Sock Clubbing Again
The winter sock club is about to kick off again. I’m excited and a little nervous. I like sock clubs; I enjoy making up little packages to send out, I like designing new sock patterns but I’m always a little concerned about time management and coming up with new things. Some things get easier – I’ve done this twice already and I well understand the logistics now. Some things get harder – coming up with new ideas for goodies in particular always keeps me on my toes.
The patterns from the sock club last winter will be released soon too (staring with Toasty), you’ll be able to buy them electronically on Ravelry and if you’d like a paper copy you can buy one of those on my site. I’ve been cleaning the patterns up and getting them ready for electronic release, I’m so tempted to tweak things, but I know I should really resist. It’s hard to be fully satisfied with a pattern in hindsight – I often think that this might be a little nicer like that, but if I let myself change little bits of the design before you know it it would be a totally different sock!
Sign up for the Winter 2009 Sock Club (that’s winter in NZ if you’re from the Northern hemisphere) starts on Monday at 9am.

these patterns are amazing. I’m glad there are devoted knitters who see the value in perserving these lovelies from the past.

You’ve got a dye room AND a gorgeous view! I’m so jealous…
