Last year Jimmy Beans Wool came out with Birthday Boxes. They are sort of like an advent calendar but they have 31 days and they are for your birthday. I ordered one right away and when it came I stood it in an out of the way spot to await my birthday month. Last weekend I finally started it, ten days late. I have to admit that I really love these sorts of set ups. Everything that I need is right there, the knitting needles, the code for the pattern, the yarn already caked up and ready to go. And I like opening the drawers. This is a pretty nice box too.
The yarn is one that I don’t think I’ve used before - madelinetosh Euro Sock. It has a great feel and is really nice to work with. I am working extra rows with each color to use up as much of the yarn as possible. I have been consistently working 36 rows instead of 26. I just restart the chart at the appropriate spot when I get to the end. Here are the colors so far:
Day 3 - Fathom
Day 4 - Charcoal
Day 6 - Medieval
Day 7 - Tart
Day 8 - Nocturne
Day 10 - Liquid Gold
Pattern: Birthday Bliss by Amy Gunderson
Yarn: madelinetosh Euro Sock
Needle: US 4 (3.5 mm)
