February Sock Club Sweater!

Behold! Our first addition to the contest gallery. This is what one of our sock club members, Melissa Rowles, created with her one of a kind hand dyed sock yarn! Isn't it adorable?? It makes me want another baby just so I can make one of these. (Ok, those that know me well know I LOVE babies and I really don't need a reason to bring another one home!)

So come on everyone! Where are your entries? What are you out there creating with your sock yarn? Remember, you are not only going to gain the satisfaction of having your masterpiece posted on the blog for all to see. You are in it for the PRIZES!! We will be judging all year long for the most creative use of your sock club sock yarn.

* FINE PRINT: Please keep in mind that all entries must utilize your sock club yarn only.

Looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with.

Meet you by the wool,

A Sock To Remember

Well, if you were one of our founding sock club members then, by now, you have received our premier sock club kit! We have been "dye-ing" to post a picture of all the fabulous goodies. But, we've been waiting until everyone who subscribed had gotten theirs. We couldn't spoil the surprise :)

So? What's in the kit? I am so glad you asked!! We had such fun putting this together. In the kit you will find first and foremost, a 480 yard hand dyed merino wool skein of sock yarn. This yarn is a "Sock to Remember" exclusive colorway. That's right. The only way to get this yarn is to have been one of the original members. I love one-of-a-kind yarn. So, this fact really appeals to me. Also, we have included handmade stitch markers created by Karen Hanson. The stitch markers too are exclusive to the "Sock to Remember" kit. Our members will also find an adorable affair themed note pad with pen and pencil, a Knit Affair heart shaped tape measure, special candy packs put together by our own Terri Saski, a heart shaped pom pom maker(complete with enough hand dyed yarn to create a fabulous hot pink heart pom pom!), a buddy case from Namaste to store your accessories, a beautiful heart themed scarf pattern from Fiber Trends, and a basic sock pattern - in case they actually wanted to use their yarn to knit a pair of socks.

We are currently putting together the kits due out in April. If you haven't signed up for the sock club yet, don't wait! We are taking registration up until March 25th. Contact the shop for more information, (951) 738-0076.

Meet you by the wool,
