Gena's Boss's socks

When I went to see my mom on Friday, Bev gave me the socks that she knitted for my boss Ann. When Bev and I started to plan to go to Sock Summit I made a deal with Ann if she would work for me Bev and I would knit her a pair of socks each. Even though Cherina work for me on Sunday Bev and I still knitted a pair of sock for Ann. Today was the day that I gave them to Ann. You can tell by the look on Ann's face that she was very happy.

She loved both pair of socks, but I know the truth she really loved the pair that Bev made her. She said look they have sexy little holes in them. Thanks Bev for making my boss happy.

OMG

I guess that has two means. The first OMG will be I haven't blog since June OMG sorry. The other OMG is all about Sock Summit!!!

Lets just jump in to the heart of it. Last Wednesday Bev and I headed down to Portland on the train to SOCK SUMMIT. It was great just to sit there and knit and not have to worry about the traffic. Once we got there we headed to the hotel to drop off the bags then we went to get registered. Then it was the long wait until Thursday to 4pm until the market place open up for the students. Once it open up it was like Disneyland for me. You would walk all you see is YARN and Fiber. It was like were do you go first. Of course Bev and I had our game plan set and we had we stuck to it, but still it was OMG!

The classes we took were fun. Friday was basic drop spindle, Saturday was sock heel, and Sunday toe up for stubborns. I learned something new from each class and it was great. I've already finished my first two up sock and started the second one also done one of the heels that we learned in class. We got meet one of my favorite Sock designer Cookie A. Here she was signing by book.

I did spend a little to much but I don't regret anything or any purchase that I bought. It was fun we shopped until we dropped. Here are a few pictures from our trip. The loot on the table is Day 1 of shopping and what is in the chair was day number 2 purchases. I can't wait until I finish the socks that are on the needles to dive into the new yarn.

This is Mama Llamma Cathy Kerth she is one of my very favorite dyer. She has the best colorways that I love.

That is it now for now I have to start getting ready for work. I will try to be better at blogging and post more photos from sock summit. Keep those hands knitting.
