Sock Summit

the best 15 minutes

...in a long time.  Actually, more like 30 minutes that I just spent approving entries in the Dye for Glory contest on Ravelry.  I read all the stories and inspiration and looked at all the stunning colorways. Holy smokes dyers, you so rocked this out. I laughed and cried ( despite what Steph says I do not do this all the time) and I am heartwarmed and tickled and just thrilled.There is local color (yeah stumptown!) and those that are traveling that have made the connection between where they are and the road they are taking to be here. All the different ways we are inspired and how we translate that into color onto yarn and then...well, knitted goodness.

Look at this!  Seriously this is really is quite extraordinary...don’t you think? I do and I think I might be a bit head over heels with every single one of you.

Thank you

p.s. Thank you Casey, Jess and Mary-Heather for helping us celebrate this diverse colorful world of ours.

Can’t wait to see all of them! The ones I’ve seen pictures of are gorgeous. The ones I’ve seen in person are stunning.

I love yarn!

Hooray; I can’t wait to see them all too. I know the Ravelry posts about what people have done are across at least three threads and I’m sure there’s more I haven’t sussed out.

Hey Tina, not to create a problem at the last minute.  Did you know that the bridge peddle was on the 9th? Do we need to spread the word that getting to the convention center my be difficult because traffic is going to be interesting that morning.
