another etsy store with discount

I have an etsy store too, where I sell handpainted yarns and knit or crochet items. I'll gladly accept custom orders for yarns, just tell me which colors you'd like to have.

As I'm at work right now, I don't have any photos, just have a look at the store to find out more.

And as I announced in the title, I offer a discount for PRGE participants, you will get 20% off your purchase, if you write PRGE in your note to seller at checkout. Please don't pay immediately but wait for a revised invoice instead.

Of course I'd be happy to ship directly to your pal, I will giftwrap it and add a nice card with any text you want.

My store can be found at http://selana1505.etsy.com

I have an etsy shop and would like to offer all PRGE-ers 20% off their purchases at my etsy shop. I am happy to do custom orders - if there is something you are looking for that you don't see, let me know. I am also happy to change the loops for the needle size of your choice or to crochet loops. Your orders can be sent directly to your pal - I have been doing a lot of that lately - convo me or put it in the note to seller with the address of your pal and anything your would like to say in the card. It will be nicely packaged.

Since this is an etsy shop - make your purchase through etsy then DON'T use etsy's paypal. I will send you an invoice with the adjusted total.

Happy Knitting!!

The Alchemic Dragon

I'm all about ads! I have an online shop: The Alchemic Dragon. I have lots of cool soap, and I tend to get a lot of orders for secret pal exchanges since they make great gifts. I can deliver directly to your pal, or send it on to you for your big box.



For 20% off your order, enter the code "SecretPal" in the cart!



I can also do custom orders too! Just in case you want a pink skull that smells like oranges or something ;)

Another administrative post...

Just checking in with all the punks - Have you contacted your pals? If you haven't, please do so by Saturday.... You can send an e-mail, comment on their blog anonymously, or send an e-card. If you have been contacted, just remember it is polite to respond to your pal - it may even prompt them to give you more gifts. However you do it, please make sure that you make contact by the weekend.

Next order of business, we need a button for V.3 - or several buttons (hint). I am really bad with the buttons, html programing and photoshop -- so please, if you have a button - send me an e-mail, so everyone can proudly display it!

Finally, if you have an online shop and you would like to be listed in the sidebar - and maybe offer a discount to your fellow prge-ers - post it here. Please post an ad for your shop only once. I will add a sidebar for shops and discounts with links. It is always good to support your own.

Have a great week and enjoy this lovely photo of the band-aid that is covering my chronic knitting injury. Happy Knitting!!

late PRGE-mini update

I just received my parcel from PRGE mini and it is absolutely amazing, pixieriot dyed a beautiful alpaca yarn just for me, found a punk/goth knitting book and many more. When I find the time, I will take some pics and show them on my blog, but for now I just wanted to report that everything arrived and that I LOVE it...

The Pal's are Out...

Mr. Sunneshine is a real trooper and once again, helped me to get the pals matched and sent out - so I get a surprise too! Matches went out last night and this morning - so if you didn't get one, let me know!! If you got more then one - you should probably let me know that too! I don't think anyone was matched with a pal they have already had -- the advantage of so many new faces -- but if you did, let me know that too!

Just a quick re-cap - this is a secret exchange for the first half, so contact your pal using your secret e-mail, post anonymous comments on their blog or use snail mail without your name. You will reveal yourself in the first box, which is to arrive by Septmeber 30th. Its an open exchange from there... If you have any questions, let me know!!

Now back to the fun!!
Thanks for playing!

G'day from the land Down Under

G'day from the metalhead of down under she who is often called the ice queen by her friends. I have a bad habit of trying things out and they often work. Tried Creative knitting and got the clothesline tea cosy which has a winter side on my blog and has had 1st in numerous shows. Unfortuantly this was stolen last week.

I do things like going to museums when in new places like my trip to Melbourne for work and they say go shopping I went to the Old Melbourne Gaol to see where Ned Kelly was hung.

I even knit crazy things like the Estonian Garden scarf in not just lace weight but soysilk infinity.

I love my knitting, my music and even my feed and tea. But find me a trip where I can have them all I am happy. I am even off to a State wide knitting camp in a few weeks.

