Socks and yarn in the mail!
Today I went to Bazaar Bizarre where I met up with Alexis and Bryghtrose and saw Shannon Okey. I was amazingly well behaved and didn't buy any sock yarn even though there was one from Skeintily Clad that I really wanted.
In fact I only bought one thing - the Spin to Knit book! Shannon was nice enough to sign it for me and wrote "reminder: do not sell this for sock yarn" which is a very good reminder for me. ;)
Alexis headed off to meet a friend and Bryghtrose and I headed up to Newbury St. where I completed 1/3 of my holiday shopping. Then we headed out to my neighborhood and went to my apartment to drop our purchases off before dinner. There we found this:
The last package from the 2006 Rockin' Sock Club! When I pulled out the first bag containing the two skeins of Leticia (in Rooster Rock) I was a bit confused because it clearly is not sock yarn. After reading the newsletter I found it was because I won their contest!
The red skein on the left - "Mustang Sally" - is the December color, and the one next to it is our bonus skein - "Rare Gems" - which are all unique. I love the colors in mine, which is mediumweight.
In other knitting news:
Sock pair #42 is a pair of kids socks for Dulaan made with leftovers from the Jaywalkers
Started: 12/10/06
Finished: 12/15/06
Sock pair #43
Pattern: Dublin Bay
Yarn: Trekking 07
Started: 12/11/06
Finished: 12/16/06
And last but certainly not least, the STR in Carbon I won in a contest on Sheep Geek.
It's going to help me accumulate enough sock yarn to knit though the apocalypse.

Yay, I finally get to see what was sent. Mine's not here yet. Congrats on winning. The Dulaan socks are cute and that carbon is going to make awesome socks too!
thanks for stopping by!
hopefully we'll knit together some time.
My trekking socks are absolutely beautiful! You are such a talented and fast knitter Stariel! I can't wait to get them! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I bought some Skeintily Clad sock yarn. It's called "The Greener Side" and is in colors of green anoles -- I just *had* to!!! I'm hoping to cast on later this week. It'll be a whopping #4 pair of socks for this year. :-)
