One year ago tonight, the Dyepot Weekly Kickstarter hit 100% funding within 24 hours of the launch of the campaign. We have accomplished a lot in the last year. When I started the campaign a year ago, there were 200 videos on the ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube Channel, today there are over 500. This means that I have HUNDREDS of skeins of hand dyed yarn as the result of these dyeing tutorials.
To celebrate, I just re-released a version of the most popular Kickstarter reward in the ChemKnits Creation Etsy store... Mystery Surprise Yarn!
For a limited time, you can get a Mystery Surprise Skein of hand dyed yarn that was featured in a past or upcoming YouTube video for $25 with free shipping within the United States! (International shipping is available at a discount from my usual rate.) I look forward to picking out a skein of yarn just for you. Check out the Etsy listing for more details.
I completely underestimated the community that existed behind my YouTube videos. I love interacting with all of you, thought YouTube comments, private messages, and the ChemKnits Lab Facebook Group. I love seeing pictures of your own dyeing adventures and it is the biggest complement when you run out to try the technique from my latest video.
The Dyepot Weekly journey has been a whirlwind, and I am looking forward to the official birthday on October 18. How would you like to celebrate? I have a few ideas, but I have already received some suggestions that sound like a blast.
