1.5

I was going to be really good and post only about socks I started on April 1st or later. But this week I was shown already how life is going to get in the way of making socks on a regular basis, no matter how I wish I had time to make a brandnew pair every week.
So I finished this little pair (size 6 needles, Nature Spun Worsted, 32 sts!), which I've had on the needles.


And I finished the one sock that I actually started on 4/1:
Socks that Rock in colorway Bleeding Hearts. Size 1 needles, 60 sts.
I LOVE that color.
I am a Socks that Rock virgin no more.


I'll post when I have the pair done. The second one is half way there...

Now: where do you all get your STR yarn? I only have 2 more hanks, from last year's sheep and wool fest in Rhinebeck, NY.

very pretty I LOVE STR i'm VERY lucky, only 2 stores in all of Canada carry STR in stock, my LYS River City Yarns here in Edmonton, and Lettuce Knit in Toronto is the other store that carries it :) I think it has too be ordered online

If you go to the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Company they do list of retail stores that carry their yarn. If none are available in your area then you can order the yarn directly from them @ http://www.bluemoonfiberarts.com/.

Nice socks!
From your count, won't your stash last until Rhinebeck? Maybe by then we can get a West Coast roadtrip together to raid all the LYS's with STR...

I've ordered (a lot) from their website. I live in Holland and there are no STR selling store over here as far as I know. That pink colorway is awsome! I so gotta cast on right now.

Life does have a way of getting in the way of knitting all too often. Nice socks.

I can't help you with STR. I am a total virgin. I have never even seen it "in person".

I had to join Knitters Anonymous because of Socks That Rock yarn :D I buy all of mine online from their website (see Claudia's post above for the URL) and I am in the Rockin Sock Club 2007. They had some memberships available at the end of last week, I don't know if they are still open.
