Baa, Baaa, little sheepy. Have you any wool?

Announcements, Contests | June 11, 2008

Yes ma’am, yes ma’am, two socks full.

Aren’t they beautiful?

Remember my dream from the first dyer’s notes? The one about the traveling sock and Leslie,Tan and L-B being prime knitters on this project. Well, for my recent birthday I received this lovely pair of Monkeys knit by all three of these wonderful women. They added Gail in, for a bit of good measure, I think. (snicker,giggle) Yes, there were a few tears, I was and am still very touched by this gift.

It is at this point, that I am going to out myself and admit that I guessed the two colorways that they used here wrong. I know! Hard to believe, but nonetheless true. I am deeply ashamed all the way down to my very blue heart.

So my notorious sock knitting friends can you tell which colorways these are? hmmm? Smell a contest?

We will randomly choose 6 NSK’s that correctly guess BOTH of the colorways used. Please EMAIL your guesses to contests@bluemoonfiberarts.com. It starts now and the deadline is June 18th at midnight PDT. Anyone with information leading to the correct answers please mums the word. Yes, Tan, Leslie, L-B and Gail this means you. Sorry guys, I will make it up to you I promise!

Ready, set, guess!!

NOTE: ooops, I just noticed and thought you should know that one of the colors is not on the site at this time. Makes it just a wee bit more challenging.

HINT: My socks are of elemental and mythical origin!

p.s. I am adding a link here on this blog, to the Traveling Sock blog that Les and Alice have created so we can keep up with it. Alice and I think that the sock might need a name. Any thoughts?

Monkey Color Question

Notorious Sock Knitters | June 11, 2008
By Marlene

I just finally wound the yarn for my sock monkey. I have the Fire on the Mountain / Sherbet kit. Which should I use for color A and color B (main body)?

 Does anyone have pictures of monekys in this color scheme (in either A/B variant)?

Provisional cast-on - picking up stitches?

May Kit Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | June 08, 2008
By Amber

Does anyone know of a video on-line for picking up stitches?  I’ve done my chain, I see the little bumps I need to knit into, but I have no idea whatsoever how to do that.  I just can’t picture it.

Sizing for the May Sock

Notorious Sock Knitters | June 08, 2008
By Marlene

Does anyone have any input on the sizing for the May sock? I did the Serendipity sock in Medium and they fit pretty well. I did Leafling in Small because of the heavier yarn and larger needles, but they’re still a little big.

 What would you expect for Cleopatra?

 I don’t swatch socks and won’t start now!
