Somebody please help out a new sock club member. Is there a particular sight where people are posting pictures of the first kit? I’m optimistic that I will receive mine this week, but I have no shame and would likely succumb to looking at others pictures if I knew how to.

I have no idea what I’m doing but if this works wanted to say I’m very excited about this club and can’t wait for my 1st pkg to arrive

Working interferes with my knitting life…

While I’m excitedly awaiting the delivery of our first kit I am trying to distract myself by working on the current sock project.  Last night I finished #1 of a pair of Lace Cuff Anklets from a pattern from Interweave (can I say that name on a STR website?!)  It’s not STR yarn, so I hesistate to mention it unless it’s not considered bad manners…

Does anyone know how to add an avatar to the profile?  I couldn’t figure out how to do it from the profile screen.

Seeing if I understand this

We can all post to this blog, and comment on each other’s entries.  Is that pretty much it?  Very cool.

I’m looking foward to meeting everyone here, and seeing the spectacular socks you knit.  This is going to be fun. 

Can’t wait

Waiting for each shipment must be this exciting. Not sure as this is my first one ever. I was too late in applying last year. I wonder, what will be the in package and will I know how to knit it? How much longer
