Chippy Sock Order Information
Sunday, June 1st, 2008I’ve had a few emails asking how to order a Chippy Sock pattern. You can click the link above (or the photo) to access my shopping cart, and pre-order. The pattern should be done in the next few days.
If you are eager to get it very quickly, you can put a note in the order/purchase screen on my site. This way I can email you a PDF document if you prefer, rather than sending you a paper copy through the mail.
Usually I have downloads through KnittingZone and I will do that within the next few weeks, but for now this is the only way to get an electronic version. (For those who have asked, right now Ravelry allows me to offer only free downloaded patterns, nothing for sale at this time.)
For the record, I will be at a yarn-industry trade show, TNNA in Columbus, Ohio, from Thursday through Monday. That’s June 5-9. I will be online a bit less there than usual. I’m told we will have free internet access in our hotel room. However, we never really know what kind of access and timing there might be with internet when traveling, no matter how much we would like to be sure.
If you order with no note by 11pm on Wednesday all will be “normal” (paper mail through USPS, from Lansing). I *am* taking a stock of patterns with me to mail from Columbus and we’ll see if I can keep things up as quickly as possible while I’m on the road.
This pattern calls for DK-weight yarn, at 6.25st/inch. The socks pictured here were knit in Cascade Fixation cotton/elastic yarn. They were knit over a year ago, and I am not sure of the color numbers. Turquoise is clearly 2706… but the pinkish color is more magenta than the other “hot pink” color which is closest to it (I have used both), yet I only see one bright pinkish color on their site (or Yarndex, or Ravelry for that matter). The yellow is yellow-green, and I think it is color 5806.
