I have finished the first socks in this year's Cookie A Sock Club!
Newton by Cookie A (
my pattern page)
These socks were knit in the most squooshable (that is so a word!) sock yarn ever, MCN (merino, cashmere, nylon) from Indigo Dragonfly. I had to hold myself back from ordering more...after all, this is just the first club yarn shipment. And the second one arrived on Monday!
I should have made a size small instead of medium; they are a little loose and prone to fall down. But more than likely my odds-defying washing machine will render them a little smaller no matter how carefully I bag and hand-wash-cycle them. Whoever said that front-loading machines can't felt has not met my Tromm.
So this means I'm caught up, right? Let's ignore the fact that to enter the monthly drawing, I could have actually used this yarn to knit something different, then knit the TWO patterns we got with another sock yarn, for a total of FIVE entries (with the two batches of cookies I baked...oh yes, did I mention that along with the two sock patterns, we get two cookie recipes??) I used the club yarn, and knit some club socks. DONE!
Right?

Please, let's not talk about the fact that I won't get to wear these socks for another six months. Actually, YES, let's talk about that! HOORAY FOR SPRING!!!

Love them! Looking forward to seeing what this next installment has brought you
Great socks! I hope they shrink exactly the right amount and then say perfectly fitted.
