G’morning, and Happy Saturday!

Twenty-one years ago today (28 August 2005), Hazel and I hunkered down under a work table as Hurricane Katrina roared overhead.   Hazel was a Lab-Chow mix I’d had only a few months, since her owner had to move back to New York.   Hazel was a handful, to be sure, but usually she was a good girl.  She was evacuated to the home of a Cajun family north of New Orleans, while I finally found a ride to Houston to stay with one of my kids until it was safe to return to New Orleans.  I never saw her again, but she was taken in with good people and I’m sure she lived her life with loads of love.

A year to the day after Katrina first hit, I moved to Houston permanently and never had a normal paycheck again.

Since this anniversary is on a weekend, I think we should have an anniversary sale for the Last Weekend of the Month.

But first, I’m interested to know what you do with Phydlbitz Sock yarn.  Obviously, I know about socks and shawls and sweaters and baby things, but I’m wondering what other people do with sock yarns.  What sort of crafts beyond knitting and crochet do you do?

Also, where do you hang out online?  I spend most of my online time on Facebook and Instagram, but I know there are crafters using all sorts of social media platforms and I’d love to explore new areas to inspire new dyeing ideas.

Here is the collection of Phydlbitz Sock yarn that I added to the Blog Reader Specials page this week:

Now, through Monday, all the yarns on the Blog Reader Specials page will be invoiced at $21.00 per skein, so it’s a three-day weekend sale!  As they say, order early order often.

As always, to claim any of the available yarns, just send me an email and I’ll get your requests taken care of.
