			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>About a year ago, I was first informed about sock clubs. Being the avid &#8220;must have everything&#8221; person that I am, I applied to get in on <a title="The Loopy Ewe" href="http://www.theloopyewe.com/" target="_blank">The Loopy Ewe</a> sock club lottery. I was not picked and was desperately looking for one to join. I went on plurk and asked my knitting friends if they knew of any sock clubs that were still open, or were willing to take late adds. <a title="Plurk: Lalaranel" href="http://www.plurk.com/lalaranel" target="_blank">Lalaranel</a> was the first to point me in <a title="Wool Girl" href="http://www.woolgirl.com/" target="_blank">the right direction</a>.</p>
	<p>I emailed Jennifer over at <a title="Wool Girl" href="http://www.woolgirl.com/" target="_blank">Woolgirl.com</a> and she was very kind to take me into her sock club at the very last minute. I paid my dues and waited with anticipation for the first shipment to arrive. I think there have been 4 shipments already received (the October one should be coming soon), and they&#8217;ve all been lovely. They have all had the best things for goodies and the yarn has been lovely. I&#8217;ve been a lazy bum and have not actually knit a single pair of socks, but lemme tell you, there&#8217;ll be a day when I will, and I will enjoy the hell out of it.</p>
	<p>** Note: There are these groups on Ravelry where you can sell kits that you didn&#8217;t <em>love</em> to someone who didn&#8217;t get a chance to join the club, etc. For some reason, this idea has not occurred to me. In any way.</p>
	<p>In the last kit I received (The Ladybug kit) I also got a <a title="Fibersphere" href="http://www.thefibersphere.com/index.shtml" target="_blank">Fibersphere</a> ball. Now, in the past I picked up a <a title="Yarntainer" href="http://yarntainer.com/" target="_blank">Yarntainer</a> on sale from <a title="Joann" href="http://www.joann.com/" target="_blank">Joann</a>&#8216;s. I loved the idea. I really did. Until I went to use it for an actual project. Then I was frustrated and annoyed with the fact that I either had to finish my project or cut the yarn to get the ball out and use it for another project.</p>
	<p>I love the Fibersphere ball. I really do. Except I wish it were just a little bit flat at the bottom so that it wouldn&#8217;t roll around when placed on a table. Otherwise&#8230; It&#8217;s pretty damn awesome and I&#8217;m glad Jennifer included it in one of the kits.</p>
	<p>In other news, the sweater is coming along (finally!!).
