2011 Personal Sock Club
January 2, 2011 by sunrisesister
So it has been um.. brought to my attention that I own a bit of sock yarn. Ok, quite a bit of sock yarn. Perhaps around *whispers* 40 skeins of sock yarn. Ahem.
So I am declaring 2011 to be the year of stash busting! To help this along, I have created a personal sock club. 12 skeins of yarn, bagged up for a lucky dip, one for each month. I have chosen not to include patterns in with the yarn, because 1) I fall in and out of love with patterns on an hourly basis, and 2) I felt it a bit restrictive.
So much loveliness. EGMTK, Ixchel, Wollmeise, Patonyle 8ply, Regia, ms gusset, and Colinette Jitterbug. All delicious yarns!
Here they are, all bagged up, and even stapled shut! I may or may not be great when it comes to surprises.. heh.
And already, I have picked out my first instalment! A blue/green skein of EGMTK superwash merino/nylon, which are becoming Monkey socks. More on that another time, when they look interesting.

Arwen, Modelled!
January 2, 2011 by sunrisesister
A belated merry solstice, happy christmas and a very happy new year to you all! Boy, was I happy to give 2010 a kick in the pants as it left! I even managed to sneak in a last FO before the year was out; another licorice allsort cardi, but in a bigger size. The freaky weather here continues, hot, cold, and hot, and then cold again. But lots of rain, means our long and awful drought is OVER. Yes, officially.
It seems absurd to be dressing a baby in a knitted skirt and tights in SUMMER, but it was practically chilly yesterday, and I took the opportunity to try out my fabulous new IXUS camera. Here is the Arwen skirt, in the fleshy flesh!
Yes, that is an 11 month old, walking, running, talking, and flirting. She kills me.
