Birthday Sock Test Knit

I am looking for 8-10 people to test the various sizes of my new sock design. This is a pattern that I have had written up for a couple of years but just haven’t had the time to get it typed and tested.

The picture show the ankle version of this sock but I am looking for testers for the full crew length of this pattern.

The sizes that I need tested are:
Small (6.5 – 7.5 inches)
Medium (7.5 – 8.5 inches)
Large (8.5 – 9.5 inches)
Extra Large (9.5 – 10.5 inches)

Yarn & Yardage: this pattern requires a fingering weight yarn with approximately 350-450 yards. This pattern works well for semi-solid, variegated, or self-striping yarns.

Time frame: I would like to get this pattern published Saturday, February 1st.

Requirements: You must have knit socks before and be comfortable with abbreviations, be able to stick to the stated time frame, and have at least the first sock completed.

If you are comfortable with the requirements, please head over to my Ravelry group to sign up!

Review of You're Not Listening by Kate Murphy

You’re Not Listening: What You’re Missing and Why It Matters by Kate   Murphy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


 Disclaimer: I was given an advance reader copy of this book from Celadon Books via BookishFirst in exchange for an honest review.

I was sucked into this book right from the beginning and could not put it down. I have found this book to be very eye-opening in many ways. I have often found myself oversharing in a conversation in an attempt to draw someone back into listening to me or just trailed off because I knew that they really weren't paying attention. When I read that these are actually common ways that people try to get others to listen to them, it made a lot of sense to me.

The whole concept of that if you think someone is boring, you are actually the one not listening is very important to realize and could actually change the way you see people. Also trying to be empathetic in conversation without making it about yourself is another important point that many people need to learn.

I would highly recommend this book for pretty much everyone!
