Upgrade update

Amazing what a few hours of sleep will do.

The pictures of the colorways are a bit off. They are showing as washed out and not their true vibrant saturated selves.
We are working on this and I hope to have it fixed soon.  I apologize this is certainly not how I like this to roll.

We still have to add the Grinchy kit and pattern otherwise I believe everything is there.  Just not accurately colored.
More testing and proofing today.

Dudette 1 and 2

It was so interesting and entertaining to see all of the responses to choosing which Dudette for the Dude. It also backfired on me.
I really do need to watch how many colors are available on the site because of time, space ...  just the reality of making everything work well.
As I was reading through your responses,I felt so thrilled that some of you were getting the dilemma I have in choosing between colors. However the more I read the more I realized there was no way I could not put both of them up.
I do not like sad knitters and certainly not my knitters. (Did you know you were my knitters?)

So the surprise is, The Cookie Next Door, is actually Dudette 2. Which means they are both present and accounted for!!

Personally,while I like them both I have to say, and this shocked me completely. I prefer The Cookie Next Door.  ( I know! hehe ) Never going to get tired of hearing that one.

Below are swatches of the them both. Could not resist.
I have to confess to knitting Cookie first.  I had to she was taunting me. Whispering my name every time I walked by the basket.  And no, I could not have moved the basket.
You should have heard it, “Come on, knit me you know you want to. Look at this pink ( the color you say you do not like but is everywhere on the site) and brown, don’t you want to see what they will do together in stitches.” On and on it went.  I admit it I am weak.

So very,very weak!

Knock on wood!

I know, that by saying this out loud, I am inviting the chaos of the cosmos to rain it’s fury down blue moon’s way today.
Nonetheless, here goes. We are on schedule (pause, wait for it… oooh is that thunder?) and today jb and I will be uploading images and info onto the site.
This will take hours.
(In reality we are having thunder storms today so who knows.)

So, while we are doing this anyone want to count the votes on the dudettes?
hmmmm… you know you do.

Website uploading tunes to start...ooh, I know, The Commitments.

I will yell when we are done.  Please wait to order until then. Combining orders in this system--not possible.

And I have a surprise. So if you do not peak it actually will be a surprise.

ok

Spreading my disease

or sharing the love? You decide.  Below you will find two versions of Gingerbread Dudette. Long awaited companion for Gingerbread Dude. I keep my promises!
He and I cannot choose between these two lovelies, they both are so sweet. Since we can only have one of them this go around, you get to choose.
Which one would you like to see go up on the site on Monday (or Tuesday)?
They are labeled 1 and 2.  Put your vote in the comments.  Then when the update is done you will see which Dudette is going to hang with the Dude this season.

Dudette 1

Dudette2

I will be very interested to see how this plays out. The one I chose is completely out of character for me.
Actually that is why there are two of them. The one I did first was really not my cup of tea, so I made another.
ok, yarn ball in your court!
