We are off to Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat. Today it is off to Tacoma and set up the booth. (my favorite part, ha )

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and yes Sunday too, it is fiber full . The marketplace is open to all. So even if you are not taking classes you can come and play. We would love to see you, please drop by and say hi! Gail the Sockateers and I will be there. Bring your socks!

And then… the Sockateers will be running the booth at Stitches, the 21st through the 24th. A massive amount of sock yarn and three outrageously fun woman.What more could you ask for? On Saturday night there will be a gathering at Purlescence for purchase sharing and well sharing.

Side note; we are still working on making the blog easier to navigate. So look for those changes soon, along with the first contest.

By the way the pics I have seen of the socks so far are really quite lovely! I am quite amazed how how fast you were done.

I am a little sad that my longest sock by the most people was not a huge hit. Oh well

what can you do?

knit on!

How about a “I am finished Woohooo!!” post-January

that everyone follows suit and comments to when they are done. Kind of like the, “It is here” one. So it singles out who finished first ( kudos to them) and gives us a chance to chat a little easier about our accomplishments… .I am going to make killerhamster’s post sticky ( she is the first one I saw) and we can all comment there when we are done. It is right below this post. I hope this works for everyone.I cannot believe that some are done already. Seems like they just went out.I am impatiently waiting for most to get their’s so I can post production shots.Hey, guess what I am doing this week??New colorways!! yeah, my head is so very full, I have to get them out on yarn or it is going to explode.–look for a contest soon!knit on!

By popular demand, we’ve created two buttons you can use on your blogs, Web sites, and so on to identify yourself as a member of the 2008 Rockin’ Sock Club. Please feel free to link these to this blog or to the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Web site.

Here are the buttons. If you know how to save these onto your computer and put them on your own Web site, go for it.

If you need the HTML code, here it is.

First graphic: <a href="http://www.rockinsockclub.com/" title="I'm in the Rockin' Sock Club!"><img src="http://rockinsockclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/rsc_member1.gif" alt="I’m in the Rockin' Sock Club!" border="0" /></a>

And, because so many of you are having fun on Ravelry, we’ve made an “official” RSC spoiler graphic you can use when you upload the yarn to your stash, or put the project in your queue.

PLEASE!!
