Sock Heaven!

After hearing all about Socks that Rock from Lime & Violet the past year or so I had my heart set on fondling some of the yarny goodness to try it for myself when I went to the Michigan Fiber Festival this past August. The Fold had a booth there and I seriously had my fingers crossed that they would have some.
Boy, did they! I got there right when the festival opened and marched through until I found the booth. WOW!!!! I couldn't get enough of it! I used restraint and only got two skeins of the lightweight. One in Kaw Kaw and one in Rauen. Needless to say, they just started a growing addiction. Since then I have bought Rocktober and I bought Jade for my mom for Christmas.
As if that wasn't enough, I signed up for the Rockin Sock Club. All I can say is FABULOUS!!!! I got my first installment for the year on Wednesday. If you would like to see that color the spoiler is here. Enjoy!
I am currently knitting the Marialis End-to-End scarf out of some spindle spun (remember that stuff) that I have had laying around FOREVER. About 10 more rows on that baby and I can dive into the socks!
Did I mention the kit comes with beads? BEADS! I'm geeked on that part since I have never knit with beads. Pictures to come soon!
