Sock Summit!

There are lots of things that need to be covered on this neglected blog, but I will start with the wonderful, amazing Sock Summit 2011.  My traveling companion had a slight glitch in plans and returned from a trip to Europe on Thursday, so we skipped that day and drove to Portland on Friday morning, July 29th.  We signed up for one class Saturday afternoon and two one-hour classes on Sunday morning.  The rest of the time was ample for shopping, eating, resting, drinking wine, and knitting. We arrived Friday afternoon, checked into our hotel and walked over to the Convention Center to register. There was no line and it took only minutes.  Nothing else to do then but check out the market!  This is one amazing market; both times I've spent significant time shopping, only to return home and hear about wonderful booths that I missed.  Of course, I actually have plenty of yarn and fiber here at home, but it doesn't hurt to look, does it? I had to refer back to my 2009 Sock Summit
