Apparently so many women sign up for the Socks that Rock Club that the bank thought they were doing something illegal and shut them down, and Yes I am one of those thousands of women who tried to sign up for the Socks that Rock club.
The first installment of the Socks that Rock club arrived yesterday. And WOW! It came with some great yarn, a cute keychain with a itty bitty skein of yarn, a folder, a pattern, a button, a folder , and interesting foot facts.
I was a little wary signing up for this club. I have so many skeins of sock yarn all ready in my stash. PLus there are so many other items I want to knit besides socks. BUt I am so excited with this first shipment from the club. The pattern is great. It is the first sock pattern that I've been excited about in a long time. The yarn isn't a colorway that I would have choosen for myself if I were looking at colorways on a monitor. Too dark and too muddy. But the yarn is luscious, and I think I could grow to love the color. I woke up this morning thinking about the yarn and the pattern.
So I promptly finished the Cherry Tree Hill Birchs socks. I wanted to free up the needles. They are top down with short row heels and toes. I ended them about 2 inches too short for myself. Luckily they fit Augy perfectly (right now - who knows when his next foot growth spurt will be). PLus they are masculine enough of a colorway that he likes them. So win-win: Augy got socks in a color that he likes, I got to free up some needles to start my socks that rock.
PIc is very fuzzy, but at least you get to see the colorway.
But here is is 10:30 pm and I have still yet to cast on for my socks that rock. Why haven't I cast on yet on a day that I don't have any rehearsals, concerts or students? Becuase I was trying to finish a tank for the shop sample. ONly it turned into a great big Uh-Oh. Total disaster. The biggest crocheting, knitting disaster I've had in a long long time.
More on this with pics later .
