Sock Wars Update

The yarn, needle, and gauge requirements for Sock Wars was posted today. Another trip to the yarn store was necessary. Instead of your average sock yarn, DK weight is the name of the game. Yarnmonkey says she did this since a lot of newbies enlisted.

Here's a pic of the yarn I bought. It's Lola by Schaefer Yarn. It's a handpainted superwash merino wool. I hope the recipient likes the colors as much as I do. They're a little out there but I thought the bright colors would encourage me to knit faster.
