What’s your September 09 label say?
Notorious Sock Knitters, Warning Spoilage | September 26, 2009
I’ve got “SANDSTONE“.
I also mistakenly stated this under last year’s September post… I was just so excited I lost myself in all the giddiness!
Waaah :(

My tracking info shows my package as missent and it’s up in Camas WA. Nice detour, but I was hoping to have it today since I’m laid up with knee surgery and can’t go to OFFF. Just a wee pity party for me.
Fraggle toe questions
May '09 Kit Questions | September 25, 2009
I am having problems with my brain.
I’m making the medium size of the Fraggle rock pattern and I don’t understand how there can be 33 instep stitches given the patterns in play. At the end of the gusset there were 35 instep stitches and working to the end of the 4th round gives me 5 right squiggle, 7bubble stitch and surrounding purls, 10 squiggle lace, 7 bubble, 6 left squiggle — total of 35. Should I just omit the yo’s in the right and left squiggles?
Also, although I think I kind of get the concept behind the pattern toe, I don’t understand the directions. Can anyone rephrase in terms of the position at the beginning or end of the instep or sole sections? It says “next decrease” for both 2nd and 4th but shouldn’t one be done at the end of the instep/beg of sole and the other beg of instep, end of sole?
Thanks
Colors are fading
Notorious Sock Knitters | September 24, 2009
Hi Tina: I am having problems with severe fading of the yarn (blue from the beaded and the last fall garden colors which I love but after the first wash dull compared to remaining yarn). I wash in cold water and use Woolite. Help, what am I doing wrong?

The Dyer Is In
Announcements | September 23, 2009
As much as I am ever in.
So you ask a question or share a thought related to what might be coming your way this shipment and then I will respond appropriately. Okay… or inappropriately as inspired.
I do not sit at a computer all day so responses will not be instant. I will do my best to be timely. Carrying laptop everywhere so you will be my constant companions.
Kind of nice.
Humpty Dumpty…

Actually more like klutzy wutzy. Has anyone noticed how late we are? We are very, very late for what we consider a very important date, and it is all my fault. You see, I am a bit of a klutz, always have been. If I slowed down, I probably fair a bit better but that is just not going to happen, so I walk into things and I fall, mostly getting a bit bruised and sore.
Well… over a week ago I tripped on a piece of sidewalk and went down fast and hard and hit my head. I am fine, just a bit of a brain jiggle, which made it a little hard to meet deadlines.
So… what that means to you is that we will be start shipping on Thursday when the pattern and dyer’s notes are here.
Stay tuned for your playlist and a contest. I am going to run out (carefully) and proof the pattern and notes so they can got to press.
I am really sorry!
Hint 1: We are revisiting a popular sock club theme.
UPDATE:
OK on Wednesday we will play a new RSC game called “the Dyer is in”. You can ask hint type questions and I will answer them. The answers could be straight forward, in code, in rhymne or pun (you know how I feel about those) or even a riddle. Remember I have led you down the garden path before so… all in good fun and it is most certainly not my fault.
I will post with the subject line of ” The Dyer Is In” and you can put your questions in the comments and I will respond to them there.
I think the next one we will try is “Stump the Dyer”.
And a crash helmet is not a bad idea. Although I have to say with all my klutzy maneuvers this is the very first time I have hit my head.
