My first order at knitpicks

General Knitting
1

After seeing every ones stash pictures I had to add to mine I ordered the sampler of simple stripes sock yarn that is 16 balls :shock: Oh lord what have I done!!! :doh:

2

You’ve done the right thing, trust me. :rofling: Hope you like knitting socks!!

3

I have only done one pair but I want to learn the 2 at once toe up pattern

4

The best part will be when you see the box in your mailbox/on your step. I get so excited when I get new yarn in the mail! Silly, but true!

5

I am already waiting anxiously trust me my husbank is going to build me a wooden chest for my yarn too I am thinking cedar I have so much to wait for I hate waiting. :frowning:

6

Me, too! I have a window box that’s lined with cedar. It leaves a really strong smell on the blankets and things I put in there. So much so that I have to wash them before they’re used. Something to keep in mind.

7

Good call Ingrid I have a thing for strong smells thanks for the heads up .

I placed my first order with Knitpicks and was so pleased with the rapid delivery of my items. :slight_smile: I received my order in less than a week-and that was because of a Monday holiday!

I ordered 7 skeins of sock yarn…but I have a feeling there will be more ordered in the near future! :XX:

I was || this close to ordering the sampler pack…however I thought it better I knit my first pair of socks before ordering the sampler pack.

I have become SCARILY addicted to yarn. I buy more than my hands can knit.

I now have enough yarn for at least 5 projects. I only started knitting 8 months ago.

Yarn buying is a sickness. I am currently awaiting a shipment from KnitPicks.

It’s ok though, we are all with you on buying yarn… :stuck_out_tongue:

Currently, my love is yarn. I am refraining from purchasing the hand dyed yarn from my LYS. It is SO beautiful. I don’t know how I will not buy it.

I am waiting for an order right now! I just got their latest catalog and fell in love with the “Tulip and Gingham” socks on the cover! So I ordered all the yarns and the instructions!! Plus ordered some solid colored yarn to knit my dh a pair of socks. :XX: :XX:

Take advantage of the FREE pattern downloads that they show in their catalog too. :happydance:

11

wow. I haven’t ordered from knitpicks in almost 2 months :shock: this reminds me that I need to get back on the wagon!!! :slight_smile:

12

So should I order from knitpicks?? (That’s a dumb question to ask. Lol). :??

13

You should DEFINATELY order from KnitPicks. :thumbsup: They have GREAT knitting notions and yarn(wich, by the way, is made form natural fibers)!!! :happydance: :XX:

14

okay i read “yarnwich” there and was trying to decide how to make a yarnwich…

whatever it is, it is a happy creation in my head!

15

Speaking of Knitpicks, have y’all gotten the new catalog yet? Man, if that doesn’t make you want to buy tons of sock yarn, I don’t know what will. :rofling:

16

That’s what they’re there for! :heart:

17

Btw, is their catalog free? I went to the website, but there were some that you have to purchase. (I love free knitting catalogs!)

18

Their catalog is free. I started receiving them about every month or so after I placed my first order… :thumbsup:

19

Oh ok. I’ll have to order some more yarn then! I need to add more to my stash, anyway. Woo hoo!

I just received my first order from knitpicks. I got some yarn for a sweater I am going to make for my nephew and some yarn to try to make my first socks with. I was so excited to see it on the front porch when I came home from running errands, I had to open it up immediately and feel all of it!
