Sock Summit Part IV, In Which We are Menaced by the Deep
The last time I came to Sock Summit, I rather over scheduled myself. I booked a class for each class period, I planned to attend some of the after class activities, and I intended to explore the area a bit. I should have known better. I am only social in [...]
Sock Summit Part III, In Which More Knitters and a Bit of Yarn are Located
The second day of Sock Summit was marked by less flailing and more shopping. I started the morning with the always-charming Mr. Habit's class on tessellations. Then I hit the market to pick up one or two things I hadn't grabbed the day before. Then maybe one or two more. [...]
Sock Summit Part II, In Which Knitters are Located
As we wandered around the city on Wednesday, we had detected the faintest hints that there just might be knitters in the area. I saw the occasional shawl (shawls being worn in public in July often mean knitters are about), someone was working on something at the restaurant where we [...]
Sock Summit Part I, In Which We Arrive and are Refreshed
In an attempt to prove my love, I'm going to try and keep up with the blog while we're at Sock Summit. I may instead fall into a yarn-based stupor and disappear completely. If that happens, know that I died happy. We arrived on Tuesday after a trip that was [...]
Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis, Meet me at the Fair
So, anybody else going to this Sock Summit thing? I've heard rumors I might not be the only one there. If you are going, it would totally be cool to meet you. I'll be in classes on Thursday and Friday, plus the opening reception and Stephanie's lecture Saturday night. I'll [...]
Packing
I leave for Sock Summit tomorrow. Let us all pause for a moment to make the appropriate 'squeeee' noises in celebration. Of course leaving for a trip means packing. I'm good at packing. It's not that hard. The plan goes something like this: 1) do not get arrested for public [...]
Hard Work
Playing with a tiny knit mousie is hard work...you'd need a nap too if you were only a few weeks old. You may now all die of the excess cuteness. And just on the off chance that you are the sort of person who wants to watch someone else's cat [...]
Look, Knitting!
See, look at that. A post with actual knitting content. You thought I'd strayed from the true path and it was going to be all exams/kittens/books around here, didn't you? I'm not saying your concerns were unjustified, but I can at least put your mind to rest for the moment. [...]
Does This Match My Eyes
Home safe, if a bit tired. We enjoyed our brief sojourn in the woods. Kitty has a name (Douglas MacArthur), and has been introduced to yarn. He picked out that blue one and I made him a wee toy. I'll check back in shortly with pictures of actual knitting.
Stacks
Every once in a great while, knitting does not go smoothly. Not at all.
