Poor, poor credit card
I got home from shopping and checked emails not expecting anything but I got into the Wollmeise Sock Club. I was actually thinking when I went out oh well saved some money:)
If I'm here summer must be nearly over
I'm sitting at my computer refreshing my hotmail account to see if I've got a place in the Wollmeise Sock Club. It was run like a lottery. I have not even knit with it yet. I have the Digitessa kit and traded a Sundara that I was not that fond of for a skein of Wollmeise.
Sundara has 2 new clubs starting shortly. One will be a Sock Club and the other a Sweater Club just after signing up for 4 more Seasons for a total of 6. Oops that's the first time I've admitted how many out loud. I had originally signed up for Spring and Summer but succumbed to Autumn and Winter with doubles in Spring and Winter.
I put 3 yarns on sell/trade page on Ravelry and they were gone the first day.
Twist Collective published their first issue just recently. Wow, the patterns are amazing, all are gorgeous and the designers the cream of the crop. There was a lot of talk on Ravelry about the price of patterns and shouldn't we be able to buy in bulk and get a better price. But I like that you can only buy what you like and they will be there for a long time so you don't have to buy everything now.
I'm working on my 2nd Rib and Cable socks by Nancy Bush in Mountain Colors Bearfoot and just starting my 2nd Cat Bordhi Rushing Rivulets in Shubui green. I will try to get some picture of both socks soon.
The Mountain Colors Bearfoot is a lovely yarn. I had tried a number of patterns but did not like any of them so kept frogging. My friend Wendy tuned me into this pattern from Interweave Knits issue Fall 2005. I did not like the heel so went ahead blindly and ended up with the cables on the foot not lining up. Normally I would redo it but I was tired of rewinding this particular yarn, I refused to do it and pray noone wants to have a closer look:)) The 2nd one is perfect.
Well Claudia is already on Finland so I guess I didn't win a spot in the Sock Club oh well more money for Sundara.
One of my last posts I moaned that I did not think anyone was reading my Blog and when I was looking at blog the other day I noticed I had a response. Made my day...
Off to walk Sadie.
