October 2008 Woolgirl Sock Club
It was inspired around a Japanese Cherry Blossom print that Jennifer saw last year. This month’s yarn was dyed by Jessie from Yarntini. It is so yummy and squishy. Yarntini can be a tough yarn to get, so I am very happy to finally get a chance to feel it in person and knit with it.
The sock pattern is designed by Chrissy Gardiner. It is a toe up pattern and has two different pattern charts. I’m not so sure about the toe up part, but like everything else I am always willing to learn something new. The front of the sock is knit in a Petal Lace pattern and the back of the sock is knit in a Cherry Tree pattern.
As usual the extras are yummy and good. There is a notepad with the Woolgirl sock club log on it. The notebook has a closure and a pen, so it is perfect for using as a knitting log. There is a Cherry Blossom tea from Tea Zone, along with a tea ball, and a sugar swizzle stick. The swizzle stick has already been claimed by my daughter 
. Jana from White Oak Studios created a red stitch marker to compliment the set. There is also a nice gift box from Biggs and Featherbelle (love their name, where does Jenn find these companies?) with a Cherry Blossom body butter bar and body soak. The sturdy box is decorated with cherry blossoms.
Starting next month (November) sign ups begin for the 2009 Woolgirl Sock Club. I will let you know when she opens it up to new members.
