Well, just when I thought that I could go no further with my knitting obsession I joined a group that blows me away! The German sock knitters group is beyond belief. I joined thinking I could use my bad grad school German reading to understand but its more than a little over my head. I can say that language barrier or no its great fun to just check out the blog links. I have seen some great socks and some awesome dying. And just when I thought it couldn't be better, I realized that many Europeans understand some English and have gotten some great email from members of the group.
I have been proud of the fact that I have bought NO yarn since the beginning of the year, but I have been finding some amazing stuff from the SKL. If these vendors ship to the US my yarn diet is doomed. I consider it a bad sign that I have emailed one vendor, the diet is circling the drain.

You should be proud of yourself. I didn't even bother with a yarn diet since knitting and yarn is my drug of choice. Unfortunately lots of vendors ship to the USA. Many times it's actually less expensive with a large order because the yarn a cheaper. Am I enabling?
My husband finally found himself working on a German translation for me on a pattern I didn't understand. He lived there for a few years when he was in the Airforce...
