Color Affection ~ an accessory kit
By Sarah | November 23, 2011
Thank you for your very enthusiastic response to the Color Affection kit! Spots are sold-out at the moment, but I have grand plans for offering more kits very soon. And, when more kits are made available I will have a few other colorway options available as well. Thanks again, so very much!
It is with much excitement that I announce a pattern/yarn collaboration with Veera Välimäki, the very talented designer behind such lovely patterns as the Honey Cardigan, Golden Wheat, Water & Stone and the wildly popular Stripe Study.
Veera has come up with yet another winner! Color Affection combines garter stitch, clever use of short rows and more stripes to love. All that, plus Plucky Primo Fingering – it is quite simply a match made in project heaven!
Sign-ups are now open. The kit is currently available in seventeen (yes 17!) different color combinations – truly something for everyone. And, if you’re feeling especially adventurous, there is even a mystery kit available.
Kit includes:
-3 skeins of The Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering (385yds per skein)
-the Color Affection pattern
-shipping included!
You will need needles: US 6 (US 2.5) [4 mm (3 mm)] circular needle, at least 80 cm/32” long. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: tapestry needle, blocking wires and pins.
Sign-ups will remain open while supplies last. Please note: Kit will ship the week of January 9th, 2012.
In other news, there will be a sneak-update on Monday, November 28th in the Plucky ETSY shop. One more time for old time sake I say! The update will feature a bit of everything, including SALE skeins, cashmere, limited editions (Black Water, I’m talking to you!) and one-of-a-kinds. And to make it all the better I’m offering FREE SHIPPING as well.
Thank you, each and every one of you for your excitement, encouragement and enthusiasm for Plucky yarn. It is a true privilege to serve you.
Wishing you a lovely weekend filled with family, friends and all the knitting your hearts desire.

Is the pattern available outside of the kit? Or will it ever be available that way? I LOOOOVE the pattern but have a limited budget!

I also get a “404.” Does this mean that the kits are all sold out already?

I somehow am always late and miss out on your kits/shop updates. Can I do a pre-order of the kits? I would so love to knit this in your lovely yarn ~ I’m traveling over thanksgiving so will be off-line until Monday.
