Sock Summit-the Lazy Edition






Look at all the lanyards...oh my, big crowd a-comin'!








And lookie-Jess and Casey are staying at my hotel! Yes, crappy pic of me and all!























I don't know how the pics ended up in this order, but I thought you would all enjoy getting glimpes of, for instance--Turtlegirl! Who could miss her?

Or Irishgirlieknits putting all those badges together?

And just for Knittinggolfer, a pic of my brand-spanking new Jenkins' Turkish Drop Spindle!!! Beauties and they packaged it up in a silk hankie!
All I can say is that the market ended today at 6pm, but by 4pm, I was pretty wiped out! So many indie dyers all in one place and so very much that I was on serious overload! I did stay til the end of market, but my head was mush!
Class was absolutely incredible-right down to a classmate impaling her calf on a straight needle!

More when I return, but I thought some of you would enjoy a glimpse into this wonderful event that is SOCK SUMMIT 2009!!!

Oooh, you got a spindle! I did, too; it was too tempting after seeing so many people spinning with them. Sweet.

It was nice to meet you! Thanks for the heads up on Beard Papa's; we'll check it out when we're in SF.

Your Jenkins spindle is beautiful! I bought a pair of pink ivory needles from them.

I just wanted to say that you're fabulous and I enjoyed chatting with you and our brief but great breakfast on Saturday morning! xoxoxo