Howdy

Howdy PRGE-ers :P

"Hello, my name is Mel and I'm a fiber addict."

*Hello, Mel*

Besides knitting, I spin, weave a bit, make jewelry, sew and do general crafty stuff. Amazingly, I'm in my mid-30's...I just act like I'm 12 most days. I'm an Office Manager (Office Goddess, my business cards say...it's fun when you're in charge of ordering the businss cards :P) at a Tech Company in California.

Currently, I'm making a pair of kick-ass loafer slippers for my partner and I'm excited about them, so you'll have to bear through a picture or two :D As I was knitting them, she dubbed them "foot canoes," so...without further ado, my Foot Canoes :D

This bag is the project I'm most proud of at this time. As me again tomorrow and it might be something different. *shrug*

It was my first attempt at cables and it was for a swap. I like swaps. A lot.

"Hello, my name's Mel and I'm a swap addict" :D

Schöne Grüße!

Hello Exchangers!

I'm janinga, former Detroiter living in Germany. I knit a lot of mitts for myself and as gifts, but i just finished my first socks the other day.




(cuffs were chopped off and reknit as picot edges, but this is a pretty good pic otherwise)

i had to share this bit of grafitti, it's on a chunk of the berlin wall re-erected on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin as a memorial. i wish i knew who the woman in the picture is..





i'm looking forward to the swap. it looks like there are a lot of talented people in the group. this is also my first swap, i'm looking forward to it!

'Lo y'all

Hi swappers! My name is Megan, my blog is Till Death Do I Knit

I've been knitting for 5 years and this is officially my first gift exchange and I am stoked! I'm really bad at keeping surprises so I am hoping I don't pop before the first box gets delivered. I am often doing the blogging thing at work (I am an intern with little work and much time) and I pray to the gods of ravelry and blogger daily that I don't get caught!

Let's see...favorite bands. In the punk category I have The Stitches, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Minor Threat, Reverand Horton Heat, and The Demonics to name a few. In the "other" category I LOVE The Avett Brothers. I bought all of their CD's and none have left my CD player.

On my needles are a bunch of started projects that I have put by the wayside in order to start new projects that I will put off knitting on when I get bored with them. One of these days I'll finish another project, but who knows when?

Hi Again!

Yeah, I love this swap. The more focused group is better for finding a perfect match! I'm still in touch with both my pals from the last swap. It was loads of fun!

For those who don't know me, I'm Shadkitty, I lurk on tons of blogs and love knitting and knitters. You'll eventually find out my real name, I don't really try to hide it, I just don't much like it. Um, I'm punk because I am. My music/clothing/lifestyle shows up in my knitting a lot. When I knit a pattern, I always do my best to make it my very own.

I'm not weird (okay, I am), I'm quirky. Now I am confused about the point of this and feel self absorbed (anyone else notice how often "I" has shown up in this post?). So, have pictures! YAYYYYY!

Some things Rock, some don't...

Wow, what an amazing bunch you all are - every single person had the questionnaire posted on their blog on time!! Thank you all!! I am running a little late with posting the matches, you will have them by tomorrow morning at the latest!

Remember that this is a secret swap for the first half, so please contact your pal using your secret e-mail, don't tell them who you are, and have fun spoiling them!

In the things that don't rock, we do have a deadbeat from the mini exchange. I am so bummed, but at least there is an angel to step in and treat her pal. Jenn from Morbidknits, accepted a package from her pal and never sent one. I am sure there are a million reasons, but the bottom line is that she has not responded for three weeks and not box was ever received. Lets make sure this never happens again - and please keep this swap positive - no pal bashing, no negative comments - Its been too good in the past to get weighed down with the negative!

Back to the introductions, the pal matching and the spoiling!
Thanks for playing!!

Intro

Hi Everybody! My name is Jackie or knitdaisyknit. This is my first time participating in this swap. I don't know that I would consider myself to be a totally badass punk. I have a couple of tattoos, and a few piercings. My favorite bands are the Misfits, Bouncing Souls, Bad Religion and the Queers.

Umm I don't swatch...EVER (is that punk?).

