Rockin' Sock Club

I joined Blue Moon Fiber Art's Rockin' Sock Club a couple weeks ago when they sent out an e-mail announcing a few openings to people on the waiting list. I got my first package in the mail today! I'm really glad I decided to join. I got a great package and of course the center piece of the package is the new color - Fairgrounds.

I wasn't sure about the color when I first opened the box, it probably isn't a color I would have picked out for myself. But the more I look at the skein, I'm loving it. I can't wait to get it wound into balls and to get started knitting new socks.

Part of the package is a new pattern that was written with the new color in mind. The pattern is different than any I've ever seen before and I think it will be a challenge for me to knit. It is called Rock and Wave by Karen Alfke. It has a cuff that is knit separately in linen stitch. It's cute and there are a couple of buttons on the cuff too. I am going to use this pattern and the Fairgrounds color for my next socks. I'll get them started this weekend. I really think this club is really going to expand my skills and knowledge of different knitting techniques.
