Sock Club Reflections
I think by now the entirety of the online knitting community knows about sock clubs. We all see the frenzy when the announcement of a new one by a favorite dyer appears. There was righteous outrage splashed all over the blogs when we heard about the Blue Moon/bank debacle.
But I’d left the sock club joining to others. Sure, there’s fun and mystery in anticipating a new, exclusive colorway every two months. But it’s not not for me. Until I saw two words pre-appended to the words “sock club”: “Zen String.”
September 2007: Serendipity Fingering in “Reflections”
I love how she didn’t go with the traditional fall colors of vivid orange, red, and brown, but used pastels, like staring into a real pool of water. (The picture she included in her club letter was beautiful and perfect.) I think this yarn will be fabulous knit into a pair of Monkeys as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend’s mom–that is, if I can give them up. And luckily, none of the non-knitters I know read this blog, so I shall be free to post all about them.

Oooh, that’s some pretty yarn. I’ve never used Zen String but it looks quite nice.

That’s pretty! I really have enjoyed the RSC. I wanted to join sundaras too but I waited too long. In general though I think I’d rather pick my own colors. However I do love getting the packages.

The colorway is gonna be fantastic pair of Monkeys. Your BF’s mom is super lucky!

Lovely yarn! Is it as soft as it appears? Reminds me of end of the summer snow cones.
