WOW! Look at what I found in my Stash! Sock Club

Yes, that’s right, it’s now time for the Wow!  Look at what I found in my Stash! Sock Club.   The idea was actually Monica’s - mainly, we have way too much sock yarn to be joining any clubs, and yet, we wanted to be special too.

The original name for the club was “I wish I could join a sock yarn club but I already have way too much sock yarn in my stash”. The shortened name would’ve been “IWICJASYCBIAHWTMSYIMS” which is a little cumbersome. So we came up with this dandy club of our own.

Here are the rules:

  1. Once a month, go into your stash.
  2. Find a skein of sock yarn.
  3. Take a picture of it and post it on your blog or just wave it around and go “WOW! Look what I got this month!”
  4. You get extra points if the skein is still in the bag or box you brought it home in.
  5. You get super extra points if the receipt is still with the sock yarn.
  6. You get quadruple points if you actually make a pair of socks out of that skein.

What do you do with the points? If you earn 90 million by the end of the year, you get to buy more sock yarn!

You too could join this fun and exciting group! If you’re on Ravelry the group is here. But you don’t have to be on Ravelry to be part of this awesome group!  Just stick this button on your blog and link back to this post.  (Well, put it on your own server, then stick it on your blog.  Or don’t use the button at all.  We don’t care.):

Then post once a month, and you are SO part of our awesome club.

Thanks to the awesome Julianne for our graphics!

P.S.  You can find me on Ravelry here.

    That’s a great idea! I have yet to join a sock club because I have so much sock yarn, I could start my own.

    [...] I’m not joining because: a) Not a joiner, except for when I am; b) too fucking cheap (ie. WOW sock yarn club), though I must say, $240 isn’t all that bad, but $240 would buy a lot if [...]
