I agreed to join Regina @CosmicKnitter in a Self-Imposed Sock Club for 2027. Read more about it here.
The saying, “you can never have too much/many fill in the blank ” applies to lots of things. I am at that stage in my life when that is not true.
I have too much yarn.
And fabric.
And it’s time to use it or get rid of it.
Sorry, do you need some smelling salts?
So I’m on board with a Self-Imposed Sock Club in 2027. The plan is to gather the yarns and patterns for 12 pairs of socks, put them in an opaque bag, then pick one bag each month and knit those socks. I could sew a project bag for each month!
I subscribed to a club a few years ago that knit one pair every two months. The pattern was released at the beginning of the month so you didn’t know what it was until then. Sometimes I liked/loved the pattern and sometimes I didn’t.
I will choose patterns I like along with the appropriate color so I will have no one to blame but myself if I don’t like the outcome.
I’ve got the yarn…
The 64-quart tub in the middle is full of fingering-weight/sock yarn.

Leftover hand-dyed and other miscellaneous yarns.
Yarns purchased for various projects that were never begun.
Needless to say, I have enough yarn for twelve pairs of socks to continue this for a few years.
Now to pick twelve patterns…
Anybody want to join us?

Great start! You have lovely yarns to work with. Sewing a project bag for the socks is genius! Win-win!!

For some reason I’m more motivated to sew than knit. Perhaps it’s more of an instant gratification than knitting.

I would be jumping on this – if I didn’t already have a few years of knitting already lined up, patterns, yarn and all. That’s before Holiday requests come in and jump the queue!
