There was a bit of a blogging hiatus, so I have some catching up to do! Here’s another peek at the 2011 Sock Club. For the second shipment, club members received a sneak preview skein of Lorna’s Laces<\/a> Solemate yarn<\/a> which features a phase change material that helps regulate temperature. It’s totally space age techno stuff that’s used by NASA! The color inspiration was jam, and I think Beth got it just right. The exclusive colorway is Boysenberry Jam, and it is delicious.<\/p>\n

\"Lorna's<\/a><\/p>\n

The two accompanying patterns went with the jammy inspiration.<\/p>\n

\"Boysenberry<\/a><\/p>\n

Above we have the Boysenberry Yo sock in front and the PB&J sock in the background. Every shipment includes a simple pattern for when times are rough and another pattern. The simple pattern in this case is definitely Boysenberry Yo.<\/p>\n

\"PB&J<\/a><\/p>\n

A closer look at the PB&J socks from the side show the two twisted stitch panels criss-crossing over themselves. My favorite detail on the PB&J socks is at the toe.<\/p>\n

\"PB&J<\/a><\/p>\n

I love how many club members are knitting the socks, chatting away in the Ravelry group<\/a>, and posting photos of finished projects. Josiane <\/a>(who lives in Switzerland!) knit the Boysenberry Yo socks in the club yarn:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And enjoyed them enough to knit a second pair in Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock. She’s got some Lorna’s Laces love going on here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s a look at Boysenberry Yo in even more yarns. Sarah <\/a>knit them using String Theory Caper Sock yarn. I forgot to ask her if she fell in love with the yarn after the first shipment or if she already had some lying around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there have been some striped versions in the works. Gretchen<\/a>‘s Morning Glory Yos<\/a> show off the striping and the patterning beautifully.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you didn’t get in on the fun this year, these patterns will be released in April 2012. Or you can sign up for 2012 Club announcements<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
