Since I'm on the East Coast, I didn't have to wake up super early to check out the sale. I did, however, start refreshing the KnitPicks website a bit before 9 AM EST. I placed an order this morning and I'm really happy with what I added into my cart:
I am super excited by the new "Simply Wool" and "Simply Alpaca" lines of yarn. The natural colors of wool are stunning, and I think that it would be really fun to overdye them. I ordred a medium gray "Winkle" that I think would be REALLY FUN to overdye. I plan to overdye the WOTA pink roving, too. KnitPicks also released lace weight Chroma yarn and new colors of Felici Sock Yarn.
In addition to the yarns that will be on sale all week, there are going to be limited sales most days (or at least Wednesday and Friday according to the BIG Sale dashboard.) Today (Monday 11/13), all pattern project kits are 40% off. In the past I've used discounted kits like this to build up my stash. I know that it is always useful to have more Wool of the Andes colors around since I use those all the time.
I have a feeling that I might end up placing a second order sometime this week, especially if some something else goes on sale to tempt me. I need to sort my stash and see what things I need to add to my personal collection. What do you think I should buy? I am tempted by a knitting unicorn pin and some of the tote bags. I wonder what the special deals will be on Wednesday...
