Sock Yarn That Rocks

Ever since I got the email from Blue Moon, I've been waiting on pins and needles for my sock club kit to arrive. This is my first year in the sock club, and I may be a bit over-eager, given that I have no idea when I'll have time to actually knit the socks.

Nonetheless, I did a little happy dance when I came home on Friday and found this on the porch:

Look! Sock yarn button! Sock yarn sticker! Sock yarn!

The colorway is Monsoon, and it captures the rainy season here in the PAcific Northwest perfectly. Everything is grey skies and evergreen trees (not that we'd have it any other way).


And looky! A tiny skein of emergency sock yarn (keys not included):


It's probably worth noting here that Matt looked up from his catnap while I was tearing into my package and said, "More yarn?" It's even possible that he conveyed, in those two words, an opinion about the size of my stash and my ability to ever finish knitting it. I did try to explain that it's sock yarn, and besides, it's an exclusive colorway unavailable to the rest of the world until next year, and besides, look, it came with stuff!

He was unmoved.
