Maryland Sheep & Wool - Part I
Thursday night Rachel picked me up and we headed to her house in Connecticut to spend the night. Her family has a very old house, especially for a west coast girl like me, so I was rather fascinated with the oldness of it all.
Above is the barn and outhouse, and below is a keyhole in one of the floorboards.
We got up Friday morning and headed down to Maryland via Philly where we stopped at Rosie's Yarn Cellar and got lunch - I had a vegetarian cheesesteak!
Rachel dropped me off at the airport to meet Amanda, and then headed into Baltimore to meet her friend. Amanda and I went to the Nautilus diner to meet Trillian and Turtlegirl for some dinner. Since I had finished socks in the car (and I didn't bring my blockers - I'm not that crazy!) I decided to make them pose with the socks. The other patrons quite possibly thought we were totally nuts.
The socks are Lichen Rib from Knitting Vintage Socks (1/24 for my goal). I'll post more project details when I have a better picture of the socks from the recipient.
We had a lovely dinner and got a group picture before heading back to Amanda's for the night.
Coming soon... Part II!

Heehee! Ginger will get a kick out of knowing that her socks have been well-traveled and are so photogenic! I'll give you a picture link as soon as I get them, and I'll have them modeled on the recipient's foot as well. :)
The socks look great! Looks like you girls had a great time! But where's the yarn?? Those of us who didn't get to go need some yarn poRn to drool over! :) Looking forward to part II.
They were certainly very soft!
It was great to meet you this weekend!
great job on the socks! and adorable sheep too!
I'm so jealous! It looks like you had a great time though. =)
Wow, lucky you, I've got to get south and meet those knittyheads one day - I am sure it was a blast!
