October 2018 Sock Membership Reveal

Are you ready for it? We know you are! This month’s Sock Membership Crate is a stunning, cool take on the theme, and we are so excited to share with you. Dyed on Delight Sock from our Vidalana line, this yarn is an 80% Superwash Merino Wool with 20% Nylon that you’ll swear has some cashmere in it (yes, it’s that soft)! Each squishy skein is 402 yards and you’ll get one skein of one of these colorways: 

The purple is called Smudge, and the pale blue is called Morning. These soft, sweet colors pair beautifully with this month’s stunning sock design by Kate Atherley, Twisted Argyle: 

I mean, how cool are those socks?! Kate wanted to create an easily accessible argyle pattern (without the tricky intarsia), and we think she’s done a great job. You can read more about her inspiration behind the pattern and more about Kate in general in the pages of this month’s Knitcrate INSPIRATIONS, the new magazine we’re including with every shipment. 

If you haven’t signed up for the Sock Membership Crate yet, now is the time! We can’t wait to make these squishy socks with you in the dedicated Ravelry group thread, so join us there, too.

October 2018 Theme Reveal

Can you guys believe it’s OCTOBER already? I think it’s safe to say (even if the weather doesn’t believe us in Miami) that it’s Fall. Hang onto your decorative gourds, friends--we’ve got a lot of fun, new, Knitcrate awesomeness headed your way this month. First, let’s talk about the theme: Verdigris. 

Verdigris is the specific name for copper’s natural, greenish patina. In the case of our theme this month, it’s the fading green of late fall plants. Hannah was inspired by the combination of greens, terracotta, faded peach, misty grays and gray-purples, and other colors and pulled together this mood board: 

As always, the way that the colors emerged is totally up to interpretation, and we can’t wait to see what you think of the final results! We’ve also got another surprise up our sleeves this month--a magazine in every shipment. Starting with October, every crate will include a full color, beautiful magazine that features information about the yarns, patterns, designers and dyers, plus some extra fun stuff (like a more in-depth mood board, and a sneak peek for next month and our new Partner Crate). Here’s a little look at a few pages of Knitcrate INSPIRATIONS: 

We know you’re going to love it! If you haven’t joined us for this month’s crates, they’ll be up all throughout October while supplies last. It’s going to be a beautiful month to “Fall” in love with Knitcrate!
