Also, I wanted to share some pics of the awesome pre-package presents my wonderful spoiler, Elladora Madley, sent me - she is so great! The yellow and grey is 440 yards of Hufflepuff House Colors Slendersock from Ellie at crazy4dyeing.etsy.com and it included some lovely Snitch Wing stitch markers! And the lovely bluish-purplish-brownins-grayish yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in dyelot 7386 (no color name that I can find printed on the label, sorry)







Thanks so much, Elladora! You are the best spoiler EVER!

the Lorna's Laces colorway is Lorna's Laces - Shepherd Sock - A Color Commentary - Amy's Vintage Office...
Find below the excerpt from JBW's Sept newsletter...

"As you may remember, Lorna's Laces recently embarked on a quest to periodically introduce new colors into their Shepherd Sock line. Calling their quest "The Color Commentary Series," each new color is inspired by, and collaborated on with, a famous fiber personality.

For the 2nd installment in the series (remember the first as Franklin Habit), famous Knitty.com brainchild Amy Singer was chosen as the headliner. According to Lorna's Laces, Amy drew inspiration from the everyday items in her office - hence the name "Amy's Vintage Office". Lorna's then worked with images of a charcoal desk, steel grey filing cabinets, a card catalog that was grey with the slightest hint of violet....and a light blue princess phone.

What do you think? We think it's a winner... and just perfect for the upcoming fall season."
