I have all good intentions. To do with lots of things, but lately, mostly to do with yarn.
\nI tell myself “I’ll knit two projects before I can buy yarn for one” and “No more sock yarn!”. Stuff like “If I knit a pair of socks a month, I’ll be through the stash in around 5 years!” And that would be true. If I stopped buying yarn.
\nYou know where this is going, don’t you?
\nI got a new sock club shipment from Needlefood<\/a>! (That makes five sock skeins in a week. How many is too many?)
\n

\nThis sock club has been fabulous! I haven’t got a single complaint about it, wonderful value for money, packages mailed promptly, and always great contents!
\nThis time around we got a skein of sock yarn in the colourway “Purple Coneflower”, some fruit tea, chocolate, stitch markers and a gorgeous little pair of capped scissors with our initial bead on it. Each shipment has also had a handwritten note. I’ll definitely be signing up again for the next round. (That sock stash isn’t going anywhere!)
\nSometimes I actually knit with the yarn, not just collect it, I swear! I finished my Firestarters, spurred on by the growing stash, I think.
\n

\nI really love this pattern, I knit them last year<\/a> in Dream In Color Smooshy, but gave them to Ailsa<\/a> for her birthday. They were huge, and she said “I’ll have them!” So she did.
\nThese ones are all mine!
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Firestarters<\/a> by Yarnissima<\/a>
\nYarn: Wollmeise sock yarn in Granatapfal
\nNeedles: My awesome 2.25mm Kollage Square DPNS
\nMods: None! These came out huge in the Smooshy, but they’re perfect in the Wollmeise. I think I’ll treat Smooshy as a sportweight from now on, and see how I go.
\nI also finished both Sophie and Elijah, but keep forgetting to take pictures. I started something new.
\n

\nAny guesses?
\nAnd I’ve been sewing. Costumes, but some fun stuff, too. I’m trying to use up my (non-insubstantial!) fabric stash, so I tried my hand at some box pouches.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI’m pretty pleased with these! I have plans, great plans. My house may end up taken over by box pouches. A new kind of stash!
\nThey’re a nice size, just right for a sock project. I just sort of guessed as I went, so it was all a lucky turn of events.

\nAnd there you see my next Personal Sock Club project poking out. Noro Kureyon Sock, destined to be the entrelac socks that I started and gave up on a little while back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
