My Favorite

This shipment is far and away my favorite! I may have to get more of this colorway--it is gorgeous! Thanks, Jen!

I got mine, too!

I had also forgotten the shipment was coming, too! So far, there has not been a colorway I have not loved nor a pattern I have not wanted to knit immediately (though I have managed to resist casting on...)

Thanks so much for such and awesome club, Jen!

For me?

Dear Jen,
I love you and the Christmas present you sent me. Sure the present is really the next sock club shipment, but I'd forgotten that a package was coming in December. The box behind my screen door was a surprise and I briefly wondered if I'd started ordering sock yarn in my sleep (God help us all if that happened). The box was greedily ripped into and there was much cooing with delight at the yarn color. Then the final test, a good long yarn sniff. Best... sniff... ever.

Socks in Trees

Holidays are great, especially when they give you lots of time to knit! I'm still benefiting from being young enough that my mother-in-law does all the cooking on Thanksgiving. The in-laws also have a pretty backyard with lots of trees to take sock pictures. They think I'm a bit crazy, but they don't tease me about it too much.
Here's sock number one progress on Sunday. I just kitchenered the toe on this sock today, but can't take a good picture in my dark apartment. The yarn stripped nicely around the leg but I had some pooling on the foot. My stitch gauge is a bit off which may have caused that. Still a very pretty sock. :)

Pattern Errata for the Nov. Sock Shippment?

Just wanted to post this here and I also posted it over at RAVELRY. Is there an error in the patten? I cant see doing the p3tog stich in the leg portion with out any increases to compensate for it. It seems the leg is going to get smaller as we knit in pattern down the leg, or maybe I am missing something with this? Is anyone else confused or is it just me?

Sock finds mate

Hooray a new pair of socks! I finally put down my Christmas knitting and finished the second sock in 2 days. Thanks Jen for introducing me to a new yarn that I really like. Woolgirl sock club shipment number two showed up on Monday. Opening that sock club box is like Christmas morning. The funny thing was that I thought the yarn was completely different colors, until today when I saw it in natural light. Much prettier in the sunshine than my super dark apartment. :)

OOOOOHHHHLAAALAAAA

OK, so that's a French phrase but I can't think of a better way to describe my feelings for this well thought out package. I love every bit of it from the color of the yarn, gauge and all the wonderful extras. Jen you are awsome and just becaue of this, I just had to join The Seven Deadly S(p)ins club that will start in March 2008. It doesn't get any better than this!!!! Or does it??????

Jen you have gone above and beyond and I thank you for it.
