the Everest of knitting (socks)
Where have I been for so long?
There’s no one simple answer, but suffice to say, preparing to teach at Sock Summit has been getting the attention of my fiber focus for the past many months. You heard about that, eh?
If you follow me on twitter I’m sure you’ve seen little tidbits about it over the past week or so…
It’s now over and I’m home. In lieu of attempting to capture the wonder and merriment of it all, I leave you with a video of the World Record attempt for the largest group of knitters knitting simultaneously. It’s nice to see a few fellas were caught on film, too!
(I think we got it!)

So funny to watch that video and see just how many people in it I actually know. So very bummed I didn’t make it, but at least Rabbitch delivered smooches for me.

Look at you Mr. 1:35! That’s you, right?! Your hair looks so normal I can hardly tell. Very very cool. So glad you had an amazing time. Looking forward to our knitting phone date so I can hear all about it 🙂

I wondered what the judges thought when they told us to stop and people started yelling for just one more row.
It was great seeing you! The whole thing was overwhelming wasn’t it? I think I have finally recovered and it is so nice to just knit for fun again.
