I am really enjoying my sock club deliveres from Lush! This is the April instalment and I received another gorgeous skein of yarn, this time Chartreuse is the color. My sister commented how much she loved it too but I decided before they arrived that the sock club yarns were going to be knit into socks for ME. I also received a sock pattern, some natural goat soap, and a cute little notepad. I am knitting up a different pattern to the one that they sent me though and I will tell you all about that another day, but I have gotten past the heel on the first sock. I must stop knitting so much on socks for such a long period of time as I get rather sore arms for some reason. Maybe scheduled hourly knits on the socks might be a better idea! The cold weather we have been having in Melbourne has made me want to snuggle under a blanket on the couch and knit away though, and I have even turned the heater on too. Stay warm!

I must check back when you are talking sock patterns...in this weather I feel inspired to knit myself my first pair of real socks!
It is such a lovely colour!! It is cool here too, I ahve broken out the cardigans and the hot water bottle!!
Love the gorgeous colour of your sock yarn!
Learning to knit socks has been on my list of things to do for some time now.I look forward to seeing your finished product,
I had a handknitted cardigan in that green,such a great colour.
Ooo! That is cool. The weather has cooled in western Sydney but not that much. 9*C last night; 27*C today.
OH, that green is gorgeous! Lucky you!
good for you - you deserve to knit something nice for yourself!
I'm vicariously enjoying your membership in this sock club!
Lovely yarn & goodies. My fingers ache if I knit socks all the time so I have a few projects with different needles sizes & stitch patterns. I try to spend equal time with each project every day. It helps.
You are certainly doing well with the socks this year. I'm afraid I'm languishing again and thinking of a trip to the LYS for fresh supplies for a waistcoat instead.
Great green!
Cheers Gillian
Has the weather turned cool? It was lovely and mild when I was there last week... but then my perceptions are probably skewed due to living further south :)
I love all your sock pictures (9 days?? those puddle socks *must* be addictive), and the sewn pears are gorgeous!! I may have to cobble one of those together just to try it.
thanks for visiting my blog :)
Oh it looks so yummy I am yet to receive my April parcel. Fingers crossed it comes very soon.
