Whew!
Last week was a whirlwind of socks!
Thursday morning I woke bright (ok, actually dark) and early to get on a train to Portland and Sock Summit. To be truthful, I was waking at 5am after a 2 hour "nap", since I stayed up til 3am packing and wondering where my summer clothes were once I heard it was going to be in the 80s in Portland. We haven't had much summer this year.
After a train trip of knitting and dozing, I arrived and sat down for a bit of knitting:
Then I met up with the lovely Stephania of Three Fates yarns to hand over my sock samples. I totally should have gotten a picture of them hanging in her booth, but alas I did not.
I helped Shannon set up at the Cooperative Press booth and had my first Voodoo Donut, scored a bit of Goth Socks when the market opened, and then went and sold CP grab bags until it closed again and we went to get dinner.
Friday morning I had a class, then headed to the market place where I alternated between helping at the CP booth and wandering the marketplace while knitting the socks above. I bought a few more skeins of yarn too. Just before leaving, Cookie A took a picture of my Twisted Flower socks!
I was lucky enough to have dinner with some fun and fabulously knitty people, including Kate Atherley who designed the My Vampire Boyfriend socks which I am currently neglecting - but they're awesome socks, and I'm totally going to finish them! - and Sarah from Sanguine Gryphon.
Saturday was more marketplacing and booth-sitting, and dinner with a friend who was down for just the day, then early to bed.
Sunday morning we could barely get out of bed - sometimes all the socky excitement is just too much! But we managed and headed into Sock Summit for one last fun-filled day. I skipped out for lunch and took the Max downtown with Lacey, where we knit socks... of course.
Afterwards I had a low key dinner with Shannon and then she got a tattoo! I love accompanying people on their tattoo appointments!
Then it was up even more early on Monday to head over to Knit Picks. I saw fabulous new yarns, met Stacey who I had only corresponded with by email, and filmed some video.
On the train home, I finished some socks:
Yarn: Jarbo Mini Raggi
Started: 4/29/11
Finished: 8/1/11
And the rest (including the yarn) will have to wait for later. Too much fun!
