Humphrey ~
By Sarah | August 18, 2011
What do you call a camel with no humps?……… Humphrey!
Do I hear a collective groan? We can thank my Dad (Elmer T.) for that knee slapper. He’s been telling that joke for 30+ years now and still cracks himself up every time.
Humphrey – A new repeatable colorway
There are a few new repeatables colorways on the block, just in time for Fall knitting. And, more to the point, just in time for the release of the Vodka Gimlet kits – another fantastically fun and flattering yarn/pattern collaboration with Thea!
The Vodka Gimlet kits will go on sale (here on the blog) tomorrow, Friday, August 19th at 9:00 a.m. Eastern and will remain open for sale until Sunday, August 21st or while kits/spots remain. Please note: Because these kits are dyed to order, the shipping of the Vodka Gimlet kits will be the week of September 19th.

How do these kits work exactly? Do they come with the colorway shown (Barely Birch) or are there choices? Man, if I have to choose from among all your colorways I could be up all night. Maybe it’s best just to stick with Barely Birch even if there are choices.
This sweater is absolutely lovely.

Good news Rachel! Just because the kit is going live at 1:00 a.m. your time doesn’t mean they will be gone. I’m leaving sign-ups open until Sunday, or while spots remain.

It’s great to discover a different version of that joke. I’ve always told it as “What do you call a camel with three humps?’ to produce the same answer. All goes to show that accent is important. Here in London we’re inclined to pronounce ‘th’ as an ‘f’ sound. Hence I thought my friend intended to call her baby ‘Four’, when she was meaning ‘Thor’. Beautiful yarn and pattern!
