Ok, so now I can post about it...
I wrote my first pattern!!! And, it's being used by Make1 Yarn Studio for their sock club as the first pattern for 2007. **Gulp** I am both totally elated and totally nervous at the same time. I mean, what if there are glaring errors in the pattern? What if people hate it? What if? What if? This pattern is going out to a lot of people... too scary and cool all at the same time.
Ok, deep breath. As the ever wise Claudia puts it... well, check out #6. I guess no one will really die or go to jail if the pattern is a bit off... ok.
If you want to check out the pattern, check out the Make1 website.
This has been such a great week for me, truly. Besides having my pattern used for sock club, I am pleased to announce that I got the promotion that I was hoping for has been awarded. When I come back to work after my mat leave, I will be in a new position with a nice raise. The letter came today and I am totally thrilled. I have been working for the last two years to get this position.
So, on that happy note, I have two more weeks of work left and then I have the next while to spend at home with Bunny and the New Bean. Life is sweet.
Edited to add: I totally forgot - my sockapalooza pal left me a message asking how big my calf is around - it's 15.5" and from heel to back of knee is 15". Thanks sock pal! I can't wait!

About Me
- Trish
- I started knitting in November of 2004 and wanted to create a BLOG to keep track of my projects, thoughts and designs. I also do Labor Relations for a large scale Canadian Union. It's very interesting and sometimes very frustrating... but, all in all, very rewarding. My most important job however, is to be a mom to a beautiful little girl who always keeps me on my toes. We are expecting another little bean shortly and Bunny is excited to become a big sister finally. I try to knit every night and want to branch out into designing my own patterns.
It's been days since my last yarn purchase!

Yay! Now I can start! My fingers have been itching to do some stitching! hehehe, I crack myself up!
I love the pattern Trish! I'm not part of the sock club though... is there any way i could purchase a copy?
Hi Gina,
I think if you call Make1 (www.make1yarns.com/blog) and ask them, they may be willing to sell the pattern alone. I will ask tomorrow at knit night and get back to you as to the policy on this. So flattered that you like the pattern so much!
