Once again, behind the 8 ball!

So, here I sit, brainstorming for July, when the June samples are not nearly finished! Okay, so they are almost finished, but not close enough to warrant additional brainstorming! Im very excited with the way that all of the batts and rovings have turned out for this month. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was the theme for June and I split this into two separate categories: "A Midsummer's Night" and "Dream". I was inspired by a photo collection on Flickr by Alexandria LaNier filled with beautiful fairies! "Dream Fairy" inspired this lovely color combo, which is currently available in SW BFL and Merino/Tencel, and will also be available in two different types of sock yarn:


"Dream Fairy"In addition, for the "Midsummer's Night", I decided to a batt series based on the complexities of a Midsummer's Night in the Midwest. The batts are to be titled "Neon Night", "Stormy Night", "Dead of Night" and "Lakeview Night". I am ridiculously excited about these batts and I really think they are turning out great! Two fo the three batts are uploaded and fully for sale on Etsy and the other two will be added soon! I cant wait to finish them up so I can preview them in the Phat Fiber group on Rav!
Ahhh, so, the brainstorming: July's theme is something along the lines of "Buccaneers and Scalawags", so I have come up with an off-the-wall idea, once again, to keep my excited about this theme. Unfortunately, it probably means that I need to make a few massive orders for fiber coming up here in the very near future. Oh, well! I will be testing out the improved version of my knit AND crochet friendly stitch markers, also, so Im excited about that.

Otherwise, I am envisioning another 4 batt series, including the following:
Batt 1 (bl): superwash corriedale (white), mohair (multicolored), firestar (tropical), sari silk, angelina (lots and lots of glitz)
Batt 2 (cb): superwash corriedale (green, fuschia), nylon (yellow), firestar (color-to-be-decided)
Batt 3 (m8km): oatmeal bfl, alpaca (white), yak (brown), silk (rainbow)
Batt 4 (pfl): polwarth (natural), silk (natural), bamboo (purple), merino (black), angora (????)

Im very excited about this batt series and cant wait to reveal more details!
