Most of the time I feel like I live under a rock. Perhaps it’s because I usually have my nose buried in a book or it could be that 99% of my time online is controlled by my gossipy, “have to know everything” evil twin self. But pandemic me has discovered that I have another hobby – Internet ‘window’ shopping (total mom joke). And while I believe that my yarn collection has grown enough to warrant adding it to my living trust, there is another thing that I have gained – knick knacks that I didn’t know existed.    Each week I feel like I see my favorite LYS or influencer market something that I had no idea existed! Knitting pod? Count me in. little clay stitch markers? Yes please! A Sock Blank….wait what? I first saw it during the Rose City Yarn Crawl at a local shop, Ritual Dyes. And just recently I say KenYarn selling some blanks. But what are they? And why would I want a sock blank?    Folks who dye yarn are quite familiar with sock blanks, but I’m not a dyer...
