Missing goodies

May '08 Kit Questions, Sockateers | June 13, 2009
By Jen G.

I know this is a bit of a delayed reaction but the past month has been out of control busy.  

My May kit was missing its extras - there was no emergency skein.  I did get the door hanger, but I’m not sure if anything else was supposed to come with my kit.  I know once upon a time I read somewhere what we’re supposed to do if this happens, but now I can’t remember.  Does anyone know??

Help please, ran out of yarn

Notorious Sock Knitters | June 11, 2009
By Nadja Senoucci

I am almost done with my pair of Fraggle socks. Unfortunately I actually managed to run out of yarn before I finished the toe. I was wondering if any kind person here would be willing to send me their leftovers of Pepe La Plume, please? Warning: I live in Germany.

Number of stitches in heel setup? (Fraggle Squiggle)

May '09 Kit Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | June 06, 2009
By Wildaisy

I am making the small size, and I can’t figure out the instructions. The instructions say “size small only / K3, p1, k5, M1, k5, p1, k3, p1, M1, k4, turn….”
This counts to only 25 stitches. I have 30 stitches on each needle when I come to this. After this line, the instructions for the heel start with 31 stitches, knitting back and forth. I don’t understand this. Is there anyone who has done this and can explain this to me?

———————————————————————————————————————————
A kind of sort of guessing game. A game where we all will have to work together.
Here it is; You know those sometimes silly, often themed but maybe random names on the inside of the skein bands of your yarn?
Yeah those. May’s shipments certainly are themed (Cartoony) and each one of them go with a blue moonie.
So the name of the game is which cartoon goes with which blue moonie.
I will supply you with the list of Blue Moonie’s but you guys have to collect all the cartoon names and match them.
The first 6 people to do this win a Rare Gem Skein in lightweight or mediumweight yarn.
The first person wins the chance to work with me (depravedyer) in creating and naming a colorway.
Here are the rules: Starts today at 12:00 PDT and goes until June 15th at 12:00 PDT.
Below you will find a picture of team Blue Moon so you have visual.
Most of you do not know a lot about out team members but some of you do and the sockateers do so your going to have to be creative in finding this info. out.
Kind of a treasure hunt.
Team blue moon will give little clues in the comments here in the next 48 hours. (Note to self: remember to tell the barn girls this little tidbit).
Post your guesses here. PLEASE do not email them to the sock club email. Only ones here in the comments will count.
From left to right we have; Anneli, Becky, Debra, Joann,Paula, Rosebud and me. (Actually that is Claire who went back to her family in the UK. Just pretend it’s me)
Ok my lovely NSK’s Game ON!
