Debbi (cockeyed the sockateer) and her trusty companion Susan (ettamea the sockateer) headed out of here on Monday, bright and early for the Santa Clara Convention Center and all things Stitches West.
Deb’s feathered companion is not EttaMae. I always feel bad that I do not get to go, so this time I went in my chicken form. Debbi was a little apprehensive, but if you check her twitter feed you will see that a clucking good time is being had by all.
Look I even got some knitting in.
Deb and Susan rock the whole booth set up thing pretty hard. All creative and beautiful and in a timely efficient manner topped with maybe some wacky fun.
See! Makes you want to give then a round of applause, a big smooch, a drink, a cock-a-doodle-doo or hey I know, maybe a bonus. I have to say dearest sockateers I’m am pretty flippin’ touched, thrilled and thankful in so many ways for the two of you. Are we ready to sell some yarn??
Oh yeah! Also on the new “hey look at these cool bags front” we have brought with us these great bags. We think these are a pretty smart design concept and they are also cute. We are lovin’ ours so we thought we would bring some with us in order to spread the word and the knit love. Thanks for entrusting your lovely work with us Gillian.
Aren’t they cute! We were thinking the big one would be awesome for colourwork and the smaller one for just about anything sockish.
Hope everyone has a tightly plied good time. Give my lovely sockateers a cluck for me ok?
Sounds like great fun!!(and a lot of work)! Tina, you may not be there in person other than in your chicken avatar, but your colour sense permeates the entire display. Enjoy your time at home-knit, knit, knit, dye, dye, dye. I hope you have an Olympic project to work on and finish before the flame goes out. Since I don’t LIVE on PST, I’m finding it a trifle tiring to stay up very night until the coverage is over; it’s very late in Ontario. Figure skating tonight-hurrah!!!! Cheers and red wine, Hazel.

Oooh, I see lotsa roving! And a “new” colorway that matches that nifty bag.
Can’t wait to see the Sockateers tomorrow! Woohoo!

The bags are absolutely lovely-especially in person! And Tina, I hadn’t looked close enough to realize that you, too, are here! Wasn’t til you wandered forward and clucked that I realized!
Gorgeous everything-and yes, some new colorways I detected in the roving! Hmmm...how’d one end up in my bag o’ goodies?
Cockeye and EttaMae even have the STR colors ALPHABETIZED this time around! All stocked and ready for day 2! (Well, ‘official’ Opening of market...)

Wow, they rocked the booth set-up! I have been following your clucky exploits on Debbi’s twitter feed and it looks like a good time is being had by all.
I am insanely jealous that I am not there! Those bags are killer! And you know I’m sort of a bag ho. Yeah. [ sob ]

The booth looked beautiful! Snagged some peru (I have a sweater urge going right now). As always the Blue Moon colors just dazzle...what a wonderful selection!!!

Those bags are so cute! Are they going to be available online?

Will Blue Moons be at Stitches South in Atlanta? My decision to go (from Houston) almost totally depends on whether I will be able to see many STR yarns in person. (Well, that and whether my daughter can put me up for that weekend....)

I don’t know what you have to do to block those annoying essay writing ads from your blog, but they are grating on my nerves(lol). I don’t suppose they are doing much for you, either. Good luck dispatching them soon. Cheers and red wine, Hazel.
