Sock Sisterhood

In a lovely card, Dianne and Linda wrote, "By the power vested me by NSK (Notorious Sock Knitters): You have been nominated and unanimously voted into The Local Sock Sisters Association."

And accompanying the card was this work of art. It's Blue Moon Fiber/Socks That Rock heavyweight yarn in the "Rolling Stone" colorway. I was blown away by all of it. The card was wonderful, the adoption was great and the fiber....oh the fiber....it's magnificent. :)


Thank you sooooooo much Dianne & Linda!


Now having this incredible yarn, I had to find patterns "good enough" for it. That said, I found the following two sock patterns from Fiber Trends.





On the left is "Leaf Lace" and on the right, "Hellen's Favorites." Below is what I started this weekend.









I had already begun a new pair of socks before receving the STR. Needless to say, I finished them off as quickly as I could and here's the end result. I used the Cascase Tweed and a "Bed Sock" pattern that came from my Stitch 'n Bitch Page-A-Day calendar.

Linda and Dianne - - Thank you again! I'm thoroughly loving my new sock addiction, as well as being in the sisterhood! XOXOX

And you resisted the call of the Mighty Sock! ha!!
That yarn is yummy. I can't wait to see those socks finished. I'm with robin; when I get yarn that gorgeous without having a pattern in mind, I spend forever looking for a pattern that will do it justice.
