Project Update: New Color Samples - Round 4 (Pink Popcorn)

Hello! Thanks for all your comments on the last post! There were a lot of positive replies so I confirmed the new Pink colorway of Cherry Gingham with the more saturated pink background.

My manufacturer proceeded with making another sample version of Pink Fresh Tasty Popcorn with the lighter yellow stars and I personally love it, I feel like it has a much "cuter" vibe so I finalized this version as well.





If you pledged for Pink Fresh Tasty Popcorn but don't like the final pastel yellow stars, please make sure to change or cancel this design in your pledge before the order is locked tomorrow!

With that, all unlocked colorways have been finalized! Thanks for your patience and feedback as we narrowed down the thread colors! Everything is now going into full production and should take around a month. I'll make sure to post another update then, thank you! :)

Project Update: New Color Samples - Round 3 (Pinks)

Hello, here with another sock sample update! This time, just tackling the last pink colorways. Pink is such a difficult color to make in socks because the color thread options are limited and not always the most ideal match or the most opaque so it usually takes the longest time to sample through trial and error. Thanks for your comments last time, I went ahead and approved Dark Pink & Black Cherry Gingham while ordered the additional round of samples of Pink.

With this sample, I tested out changing the background from the super pale pink it was previously to a more saturated pastel pink. It looks pretty dramatically different when unworn but it's pretty subtle when worn. Personally, I like this new pink and would like to proceed with it as the final but I'd love to hear what you guys think as many of you said you like the pinks as is on the last post.

Fresh Tasty Popcorn also got its sample. I opted for using the same base pink thread as Cherry Gingham. I'm debating maybe changing the stars on this colorway from the dark yellow to the pastel yellow, what do you guys think?

We're nearing the end of sampling so again, any feedback is greatly appreciated! Quick reminder to fill out the Backerkit survey. On March 19, I'll start charging for the shipping, add-ons, and pre-orders starting on that date.

Thanks!

Project Update: New Color Samples - Round 2

Hey everyone! I got a few more updates regarding how the sampling of the socks is going!

We updated Fresh Tasty Popcorn to have the missing star from the original artwork so Red has been updated and Black has been finalized! We're still working on Pink. The initial pink I chose was just a bit too neon so I'm going to do another round of samples on that.



I previewed Dark Pink Cherry Gingham but I received it in person to double check it's okay so I can safely say that's finalized as well! I also received Black Cherry Gingham. I think it came out really well but I'm curious how you guys feel about the black/dark gray combination? Is it too dark or just right?


I also received two versions of Pink Cherry Gingham and this was the best one so far. I want to try one more round of samples with the background pink being a little darker but I'm curious how you guys feel about it as is.

There's still a few people who haven't filled out the survey so please make sure to do so when you can! The deadline is March 19, I'll be charging for the shipping, add-ons, and pre-orders starting on that date.

That's it for this update! And please let me know your opinions on Black & Pink if you have them! Thanks!

Project Update: Quick Update - First New Color Samples

Hey all, my manufacturer reached out to me to share that the first pass at some of the colorways are done! I wanted to share the colors below.  All of the Harlequin Diamond colorways and Dark Pink for Cherry Gingham! 


Please note, all of my crowdfund samples were made in Size 2 so for the Size 1 pattern of Harlequin Diamond, we scaled down the pattern a bit rather than keeping the same diamond size and reducing the number of diamonds so that's why it looks just slightly different. Better comparison pic down below.


 
That's it for now, I'll post again when more colors are done, thanks! :D

Project Update: Sock Surveys Sent, Bulk Order Placed! Pre-Order Store Open!

Hey everyone, I have sent out all the Backerkit surveys so please check your email to select your sock design, colorway, and size selection! If you didn't receive an email from Backerkit and did not do Pay Over Time, please contact me.

Based on the Backerkit poll and social media comments, I decided to add 3 more colorways to the survey. Now available in the survey are:

  • Harlequin Diamond - Black x Wine
  • Harlequin Diamond - Black x Blue
  • Cherry Gingham - Dark Pink

So there's now a total of 12 design/color options to choose from! Thanks so much for sharing your opinions with me, hopefully there's enough options now to suit everyone's tastes and styles :)

I'll start locking orders with final warning on March 19 then charging cards for shipping and any additional Add-Ons you added to your order.

I already contacted my sock manufacturer and paid them for the bulk order so we're going to begin colorway development as soon as possible. After we confirm the final thread colors, it should take around 30 days for production so we'll be ahead of schedule if everything goes smoothly. I'll be sure to post more updates here as things progress along.

One more note, if you missed the crowdfunding campaign but would still like to order any of the socks, I did open up a Pre-Order Store! All options are also available here:
https://over-knee-socks-design-set-1.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Once more, thanks a lot for supporting the campaign! :)
