Unique Sheep: Ram Club: Work Socks with a Twist

Ok, I know it's not his sweater, but I am making progress on Work Socks for the DH. I think I might have picked a size or two too large though. I'm not sure on the Sock knitting for the DH though. Socks are pretty much a disposable commodity for him. He's very much a 12 pairs for $9 kind of guy. Any color, as long as they're white, and come in huge multiples so he doesn't have to work too much at matching pairs. So, we'll see if this is a total waste of time. Wait a minute: I must be having a mind lag. Knitting is never a waste of time! If nothing else, I have had hours of enjoyment and relaxation from handling some very lovely yarn. In an interesting color combination that I would probably not have chosen on my own. It really is striking knit up, in a very guy kind of way. We'll see if this works the magic it's supposed to on the reluctant hubby. Maybe the Full Moon and the Halloween influences will complete the spell and influence him to not point out my fatal fiber obsessions as much.
We'll see.......

The Ram Club for Men's Socks

Help me eeeee! I don't remember exactly what lead up to it, but I think I signed up for a "Men's Sock Club"? The Sock Club for Men? hee hee heee. Well, I do have plenty of "Men" in my socalled life that I could knit for, right? Maybe it was the Ram thing. I'm heavily influenced by Aries.
It's at theuniquesheep.com. I vaguely remember finding it during March Madknits when I was looking for Jayhawk color yarn for Jaywalker Socks. Or maybe it was when I started searching for Sock Wars. Today, I had to go to PayPal to find out what the actual website was. When I got there, it is soo cool. But, they're not going to start shipping stuff until August. Whew! I've got to get through the Six_Sox and then there's going to be Sock Wars III in May. I'm soooo into this stuff. But, I have got to stop buying 4 or 5 new yarns for each One that I use up. All my stash hiding spots are overflowing. I started to use the Ravelry stash list a while back and really got to get back into it.
A few days ago, I came across a blog where a woman has listed how many Yards of Yarn she owns.
Is there anyone here that actually KNOWS how much yarn they have? Exactly, down to the Yard ?
Boggles the mind.
