I love this time of year!  The changing of the colours is so exciting.  Sad to see favourites go, but happy to meet new ones and welcome old ones back.

Can I request Chickabiddy, Fairgrounds, Seastone, Dixie Chicks?

I don’t know if this was a colorway but I keep looking through BMFA for a Lemon Yellow semi solid.  I have Sunstone and that is too golden.  I want a lighter yellow, just a basic yellow that is light and semi solid.  (not like Hoofle Foofle, I have that too and it is not that lemon color or banana color)
Thank you

I’d love to see Sherbet and Thistle make an encore appearance.  And yesterday when I was knitting with Pride, I realized I was loving the way the aqua, yellow and orange colors were stacking up - any chance of seeing that in a future colorway?  Can’t wait to see what comes next!

As always I love every colorway offered, though if you brought back Fairgrounds,Cracked Canyon, Chickabiddy, and possibly Backstabber I’d permanently let BMFA have access to my bank’s routing number.

Thanks for the heads up--I just restocked Bleeding Hearts, which is one of the all-time-best colorways.  I’d like to see more colorways with lots of vivid red.  And I’m still eagerly awaiting the arrival of Prickly Pear.

I can’t wait to see the new colors!  Although I must say I am still basking in the glow of all the new coastal/beachy ones you just released recently.

But I wonder, will we ever see you re-visit your uncomfortable color red and see something more neutral, less warm, almost true red?  But not so blue it goes pink like Lover’s Leap.  Love Brick but it’s on the orange side and we all know Just Right Red is really Just to the Right of Red (aka Orange)!

I love, love, love your colorways (so much color: bright, jewel, neutral, ...)!  Reds, rust orange, greens, on and on ... I love them all.  So more of those, but I would love to see more shaded solids too.  There are so many new patterns with lots of texture that would show up in more shaded colorways.

Braun’s Woods? Pixie Park? Storytime, Treehugger, and Cobblestone City? These are all intriguing names for colorways I haven’t yet seen.

Where have *I* been?

I was just introduced to Blue Moon Fiber Arts at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this past May. I wasn’t quite sure what the fuss was all about so I purchased two Mill Ends in the medium weight for a pair of socks. Well, now I’m hooked and I’m the proud owner of five skeins. I LOVE Heartthrob what a beautiful colorway. I like all of the colorways some more than others. So I need to hurry up and purchase: Cobblestone County and Lochness. I can’t wait so see them in person.

Add me to the list of people who are looking for chickabiddy!  I love that combination of colors.

Oh, I hate to see these colors go… But, I’d love to see some lucious, rich browns.  Chocolate:  Light chocolate.  Dark chocolate. (I’m seeing a Cherry Cordial with delicious reds and pinks and chocolate browns.) Or Espresso.  OR Cafe’ au Late.  Or Mahogany.  OR Teak.  You get the idea.  There is such a lack of browns in the sock yarn pantheon, and if anybody could do it well, you could...Keep up the good work!

You mean nobody’s noticed the twitch? The fingernail chewing, the glazed look in your eye, the listless movements? Surely Deb, Becky and Annalea have been looking at you strangely and making pointed suggestions about going to the dye pots. Way past time to go get the “book” and go have some FUN! Go forth with haste and be the depraved dyer we all love and know so well.
I have no suggestions for returning colorways as I get to play with dye this weekend at Iowa Sheep and Wool. Also I’ll just see what Toni has in her shop tomorrow. Can you say Road Trip? Marengo to Marengo. Love it and you. Hugs, Alice

I would like to see a deeper pink/orchid shaded solid come back.  Did you have a Bosenberry colorway at one time?  When knitting with some colorways such as Watermelon Tourmaline or Dutch Canyon I would like to have a shaded solid to use like the darker pink in those colorways for trim or a contrast color.  Thank you.

Dear Santa...oops, Tina:
These are my wishes:  Olive Garden, Chickabiddy, Backstabber. 

I have been a reeeeeally good girl this year.  I fondle all my STR and even knit with it sometimes.  I always keep it picked up, esp. after rolling in it on the floor.  I’ll try to do better next year, and place orders as often as possible.  I’ll even try to cook dinner for my family sometimes instead of knitting.  oxo, jmcmjoan
