[...] These will not be coming with me to Rhinebeck though as it would be damn near impossible for me to maintain any sort of communication while executing a 12 row chart on size 1’s. Unless I changed my mind (again) and decided to do plain ole vanilla stockinette…maybe with a picot cuff? Anyhow…here’s Scout’s Socktoberfest colorway in the Diamante pattern from the new Knitty. I’ve gotten mixed reviews so far. Some have thought it too busy, or that the colors are overpowering the diamonds, or that the pattern is taking away from the beauty that is the yarn itself, and others have liked it as is. I’m sitting on the fence here and my butt is starting to hurt from the pickets poking me. Any advice/comments/suggestions oh wise and knowledgeable bloggers? [...]

[...] Further proof that I am a loser? I joined Socktoberfest, it’s October 5th already, and I have yet to touch a sock…my excuse? I’m waiting for my Socktoberfest yarn from Scout.

[...] Yeah, long story, but Scout? I know you’re totally busy dyeing 35 skeins for the sock club, and that you have like 30 million orders of that Socktoberfest Yarn, but if you feel compelled to write up those directions for winding that warping board of yours…well I’d volunteer to be your slave helper for dyeing the next month’s worth of sock club yarn. Cause I totally didn’t wind the Pink Panther right, and it definitely didn’t go back on the board right, so it became a giant tangled mess. It’s almost done being wound into a nice little ball, since everytime I walk by it, I weave the ball through the tangled parts just a little bit more. I’m hoping to be done with it sometime before I die, but there is a lot of it. Hopefully Lori is blessed with patience as much as luck…did you know that this is her 3rd consecutive win on a sock yarn contest? [...]

Oh, I hope you dye some omore of that bewtiching yarn! I have never wanted to order a yarn so badly. I will be watching ( witching) and wishing ( witching) to see you sell some more. You are the best at color! So cool!
