Enter the Buffyverse...

So, I have the first half of the Buffyverse yarns ready to go.  These are inspired by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Angel TV series.  I'm not yet through the follow up graphic novels...
All the colorways are partly inspired by appearance and partly by character/personality.

Now, the big question on everyone's mind is How can I get these yarns!?!  I've thought long and hard about it and there will be two ways to get the yarns.  You can order what you like, when you want it and in whichever base yarn you like.  Or, for those who Must Have Them All!!! I will run a club-esque subscription over the course of one year, two colorways per month via the Paypal Subscription service.  I say "club-esque" because the colorways will not be a surprise and I think that's a fundamental part of clubs.

Here are the pics!

First up we have the Scoobies: from left to right, Buffy, Xander, Willow, Anya, Giles and Spike is not shown in the group pic
