Oh Captain, My Captain!

Baroque'n Hooker

Oh, Captain Hook, who would have thought that under that dapper exterior lies the heart and soul of such a wonderfully vicious villain?  Is it your fault a band of rag-tag snot-nosed brats led by a flying imp named Peter Pan harry and harass you and your hard-working crew?  Not only have they turned all of Neverland against you, allying with villainous scum like Pixies and Mermaids, but they have the NERVE to start recruiting from a completely different realm entirely. 


This month's installment is dedicated to you!  100g./4oz. 560 yards of Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock dyed up in blood red, brazen orchid and deepest black. 

A handmade orange brandy-flavored lolly dipped in milk chocolate, a blood-red stitchmarker and a gorgeous silver clippy bookmark with a hand-felted clock face from Jelby round out the loot!  Yes, my friends, for those who weren't quite sure what that adorable "felted clock thingy" (your words, not mine) was, it's a bookmark.

Rather Knotty

Ever wanted to know what this snark sounds like in person?  Well, wait no longer!

Well, actually, you'll have to wait until it launches, but then you won't have to wait any longer.

Wizardly Vizier

JafarNight2
Alacazam Jackass!
Jafar, the Grand Vizier of Agrabah is a mustache-twirler of the highest order.  He's a throne-coveting, minion-abusing, snake-stick wielding wizard, and a such a snazzy dresser!


InstallmentWhat better way to pay tribute to this fabulous villain than to immortalize him in a moment of triumph!  Yarn, jeweled tin, homemade nom and stitchmarker were what assailed our members when they opened their packages.


The yarn is a generous 590 yard skein of Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock wickedly dyed in tonal colors shifting from berry to wine to deep aubergine, perfectly capturing the image of Jarfar in his best light: against the star-strewn desert night's sky. 


Loot
A homemade orange brandy lollipop generously dipped in poison chocolate, a gorgeous smoky crystal stitch marker from Toluca Knitting Jewelry, and a sparkly be-jeweled keepsake tin rounded out the package.
