Yarn Porn

I have to get caught up on posting the sock yarn I bought. First is the Plucky Knitter sock club. It's the Plucky Classics a merino superwash yarn in the colorway called Madeleine Elster. I also got a tape measure with the yarn.

Then there is the Socks That Rock sock club. Lightweight 100% superwash merino yarn in the goody goody colorway. I received two sock patterns with this yarn.
STR Sock Club - July - Goody Goody
I also couldn't resist ordering Socks that Rock Typhoon Tina in Silkie, Rain Forest Jaspter in lightweight, and Highway 30 in Silkie.
STR - Lightweight and Silkie
Kraemer yarns got a special order of Flat Feet yarn. This is from the Flat Feet sock club. I thought it was different enough to try. Can't wait to see how it knits up.

Last, but not least I ordered Felici from knitpicks in Provence and Mixed Berries. I saw Provence knitted up and it really stripes nice.
Knitpicks - Felici
I ordered some new yarn from Germany (it's not Wollmeise) and I can't wait to get that yarn to see how it compares with Wollmeise. I will post that when it arrives, but it will probably be later in September. Hope I'm not disappointed. I tried to get into the Wollmeise sock club, but didn't make it, so this purchase is to appease me. Wollmeise is like gold now a days because it's so hard to get.

What a great selection of yarn! I can't wait to see your socks. I always have trouble finding the right pattern to go w/the right yarn. How about you?
