Raffle and artyarn club
What a good idea, vdasher and jennifer! I'm totally going to do a Insubordiknit artyarn club! I really hadn't ever considered it. I was recently a part of Scout's club and it was so very exciting and I loved each month, you'd have thought it'd strike me to have one myself. And now I will. And a raffle (for why, see previous entry). And a pony. Okay, not really a pony, but the rest -- yes!
THE CLUB:
will be for 3 months and there will be 10 spots (11 counting the raffle spot) available. Each month, for 3 months, each member will receive one hank of insubordiknit handspun art yarn. One month it'll be a Monster Hat kit, the other 2 months it'll just be cool with yardage between 85 and 130 yards (depending on complexity and bulkiness) and weight between 4-6 oz (which is about what fits on my big ole bobbin). Members of the club will fill out (if they wish) a very short short short set of questions regarding colors etc to ensure maximum yarngasms.
THE PRICE:
The price for each slot will be $100.00, it includes shipping (unless your out of the USA, in that case, e-mail me and we'll figure it out). That's at least a 30% discount off of what they'd be if you were to buy the yarns from my shop. The 10 slots will go on sale Sunday, April 15th at 8pm.
THE RAFFLE:
The raffle is for the 11th spot, if you win the raffle you'll get all three months of insubordiknit artyarn FREE (minus the price of your raffle ticket(s), of course) When you buy a raffle ticket for the 11th spot, I'll send you your raffle number(s) through e-mail. On Sunday, the 15th of this month (april) at 8 pm eastern time I'll randomly generate the number, post it and then open up the 10 spots to be bought (they'll be listed in the shop). The first month of yarns will be sent out Mid-May, then Mid-June, and Mid-July.
So please, spread the word! Tell your fiber friends! Tell your loved ones (if you'd like it as a super cool present)! Tell your bus driver and your baker! I'm excited, I hope at least 10 of you are as well!

Posted by: kristenking at April 3, 2007 07:44 PMOOO! Room for a pony, right here! I actually got sucked into this post mostly by the picture of the waffles! I'll spread the word.
My Sister's name is Jacy, I have never heard it anywhere else.
Awesome idea, Jacey! I don't know why I found the question "hank or centre-pull ball" so funny, I guess because I just got done with a massive bitch-rant so now I'm feeling silly.
Posted by: jodi at April 3, 2007 08:16 PMYou are awesome. I will be there - I hope I can pull a Charlie Bucket and have the winning ticket!
Posted by: Jennifer at April 3, 2007 08:30 PMHow cool! If you ever do this again with vegan yarns, I'm so there. :)

Then make some waffles...I have a sudden craving!
What a fab idea, I hope you do this again in the future when I can better afford to do this. I hope the idea takes off! I will have to at least do a raffle ticket. :)
