~*Yes It's A Wee Tiny Bat Sock*~



















I knit this wee tiny bat from the October Wee Tiny Sock Club pattern more pictures on my ravelry project page.
If your interested in knitting wee tiny socks the Winter memberships will be going up for sale in Meg's etsy shop, BraveLittleKnitter, on November 15th at 10AM.
As a member of the Winter 2009 Wee Tiny Sock Club, you would receive a package in the mail each month this Winter, December, January, and February.
Each package will be based around a different winter theme, and would contain:
-An original Meg Bakewell creative wee tiny sock pattern
-A taste of yummy professionally hand-dyed sock yarn, plenty to knit the wee tiny sock
-All notions needed to complete the pattern - for example, beads and beading needle, so you don't have to run out for extra supplies.
-Stitch markers that coordinate with the theme
-Surprise goodies!

In addition, the first package (December) would include a special wee tiny sock blocker hand-made by Meg's husband, ready to be attached to your keys or your favorite knitting bag.
There is a group on ravelry anyone can join to share their love of the wee tiny sock:)

~*Wee Tiny Bride And Groom Socks*~

I had the pleasure of test knitting the patterns for these wee tiny socks for Meg Bakewell and waited to show them to you until she could put the kits in her etsy shop bravelittleknitter.
Also you can purchase just the patterns on ravelry.
The kit includes plenty of yarn to knit both the bride and groom wee tiny socks, about 40 yards in total.
The yarn for the bride is an amazing 100% silk indie dyed confection in the colorway Champagne.
The groom's yarn is 100% merino wool in pure black, along with enough white in a merino-nylon blend for his shirt. Also included are pearly white size 8 glass beads which are knit into the bride's bodice, and a beading needle.

The six page pattern is laser printed with color photos, and includes detailed instructions for knitting with beads (for the bride) and intarsia in the round (for the groom).
The patterns are easy to follow and the wee socks are so darn cute.
Here are pictures of the ones I knit.

Close up Pictures Of The Sockini I Knit From My july Sock Club Kit For Dolores


When I started knitting wee socks they all seemed to be pretty generic.
I joined the Wee Tiny Sock Swap Group on ravelry and I was looking at everyones projects and noticed some people had written the patterns for these amazing wee socks they knit but they weren’t on ravelry.
I then saw that there was a Wee Elf Sock kal and the pattern was available so I knit it and got to know Meg I told her that I thought she should write more patterns as she has knit some amazing wee socks for swaps.
Meg asked me if I thought she should start a club with kits and I was so excitted.

The new quarter sign ups start August 15 2009 you can purchase your spot in the club on that day at Brave Little Knitter her etsy shop the kits have patterns in them for original designs you can only get from Meg and there is fun gifts and themes with every months kit.
There will most likely be only 20 openings so grab one they go fast.
I wanted to be able to knit really cute wee socks for the wee tiny sock swaps I’m in and learn new techniques and now I'm able to and also I'm one of her test knitters for the patterns and it is so much fun:)
Yesterday I got together with my July wee tiny sock swap pal which was ladybuglola who is also my best friend in real life.
Dolores sent me in my package one of the June kit wedding socks she knit and I gave her my July Sockini that I knit.
Check out Megs group on ravelry
Look now I’m knitting amazing wee socks.Thankyou Meg
