A wicked good blog about homestead happenings in the shadow of Mount Katahdin, Maine. Many ramblings are sure to happen here, including, but not limited to, knitting, sewing, chickens, gardening, canning, freeze drying, general homestead wanna-be stuff (you can be a homesteader with just chickens, right?!?), and any other activities that manage to capture my short little attention span at the time.

February Solo Sock Club
It turns out February kept me quite busy at my day job. Since only about 2 people read this blog, day job won out over blog posts. I did, however, finish my February socks a while back. The yarn I pulled for February was a self-striping yarn in an American flag pattern.
The yarn is from Artistic Yarn by Abi. Truth be told, this one has been in stash for a loooooooong time. I don't think she sells this pattern any longer; she may have changed her business name since I bought this yarn. That's one of the features of the Solo Sock Club, though - I get to use up amazing yarns that have been languishing in storage so long that I forgot I even owned them.
Because this is a self-striping yarn, I opted for a vanilla pattern to let the colors shine on this pair. I am very pleased that this yarn was pulled early in the year...recall that I didn't label the bags and I'm choosing them at random. I'm glad I will have the flag socks ready to go for Memorial Day and the 4th of July. I mean, I won't hesitate to wear them any time of year, but it's nice to have themed socks available when a holiday rolls around.
Stay tuned to see the March sock club yarn and pattern.

February Solo Sock Club Yarn and Pattern
It's March! I know what you're thinking, but I didn't skip February in the sock club. I simply didn't post about it (I know).
The January socks turned out great. Here's the yarn for the February socks:
Due to the self-striping nature of the sock yarn, these will be knit up in a vanilla sock pattern so that it doesn't look too busy with all the color changes.
Stay tuned to see the finished socks!
