Had to take a break.....

Wow...time flies! I meant to take a break for only couple of weeks and it's been over a month since my last entry!

I did get some wip's finished!!

First is the Lucky Lurker's welcome kit - DeKAY Footies:

I ordered some DeKAY yarn but didn't get a chance to knit anything with them. But I had to do the footies asap and they were a quick and simple knit! I especially love the thick cushiony feel on the pads of my foot due to the slip stitch pattern. I've only seen this on the heels but I will definitely be doing more socks with this style soles! I wore these socks everyday for a week with my clogs and they felt great! It's also nice to know that I could get 2 pairs of footies out of a skein of DeKAY!

I also had to do flippant when I saw the pattern on ravelry! What a great way to use up some leftover sock yarn! Here's mines in Mama Blue Sea Merino in Sky:

These can be easily done in a couple of days!

I also finished Jeong's Djangos but I just keep forgetting to take a picture of them.


Now to some yarn porn!! Yay!! I got quite a few club kits within the past month!

First is the 1st Wollmeise Sock Club Kit:

2 skeins of 100% superwash wollmeise in Hollerstaud'n and Buxkranzl.
1 set of Holtz & Stein DPNs - gorgeous wood but I really am addicted to magic loop so I don't see myself using theses.
The pattern that came in the kit was I Mog Di which is gorgeous but looks like it will be as complicated as La Digitessa which I am still knitting on and off.

Then there is the 4th shipment of the Seven Deadly S(p)ins which is my absolute favorite!!!
The pattern is gorgeous and I just love the colors of the yarn! I was disappointed with the club kit #2 (washcloth) and #3 (hat) but this definitely makes up for it!

Then there is the Lucky Lurker's September club kit:

The Duet skinny is gorgeous!

Here is the Plucky Knitter's Classic's Hitchcock Heroines August 2008 skein:

It is MCN fingering (my favorite base!) in The Cat. It also came with a cute stitch marker.

I GOT IN!!

You're probably wondering "What?" and I know you probably won't be able to guess but it is .....THE GREATEST SOCK CLUB EVER CREATED!! lol Still need a clue??

The yarn is gorgeous and I want every color!

Ok...here it is....get ready.....

THE 1st WOLLMEISE SOCK CLUB!

I am so excited!! I was trying to tell myself it didn't matter if I didn't get picked in the lottery and that I really need to save up for Stitches East but I am sooo excited to get in. First shipment should be September (next month)!
