Once again I need to start my post with a warning:
If you are in the Rockin' Sock Club, have not yet received your kit, and want to be surprised - read no further. There are colourful yarny pictures below.
My March-April Sock Club package arrived Thursday night. I wasn't really expecting it until next week so it was a very pleasant surprise. Abby got super excited when she heard the doorbell and our delivery person had to pass the package to me while I crouched down to hold on to the dog (sometimes having a bigger dog might be easier).
The yarn this month is all sorts of springy colours rolled into one skein of squashy goodness and titled "My Wild Irishgirlie".
The inside of my ball band says "The Maid Behind the Bar". A quick look at what other people are saying about their ball bands on the forum suggests that this is probably the name of a piece of music (Google corroborates this). It sounds to me like something that would be good for dancing and probably sounds great on a fiddle or a pennywistle.
In her Dyer's Notes this time Tina describes a pair of grandparents that seem the sweetest couple in the world. Her grandmother sounds like a wonderful person and from Tina's words I feel like I can picture her so easily. Grandmothers are lovely people.
Neither of the patterns this time around are really pulling at me so far. They both feature a stripe down the front of the foot that I don't care for. I want to finish my snowflake socks before I start anymore socks though so perhaps one of them will grow on me. If not, I'm thinking of doing plain vanilla socks, or maybe some ribs or another pair of Donyales - something simple so I can just enjoy the colours in the yarn.
