Not even pretending

This day marks the fouth day that I have given up even the pretence of knitting in any meaningful way. I pick up the blanket every few hours, do enough stitches to take the edge off... and then it's...

Greetings

From Sock Summit International World Headquarters. Er, that's a pub, but you can see we've settled in nicely. That's our booth because it has outlets for the laptops. Tomorrow we're going to fill it full of yarn too. See...

I'm packing. I knew I had to go to Portland, but thought it could wait until Monday to give me a few more days at home, but it couldn't. In my heart I knew that too, so when I...

Surprise! It's a Sock Museum! (ST-1 is just getting so much done that we shock ourselves.) Another chunk of the Sock Summit fun and games are up and running, and this one is for everybody, whether you're involved with...

Dye For Glory

Back when this whole Sock Summit thing started, everybody had their thing. While everybody on the team is really invested in all aspects of the Summit, we've all got facets of it that really sing to them. Mine was...
