Serious. Sock. Content.

Thanks to Monika of Smoking Hot Needles, I found A-nother thing I just ‘HAD To Have.’   Well, I better clarify.  I went to THIS website and saw all these wonderful, amazing socks.  You can order them as kits or as single patterns.  All I can say is “Oh.  My.”   While I was at Yarnissima, I went and found a conversion chart and figured out just how much one of these amazing kits would cost me.  All I could say then was “Oh.  My.”   and then I closed the browser without making a purchase.  I must have signed up to receive updates because I receive an update a few weeks later from Yarnissima stating that they had updated inventory and kits were in stock.  Silly me went to the website and Currency Rate be Damned, I pushed the ‘buy me now’ button for La Digitessa.  Who the hell cares if I have to eat peanut butter and jelly in the dark, I will have a beautiful sock kit to knit during daylight hours, LOL.  Well, it seriously won’t affect my budget to that degree (but the gas prices may), but it was enough to make me think twice.  So, enough about my waffling over the purchase decision.  My Yarnissima package was in my mailbox Saturday.  Oh, what a yummy package it was too.

Organanza ribbon, tissue paper, cute little business cards, a little wooden lady bug, feathers….oh and Chocolate.  Did you know that Toblerone comes in White Chocolate???   There were some chocolate chocolate things too.  But, best of all was the Wollmeise yarn.  Give me an Oh. My. and an Amen!

Now for the pattern.  15 pages of pattern.  What the hell was I thinking???   Wellll some of the pages Are charts….   Speaking of charts, a small laminated card was included that is for the main chart so you can carry it around with you in your portable sock bag.  Somehow, I just don’t know how portable this puppy will be.  This is a toe up socks with lots of patterns, a very interesting gusset and traveling stitches.  Not sure what those traveling stitches are, but I will find out.  Someday.

On to Ravelry.  I love Ravelry for different reasons.  Some of the biggest reasons are:  You can input a name of yarn and see all the projects people have made or are working on in that yarn.  Another reason is you can input the name of a pattern and see what yarns are all being made into that pattern.  Too cool.  It’s like wanting to get your hair dyed or paint your walls and you can push a button and see what the different colors would look like before you have to commit.  Amen again. The correlation to Ravelry and Yarnissima is there is a Yarnissima group for this vendor and I am not the only one that is a member or that succumbed and pushed the ‘buy me now’ button.  From reading the posts in this group, I learned that the pattern I purchased is likely the most challenging.  Figures.  I think I may go back and download the Firestarter as that is where I believe I should start.  Hey, best part is….Firestarter is FREE.

Big news:  I have been working diligently on my Yarn/Fiber room.  It is almost bursting at the seams and I need to think about transferring my fiber over to my office/bead room.  Not quite yet though, but it is a though.  I have about two piles of ‘stuff’ left to figure out what to do with and I will be able to say “This Room Is Clean.”  My friend that cleans my house saw it last Thursday and said “oh, you have a path in there now.”   Now, it was much more than a path, it was a safety zone.  I don’t have to play twister to walk across the room.  I spent about 4 or 5 hours in there this past Sunday and put together this cubicle type thing I purchased at Target on sale.  On
