Sock Yarn Club!

Well, I have finally bit the bullet and signed up for a sock Yarn club from an independent dyer. sadly though, I did not get in for this round of wonderful yarn, and I have to wait for June to start recieveing my shipment of sock knitting happiness. The biggest problem for me though, was deciding which dyers sock yarn club to sign up for.

I thhought about Blue Moon Fiber Arts, but it was an awful lot of money, and I just could not justify spending that money right now. I may sign up for next years yarn club through them though. Perhaps it will be a late christmas present to myself, or mabie I can drop many hints to my husband and have him make it my present from hom. It is after all, the gift that keeps giving. All year long.

I then looked at the Hazel Knits sock yarn club (I wanted to support a local artist), and was a bit sad to see that I missed the sign up deadline for February to May and would have to wait until June to start recieveing my goodies. however, I liked that the club only lasted for four months, and I was not stuck in a Year long commitment in case I did not like some of the stuff I recieved.

Also, this is my first sock yarn club ever, So i liked the idea of going for about four months at a time to see how I liked it.

I like Hazel Knits yanrs anyhow, so the decisionkind of made itself for me. The colors that they come up with always amaze me, and I just drool over them before finally buying the yarn. the next really hard decision for me is what to knit with my treasure. Sock yarn that fabulous really deserves to be knit into a really awesome pair of socks.

Now I just hope I don't forget my yarn club membership before June, if I do, I will be really suprised by the package that arrives in the mail. Not to mention the yarn.
