So I decided to totally copy Jaquie in her personal sock club venture. (I didn't join the group though.)
I couldn't find enough sock yarn in my stash for 12 pairs, just 10, so it won't be a sock of the month, but a sock every 5 weeks or so. That's better anyway since I don't think I've ever finished a pair of socks in a month. Then again, I don't ( Read more... )
