things…

There has been so much piling up this week that I wanted share and have not got around to so here we go all in one fell swoop. Maybe I need to add this to Fridays. A sort of a reflecting on the week piece.

I have creating new colour this week or trying to. It is hard for me to this without a big chunk of time. Stopping and starting over and over and hey over again kind of messes with my mojo.  So I did not get as much done as I wanted to.
I did get the Ravelympics colourways done for Team Blue Moon.  I could not stick to one. I thought there needed to be a multi and a shaded solid and I love them both but adore the shaded solid.
They need names and I thought maybe you would like to name them so here is where we are leaning.  Just post in the comments section in you agree or not and if you have another suggestion please let us know.
There is not a whole lot of time for voting and all that so I think we will just go with the one that is repeated the most.

So let us know. We will choose on Monday and put these up on the website Tuesday(19th).

Two of our favorite visitors came by this week. Hazel and her mom Shannon owner of Twisted in pdx.  Sorry Shannon. You know I love you but Hazel well… you know I have a thing for your daughter.
You can see why right?

We have been putting the finishing touches on the Camp part of the Rockin’ Sock Club site. There is a small post and a link to info on the sock club blog if you are interested.
It’s been a crazy busy week here at blue moon.  It usually is and honestly at this point in time we will take it and feel grateful.
Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. I plan on making more colour all by myself. WooHoo.

depraved dyer

we are golden

I thought you might like to see some of my inspiration for the next wave of colour creating here.  Notice I said some. I promise it is not all saffron jungles in my brain just predominantly so this week. It is very dreary here in the Pacific Northwest.
I am also having some fuschia thoughts and maybe some limey lemongrass ones and a few hazy grey-lavender ones with the springy green of growth thrown in for good measure.
I just thought maybe we all might need a bit of warmth and light.

So…

and… in the colour coded coping system this lovely golden box would be “save until time to savour”.

Colour changes coming…

I know it is hard to believe, but spring is just around the corner and following right on its heels, summer. I swear this is true.  We all know what this means. Time to switch out the colours on the website.
I think we can all agree it’s time.
So here is the list of colours we are giving some time off and you can make suggestions here in the comments of colourways you would like see.
