Because of the Ravelry Lurkers
Good Morning knitters!
It has been a big week thanks to the Lurkers on Ravelry. On Monday I spoke to a long time Lucky Lurker Member's knitting guild about Duet Yarns-what a great oppurtunity and experience that was. Then on Tuesday, for the first time ever, I had Oops Yarn available through the website because of the suggestions from the Ravelry Lurkers. They created the idea of suprise oops skeins because I am not able to photograph each and every oops and it's flaw. Now, when oops' are available, it's 2 for $30 and you never know what you'll end up with! And finally, yesterday, once again thanks to the hopeful suggestions of Ravelry Lurkers I dyed up a batch of the ever popular Army Girl, Hip Chick, Rocker Chick and So Chic (as well as many many other fabulous colors) and uploaded then.
Because the Lurkers on Ravelry were suggesting all these fabulous ideas...they were also lurking the website to see if these ideas happend. Some things may already be sold out-your lurking competition may be a little tougher, but come on by and check it out!!!
Ravelry Lurkers-You guys are FABULOUS!!!! Thanks for the ideas and suggestions that I am sure every Lurker here is going to be happy to see.
If you aren't on Ravelry yet, stop by and check it out. It is an enormous knitting community, filled with ideas, inspiration, patterns, conversation and so much more. Be sure to join the Lucky Lurker Ravelry group and see what we are talking about in there!!!!
Happy knitting!!! ~Angela

Open Sign Ups begin NOW!
Good morning Lurkers!
Today is the day!!! Open sign ups begin for all hopeful Lucky Lurkers! If you haven't been a part of the Lucky Lurker Club before, here's the low down. Over the course of 3 months (Sept. Oct. Nov) you get a skein of Duet Yarns in an exclusive colorway never available to anyone else. Each month is a different weight yarn and each one comes with a pattern designed with that yarn. In addition, you get a welcome package in August that is sure to get you excited about the upcoming months. With every pattern and skein, $1 of your membership goes to an animal shelter to help homeless critters. The appreciation from these shelters has been fantastic and it's all in the name of Lucky Lurker Members!
Space is limited because I can only dye a certain amount at one time, so grab your mouses and get ready to join!!!
Happy Lurking!!! ~Angela

Congratulations Pattern Designers
Hi Lurkers!
I want to give a great big congratulations to the design winners for the upcoming round of Lucky Lurker Club. Jennifer, Kelly, Elaine and Tori have won a spot in the upcoming round of Lucky Lurker Club. But wait, that's 4 spots! That's right...one of these fine designers created a New Basic Duet Pattern as well and I had to add on one more spot just for them!
For everyone else hoping to grab a spot in the next round of the Lucky Lurker Club, open sign ups happen on July 21st at 9am pacific. Current Lurkers will already have their spots and winners of this contest will have their spots, which means space is limited...have your mouses ready!!!!
In the meantime, keep your eyes out for the new semi and sorta solids coming soon! Come by to load up on all the new Skinny colorways.
Hope everyone is having a great summer :)Happy Knitting! ~Angela
