I got my package today! Love the yarn! Love the pattern! I am two socks behind right now, though. I have tried to knit them in order, but it doesn’t always work that way.

Enough yarn for ribbing to be added to size small?
September '08 Kit Questions, Warning Spoilage | September 27, 2008
I would like to add 2″ of ribbing to the top of my socks and am knitting the size small. Would I have enough yarn?
What’s Your September Label Say?
Notorious Sock Knitters, September '08 Kit Questions, Warning Spoilage | September 26, 2008
I don’t think this will be a spoiler, truly, any more than Tina’s Under The Sea hints!  (You just have to SEE the gorgeous yarn in person; it’s hard to imagine, no matter how many hints you get.)  My label says, “Perigean Tide”!  I had to think a second; my first thought was, where’s Perigea?  But then I remembered the word perigee and realized it was probably related, duh.  Google says Yes!  Vocabulary building with my new lovely sock yarn & pattern, love it. So what’s your label say this month?Â
Shipping and now….It’s here, it’s here, it’s here!!!!

dearest international sock club members,
I am very sorry but because of knit circumstance beyond our control ( this is the story I am sticking with) everything went to press a bit later than planned.This means that the few day head start your packages usually get will not be possible this time.
We are starting shipping on Monday the 22nd with your packages. The domestic ones start to their journey on Tuesday.
So if we could be extra careful about spoilage and also not looking where we know it will be visible, that would be lovely.
thanks!
Slightly color obsessed mind wants (needs) to know.

Pastel or not. Want to weigh in on this?
I have gotten so many bizarre responses to whether of not this was a pastel.
This inquiring mind wants to know. What is your opinion on the pastelishness of this colorway.
I say, based on the definiton of a pastel, that yes, it most certainly is just that, a PASTEL.
So in the comments please put;
Pastel-if you think it is.
Not pastel -if you think it is not.
thanks!
p.s. I am working on the results of the survey. So you will see them soon.
Gumdrops, Twizzlers, and M&Ms, oh my!
Designer's Corner, Warning Spoilage | July 23, 2008
Hey, all you sock knitters. Wanna hear where the Gumdrops design came from?
It all started innocently enough. One day I noticed that Fir Cone, a classic Shetland lace pattern, was composed of motifs that expanded from a single stitch, then shrunk back to that single stitch, all nestled together in a half-drop arrangement. Hmm, I wondered. What if you put columns of purls between the motifs? And substituted “[k1, yo, k1] in next st” for “yo, k1, yo,” for a less lacy effect? What kind of fabric would you get?
With Socks that Rock, you get a fine fabric indeed–Gumdrops! Stretchy, bouncy, and full of soft, undulating, 3d texture.
But the “wrong” side–what a surprise that was! Really, I can’t say which side I like better. And that’s why these socks have reversible heels and toes–you get to choose which side to wear on the outside, on any given day! Not fond of short-row, garter-stitch heels? Or grafting toes? By all means, feel free to substitute other heels or toes as you please! Go ahead and make these socks your own–after all, where would the Gumdrops socks be if I hadn’t felt free to tweak Fir Cone?
