Yet More Club Shipments

This is The Unique Sheep's Rubber Ducky shipment for October -- "Pumpkin Patch". Checkout the pie wedge stitch marker. It also came with pumpkin spice soap, which is being used already.

Here is my last Yarntini Semi-Solid Summer Sock Club Shipment. This is the bonus skein of cashmere that we got for being in the club for the whole 6-months. It will be a cowl of some kind.

This is Concord --lovely!

White Oak Studios TV yarn featuring "The Munster's" The next shipment (Chocolat) will me my last one as well. I am drowning sea of yarn!

I really have to start knitting with this stuff! I have non-so-patiently waiting for my Woolgirl shipment. I have seen the spoilers and I really want it to get here! Maybe today..........

Some Finished Projects

I have been out-of-commission for 3 weeks with Swine Flue/Bronchitis. Today is the first day I feel somewhat normal and so I am updating my blog.

Here are some socks I finished recently. The colorway, by Yarnlust , is "Oakland Athletics." I am a huge baseball fan and so I love this colorway, but is also my sons' school colors. GO DUCKS!

Toe-up with a 3x2 rib. Easy -peasy!

I knit this up for my sister who is pregnant with a boy! My boys calls my sister "Auntie" and so I will be "A.J" cuz there is only ONE Auntie!


I am doing some secret knitting for my Aunt and my nephew so I can't post those --yet!

August Clubs

This is my Woolgirl August Shipment -- Lady Bugs!


You can't really tell form this picture, but the black yarn has a red undertone to it.

The pattern is adorable and the pen has a tape measure at the end. We got cute stickers, a ladybug container and emery board and a fiber sphere!

This is White Oak Studio TV Sock Yarn Club --"Happy Days" and bellow is Yarntini's Semi-Solid Summer Sock Club shipment called "Summer Sunset" ( selling for $20 BTW)

Lots of fiber fun in my house!

June Club Shipments

Believe it or not, I have cut down my club shipments. .... This is Yartini's "Lemoncello" which I have to say I am destashing already. Not really my color....

This is My Rubber Ducky in Lilac --includes soap of the same scent with a great scrub.

The Unique Sheep's yarn is soft and lovely!

Woolgirl's shipment, Raining Cats and Dogs", was over the top. Check out all the cat and dog goodies: 2 patterns, assorted charms and stickers, wool wash, note cards, an umbrella tape measure, paw-shaped needle gauge, a darling bone shaped calculator, and pattern tamers (my personal fav!).
The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy and look at those adorable stitch markers!


Other knitting news: I am almost finished with those Primavera Socks I started last June. Only 15 rows of the cuff and I am done! I will have 4 new yarns to show off soon!

Socks!

Well I am trying to get socks off-the-needles! These were from sKnithces Cinema Club, called "Feed Me Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors. I call them Lily's socks because my friend's dog, Lily, took them from the table and ran around with them in her mouth whilel they were OTN!

These blue ones are Widdershins that my LYS store had a class on. The yarn is Classic Elite Alpaca Sock. I have 4 more OTN and am working hard to finish those as well!

Woolgirl Sock Clubl

This was an Ireland theme this time. Hence the sheep -- they are very small, smaller than a quarter.
Of course Jen loads us up with goodies: tape measure, card, note pad, oh the cookie which last about 5 minutes!
The yarn is from Curious Creek and is gorgeous! And look at the darling stitch marker!
To top it all off she sent us this great knitting bag. You can't tell from the pic, but the bottom zips open for extra room and it has tons of pockets to store yarn! Love it! You can click of the photo to more detail.