Lately I've been knitting all baby items all the time. I've got a lot of new babies coming into my life this winter. The most important one (to me) is my Godchild/niece. She's a baby that my family has been waiting for for a long long time. She's not here yet and already she's spoiled rotten.

I'm starting to get crazy with the desire to knit myself something, but I haven't really decided on a pattern yet. It'll probably be a sweater though.

So that's a little of me in a nutshell

Hey!

Hi, here is my introduction :)

My name is Shannon, aka Xanthia and I knit. Heh. No, I'm not punk, but I do love black and have punk tendencies when I knit. I do love me some skulls and bats and such. I love bunnies and black yarn.

As for my favourite project...hrm. Probably my Clapotis. I just made it this year as I tried to avoid the hype (so not punk) but I gave in and I love the darn thing. I made it in black alpaca:



Also, I'm one of those freaks who is very allergic to wool and lanolin, so be kind if you are my pal :)

And for something a bit punk? Here ya go:

introduction

Howdy folks :) I was in the prgemini swap but I thought I would say hi! i'm megi. this month is kinda crazy for me im getting hitched so i had to work ahead on the shopping! if my pal doesn't like these sorts of things...alas i will just HAVE to keep them for me.... oh darn ;) wedding pressent to self [actually I got one...a threadless subscription]

I have no expierence with blogger and I am a total html programing shitface so I have no idea how to put pictures in blogger :P [flickr has this nice lil post to blog feature I use] I am working on the cutest little yellow, grey, hot pink thermal knit hoodie sweater right now so I will have to figure out how to post a picture of it when I'm done :) hopefully it will not look too teenagery punk looking...i'm hopeing the colours might counteract that suddently thermal knit and short sleeve hoodies are EVERYWHERE! [well they will not be cutely handknit like mine! mwahahahaha!

any recomendations as to where to find really awesome buttons?

Hello

Yeah. . first of all, Cheryl, you're skull caps ROCK! Very impressive. I've yet to ever try something patterned/colorworked. Anyway, I'm Carly, and this is my first exchange. I've only been blogging for a few months now. My 'punkest' knits would probably have to be my felted projects ... for some reason black & grey with accents of red make there way into anything I'm felting. I don't have any pix, though because (a) I'm at my mom's now and (b) I haven't done anything recently!

Can't wait to get to know everyone!

Skully knucks

Hello!! I am Sunne - resident PRGE organizer. It is so great to see so many new people - and I am having tons of fun going through all the new blogs!

I am a little late getting this up - it took a while to root through the photo archives to find this photo.... I made these Knucks for my husband last year, even after he said that I was never allowed to knit him anything (he has now learned that knitting can be cool). The best part is they get worn tons, I am already thinking of what to make for him when they wear out.

Hope everyone is having a great long weekend!
Thanks for playing!

Greetings Fellow Punks!

Hi, just introducing myself. My name is Christine and I am a PRGE virgin. I am a jewelry designer by trade and knit as a hobby. I don't have anything punk that I have knitted (nothing NEARLY as cool as those skull caps in the previous post) so I apologize that I don't have any punk pictures for you. I'll just post a picture of my ongoing work on Lizard Ridge...not punk but sorta psychadelic, no? I look forward to meeting everyone!

Hi Again

Hi I have been in the first PRGE and the Mini and they ahve been two of my favorite swaps to participate in. These are some of my Punk items I have knitted. I really love the mitts requested by my DS, they are very skeletal.

Come Say Hello...

So we are getting close to the end of sign-ups for PRGE v.3, so if you want to sign up - do it now.

Its a slightly smaller group then last time, but there are tons of new faces. I would like to invite everyone to post an entry saying hello, posting something punk about them and something that they are proud of that they have knit/crochet. This is not a contest, totally optional, and more fun then having to remember everyone's name when you are sitting in a circle and recite them all back to the group (especially when your name is said Sun but spelled Sunne and no one hears it right/ says it right and it gets worse as you go down the line).

Please post your questionnaire by Septemeber 3rd, so I can get your pals out in a timely fashion. There will be a contest announced next week - less like past contests, more like a scavenger hunt - as always, great prizes!

Have a great long weekend!!

Thanks for playing!!
