Personal Sock Club with A Twist

A few weeks ago an idea that had been raised by LynS earlier this year began to form into something a little more structured.

The Super Special Six Pattern Sock Club (S62011) took form.

In a nutshell it's a personal sock club with a Twist. The Twist is a group of us all sign-up and we select six patterns for us all to knit at the same time over the course of 2011

• 6 patterns for the year
• We all knit the same pattern at the same time
• Using yarn put away for the year from our existing stash (wrapped)
  

Wild Card - each member gets a wild card that can be excercised to vary from the selected sock pattern at the time.

This book is fantastic I am enjoying every page and the accompanying music.
The anecdotes and items are starting to build threads with previous songs and is starting to build. Honestly, you could easily read this by dipping in at any point and not miss anything.
