Don’t you just love the fact that our survey sight is called Survey Monkey? I know I do.
It is going to be one of those days can you feel it?
So here is our first, if a wee bit belated, survey of the year. My hope here is to gain more knowledge to better serve and to enlighten us all.
Thanks for your time in filling this out! Yes I will post the results.

Yes ma’am, yes ma’am, two socks full.
Aren’t they beautiful?
Remember my dream from the first dyer’s notes? The one about the traveling sock and Leslie,Tan and L-B being prime knitters on this project. Well, for my recent birthday I received this lovely pair of Monkeys knit by all three of these wonderful women. They added Gail in, for a bit of good measure, I think. (snicker,giggle) Yes, there were a few tears, I was and am still very touched by this gift.
It is at this point, that I am going to out myself and admit that I guessed the two colorways that they used here wrong. I know! Hard to believe, but nonetheless true. I am deeply ashamed all the way down to my very blue heart.
So my notorious sock knitting friends can you tell which colorways these are? hmmm? Smell a contest?
We will randomly choose 6 NSK’s that correctly guess BOTH of the colorways used. Please EMAIL your guesses to contests@bluemoonfiberarts.com. It starts now and the deadline is June 18th at midnight PDT. Anyone with information leading to the correct answers please mums the word. Yes, Tan, Leslie, L-B and Gail this means you. Sorry guys, I will make it up to you I promise!
The photos are courtesy of Gail and the chicken. ( See Tan they fit well)
Ready, set, guess!!
NOTE: ooops, I just noticed and thought you should know that one of the colors is not on the site at this time. Makes it just a wee bit more challenging.
HINT: My socks are of elemental and mythical origin!
p.s. I am adding a link here on this blog, to the Traveling Sock blog that Les and Alice have created so we can keep up with it. Alice and I think that the sock might need a name. Any thoughts?

May Kit Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | July 02, 2008
I’m knitting the gussets on the Cleo socks and have increased them to 15 sts. It seems like they’re already far enough back on my foot and if I go to 19 sts, the socks aren’t going to fit properly. I’m a novice sock knitter, though, so don’t really trust my own judgment on this.
Has anyone else had this experience with the pattern? And if I stop the gussets now, what other adjustments will I need to make?
