Woolgirl Sock Club #1

Okay, I was so excited about getting my first Woolgirl sock club kit back at the end of February that I took tons of pictures, planning on blogging about it right away. Well, I'm finally ready to write that blog! First of all, here's the box and the happy helper ready to participate in the opening of said box:

Wow! Now that I know how long it takes to upload pictures on free wireless internet from a Ramada Inn, I'll have to instruct you to check out my Majestic socks project in Ravelry, where I've uploaded photos of the kit and my socks. I've been knitting on them while on vacation this week, so the second sock is about halfway done now.

The club kit included a large silk project bag from Lantern Moon (love!), a stitch marker from Mama Llama, some body lotion, a hand decorated card, a Soak sample, a pen that says "Queen of Knitting" (the theme of the kit was Cleopatra!), and a decorated origami box that contained two chocolates. One was silver dusted, one was gold dusted. The kids ate those :). And of course, the yarn and pattern. Two patterns, actually. One for a scarf and one for socks. I opted for the socks, which are cableicious and very time consuming! The yarn is Zen Yarn Garden in Gold Dynasty, a color unique to the 2009 Woolgirl sock club. The yarn is yummy to work with. I don't love the color, which is why I opted for the socks-- I knew I wouldn't wear a gold scarf. Okay, I'll add one photo of the kit, but then I'm going to bed. I have to drive back to Indiana tomorrow!
