As I have said in my August 21st post, I am on a major sock kick. I don't know what makes sock yarn so alluring but something has certainly drawn me, the moth, to the flame. I have been uncontrollably buying and researching sock yarn on the internet. I bought 4 more skeins at my yarn shop that is closing and I had my mom buy me some on KnitPicks for my birthday, like for more skeins (along with harmony DPNs, size 1). I even bought a bare skein in merino wool so I can try my hand at dying with Koolaide....crazy me!!
I have also joined a sock club people! A club that for about 17 dollars a month will send you a pattern and a skein of sock yarn to go with the pattern each month! How cool is that....maybe I won't have to buy any more sock yarn for a while now that I am doing that......AHAHAHAHA yeah right!!! I joined the club on TheKnitter.com, and it was the least expensive I could find....most go for around 30 a month which I feel is too much for one skein of sock yarn...I could buy three decent ones for that! They send out their yarn on the 15th of the month if anyone is curious and wants to join. I think it will be fun, and if I dont like it I can always cancel it or see if I can trade the yarn, no worries!
In Ravelry news, tomorrow I will be joining a really nice sock yarn swap that is hosted on ravelry. It is supposed to be yarn from your stash so I will have to find some I am willing to part with...gonna be hard but I am sure I can find something. You also have to give goodies and stuff just like the other swaps I have been in =) I am excited to see what I can come up with and what my partner will send me.....just like opening presents! So much fun!
