Picnic Knits

When it comes to Christmas music I am a sucker for all things Muppets. Especially the John Denver Muppet Christmas album. And I say album because we totally had it on vinyl. Yep, I am an old woman. A fact I am feeling quite acutely after getting my toes tangled in the tinsel in the Christmas closet and crashing down hard. The bruises are annoying. The overall achy-ness that comes from the fall and the fact that I did three hours of yardwork on Sunday is just ridiculous. When did I get this old? I really need to get in better shape – but that is a post for January 1st

Today we have something golden that is free. So for today and today only, the Cordelle pattern is free with the coupon code “golden”. Only four days left til Christmas. Yep, I’m sweating it. How’s your holiday preparations going?

Sadly the only thing geese lay around here is things you don’t want to step in. We have a lake behind the house, and the geese kind of hang out and flit from yard to yard to decide who gets the lawn “decorations” for that day. And don’t even get me started on how they block the street. Geese!

So that’s Rachmaninoff up there, framed by the lovely geese-infested lake in my backyard. Actually it’s not that bad. Sometimes I will go weeks without seeing them. I think they call a number of little lakes around here home. But you can get a BOGO deal on any individual PicnicKnits patterns if you use the coupon code “geese”. So go, buy Rachmaninoff or any other PK pattern and get one free!

We will not mention how many days it is until Christmas or how much shopping I have left to do. I’m developing a twitch.

I never did a song for Tchaikovsky, or else that would be the perfect special for today. Instead, I will put a few shawl patterns on sale that I feel like have feathery looks to them! So use the code “swan” for 50% off of…

Fenmore – hey look it’s photographed by a lake!

Prokofiev – the one that I think looks most like feathers and wings!

Or Bakersfield – with a little feather-like edging.

I had today’s special completely written up – all was good and shiny. And then I realized that it was day eight and not day seven. Insert headdesk here.

So for today you can get 50% off three patterns that are worked up in pretty milky colored yarns with the coupon code “milk”. A hat, a shawlette, and a pair of socks.

Surrey – worked up in natural Malabrigo.

Eira – worked up in Plymouth Baby Llama Glow – undyed.

And Deaton Socks – worked up in Marble Jitterbug. Ok, so it has a bit of other colors in it, but it still fits the theme!

This is a quick entry because I forgot to post the sale before I left for the day, so I’m being all sneaky like in the boys’ school library to get an entry up!

Today’s special is $7.00 off Sideways Shawlettes – filled with eight beautiful shawlette patterns suitable for a night out on the town dancing. Yes I know it’s a stretch to go from nine ladies dancing to Sideways Shawlettes, but work with me here!

Use the code “goodnight” to get $7.00 off the Sideways Shawlettes e-book!

Ten lords a-leaping sounds a little, um, fancy. So since we have ten toes, I’ll offer up some of my fancier socks today for sale so that your ten toes can be toasty!

First up my Sockings – perfect quick knit Christmas socks in DK weight yarn.

Then my Finery Socks, very fancy indeed!

And finally my Mother Necessity Slippers. These aren’t really fancy, but they are super fast knits if you need a last minute knitted gift!

These pictures were taken back when my 12 year old baby had little feet. Now his feet are bigger than mine – *sniff*

Use the coupon code “toasty” for 50% off any of these patterns!

Today we’ll do a bit of a Scottish theme for the specials. Today you can get the Surly Scotsman…

Or the MacDuff hat…

For half price – only $3! Use the code “piper” to get your discount on these patterns! Oh and the special on Seven Songs is gonna be continued until I get home from work today – cause I got a late start yesterday!
