Sock Of the Month Club

I joined a Sock-of-the-Month club, the kind where once a month they send you a pattern and enough yarn to make a pair of socks. I've received 3 kits so far and finished about 1/3 of one sock. And I'm not following the pattern. I almost never -- well maybe never--follow a pattern. I have more fun making up my own as I go along.

Of course there are problems with never following a pattern. The gloves I made for sweetie are the prime example. They are beautiful but they are two different sizes. And I remade the second one twice. I have learned to keep count of the stitches. So I think the socks will both be the same size.

Back to the sock of the month club. I am in a sock making frame of mind. I plan to make lots of socks this year. Socks will be given as gifts. But I need to pick up the pace. I've been in the SOM club for 2 months and am 1/6th of the way through one set. At this rate Al is the only one who will experience the Joy of Socks.
