting the last of my socks from 2008 RSC! (July kit, in case you’re wondering.)
Thank you for the information! I really appreciate all the hard work you guys go through to get us such great yarns!
(Seattle is pretty cold, too – even near sea level!!)
*waiting patiently for RSC to open*..
Like so many others, I’m on pins and needles for the sock club! I should be studying for finals, but I’m doing more important things like waiting for the 2009 RSC to open. *grin* Quality yarn is always worth the wait!!!
Hope all is going well weather wise! Stay safe and warm!!!
I pretty stuck in my house right now because I don’t have snow tires or chains. Because how often do we actually need them here?
But I’ve looked around at my stash, and I think I have enough sock yarn to last me until… warmer places than Scappoose freeze over. So take it easy and be safe and warm. All will wait until yarn can be mailed and delivered safely.
Please post a picture of your snow! In SE pdx, it just blew around and didn’t build up much.
Sometimes I’m sad I moved to town… like when my bus is running so I have to go to work (instead of being able to sit by the fire and knit!)
I’ve been sitting at my computer for 6 hours now – periodically checking to see if STR registration is live yet. I’m afraid if I leave for too long, I’ll miss it. Any better idea about when it’ll go live? I’d hate to miss it because I went to the health club & hate to sit here & NOT go to the health club & still not get to register.
It will be at least another hour.So go tot he club.
Will post snow soon.
I placed two orders, so that’s two you ladies don’t have to worry about until after Christmas (it was all for me!). Stay warm!! Have the girls build a snowman and decorate him with handknits
big hugs!!
I wish we could afford the sock club this year, what a line-up you are having! I’ll have to look forward to seeing everyone’s projects as they unfold.
Stay warm and safe out there in Scappose!
🙁 I just tried to place an International order but every card I tried was declined… can I pay by PayPal?
My order from Canada was also declined. I buy from the US with a Canadian credit card all the time so I assume it is a website glitch?
I also am from Canada and have tried several credit cards and all are declined…I am also assuming this is a website glitch. What should I do?
I also am in Canada and was declined repeatedly. I wondered if it was just because the site is overloaded with eager knitters, but now I see others have had the same problem. Perhaps more tweaking?
My transaction is being repeatedly declined as well, and I am in the US. So it’s not just international transactions. Help!
I just tried with 3 different cards that all have room and they all are being declined. I wonder if we already broke it? Rough Monday all around.
As is the case with the others, patiently awaiting the ability to enter my credit card info for a Canadian order. Taking as deep a cleansing breath as my cold will allow
Just completed the transaction & it appears card was accepted,
so are you REALLY live?
Am I in?
My two orders were also for me, so no rush there. While I am always happy to see your incredible sock yarn in my mailbox, I have plenty of other projects I need to finish, not to mention all of the holiday baking! Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the holidays.
