Tangerine Tango Reminder

Yesterday, I posted Pantone's fall colors, one of which is Tangerine Tango, which also happens to be Pantone's color of the year.  So today seems like a good time to remind everyone of the offer to save 10% on a sweater featuring tangerine.  (More details here.)  If you're not the type to come up with your own sweater design featuring tangerine, here are a couple of options from the existing collection.  To take advantage of this deal, email yellowhouseknits[at]gmail.com and mention this offer.

Tangerine Tango for 2012

I'm so excited about Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year.  It's Tangerine Tango.  Pantone describes it as "a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way."

One needs to take only a quick look at the Yellow House Knits collection to know that I love orange.  It shows up in at least half a dozen different sweaters.  It's such a great color for little kids--so vibrant and happy, great for boys and girls alike.   So I was delighted to see that orange is finally getting some recognition.

In honor of Tangerine Tango as Color of the Year, I'm offering 10 percent off of any custom sweater that includes tangerine as one of the colors.  The offer is good for all of 2012.  To take advantage of this deal, email yellowhouseknits[at]gmail.com and mention this offer.  I'm excited to create some gorgeous sweaters in tangerine!

Blogiversary . . . A Day Late

I meant to do something fun and extravagant to celebrate the first anniversary of Inside the Yellow House, and I got the flu instead.  Bummer.

Happy Blogiversary Inside the Yellow House!

Pink for 2011

I've just learned (late to the party as usual) that Pantone's 2011 color of the year is Honeysuckle 18-2120. Pantone describes Honeysuckle as a "dynamic reddish pink."

Those of you who read this blog regularly may have guessed--if I haven't already announced it--that I love pink!  So I was super excited to see that honeysuckle is the new turquoise (Pantone's color of the year for 2010).  Don't get me wrong--I think turquoise is a truly great color, but it's just not pink.

In honor of honeysuckle as color of the year, I will offer 10 percent off any custom sweater order placed in 2011 if honeysuckle is one of the colors in the sweater.  Email me (yellowhouseknits@gmail.com) for details, and mention this offer.

December Special Offer

Now through Friday, purchase a $25 Yellow House Knits gift certificate for a friend and receive a $10 gift certificate for yourself.  Gift certficates can be sent electronically or via U.S. mail with the Yellow House Knits holiday card. 

Gift certificates may also be purchased in higher amounts (e.g., a $100 gift card purchase for a friend receives a $40 gift card for the purchaser), but the two gift certificates cannot be combined and redeemed together. 

Mention coupon code ITHY-DEC in your convo or email (yellowhouseknits@gmail.com) to take advantage of this offer. Orders/emails must be received by midnight EST on December 10.

Have fun!

Please note that, although this offer applies to both in-stock and knit-to-order sweaters, I can no longer guarantee that knit-to-order sweaters will be ready in time for the holidays.  If you're interested in a knit-to-order sweater, feel free to email me for an estimated delivery date.

Hot Colors for Fall

In February, the color wizards at Pantone introduced the hot colors for fall 2010.  Now that fall is almost upon us, I thought it was worth revisiting them.  Here they are:

And here's what Pantone said about them:

Exotic Purple Orchid, a purple leaning to fuchsia, is an unexpected choice for fall, imbuing a bit of magic and vibrancy to the season. Elegant Chocolate Truffle, evocative of delicious treats, is a rich brown with piquant plum undertones, that pairs tastefully with Purple Orchid. Not your mother’s avocado green, Woodbine takes last season’s neutral greens to a whole new level, and when mixed with Purple Orchid and Chocolate Truffle, results in a stunning combination.

Lagoon, this season’s turquoise – Pantone’s 2010 color of the year – is guaranteed to add a tropical splash. A great color for fall and winter escapes, Lagoon is a popular hue, especially in accessories, pairing dynamically with all shades of red. Lipstick Red, a deeper, more dramatic sensual red, makes its imprint on fall, particularly in cosmetics.

Reminiscent of a radiant sunset on a brisk autumn evening, Golden Glow, an earthy, deepened shade of yellow, creates a retro look with Purple Orchid or Woodbine. A softer, more inviting orange with a hint of pink undertone, Living Coral is the perfect complement to Lagoon, whether heading for a tropical destination or just fantasizing about it. Crisp Endive, a revitalizing yellow-green, adds freshness to this season’s top ten, and will enliven any wardrobe. Add it to Lagoon, Chocolate Truffle and Purple Orchid for an invigorating fall look.

Oyster Gray, a classic neutral that grounds the palette, is a lighter take on the traditional fall gray, as designers heed consumers’ concern about the economy and deliver investment pieces that carry through to spring 2011. Rose Dust, a flattering beige, offers an ethereal, romantic, wispy option to span the seasons.

I love how bright and bold they are.  No wimpy colors this fall! 

Check out Pantone's Fashion Color Report for Fall 2010, which includes sketches and commentary from leading designers.

August Special Offer

Since August is not traditionally sweater weather, I thought I'd offer an especially good deal this month:  Order any in-stock or custom sweater before the end of August and receive a free coordinating hat AND free shipping.  If you have a special vision for the hat, I'm happy to work with you.  How *cool* is that?

Note that there may be a slight delay in shipping in-stock sweaters while I make the hat.  As always, let me know if timing is an issue.

Mention coupon code ITHY-AUG in your convo or email (yellowhouseknits@gmail.com) to take advantage of this offer. Orders/emails must be received by midnight EDT on August 31.  

Have fun!
