Belated Sock Summit news
Karen and I headed down Friday, arriving in the afternoon to check in. We tried to wander thru the marketplace, featuring 150 vendors, with what seemed like thousands of skeins of yarn ! It was pretty overwhelming !
Unfortunately I was coming down with a bad cold so didn't have much stamina the whole weekend. Thanks Karen for the cold care kit with Fisherman's Friend, tissue, bottled water, and OTC meds. Thanks also for still hanging out with me even though I was "Typhoid Mary" ! Evenings were spent in our plush hotel room having room service and laying low.
Saturday morning was Knitting with Speed and Efficiency with Stephanie Pearl McPhee which was interesting. I had not seen Irish Cottage knittng before. It's awkward at first, like trying to write with my left hand - pretty challenging. The afternoon was spent at a very bizarre lecture with a very well known person. It was so weird we had to leave before it ended.
Sunday morning was Beaded Cables with Sivia Harding. She is so cute !
The Luminary Panel was amazing !
MCs Tina and Stephanie with Lucy Neatby, Cat Bordhi, Deborah Robson, Anna Zilboorg, Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, Meg Swansen, Barbara Walker, Judith MacKenzie McCuin, and Nancy Bush!
I've always wanted to make pickles but didn't want to deal with the canning. Watched a great episode of Good Eats with five different recipes for refrigerator pickles. These are so wonderful,it took us less than fifteen minutes to whip out a batch of B and Bs, and Summer Fruits, each. My friend Beth, getting a country fix away from her city condo. 
Marc helped pick blackberries with DC and Sherman. They loved them as much as we did ! More pictures of the guys to come.
Out of the eleven chicks that hatched I ended up with TEN ROOSTERS !! What are the flippin' odds for that ! Found homes for all but two, those will be gone soon I hope. Two roosters crowing at all hours is really annoying.
The more excited the rooster gets, the higher his voice goes. He's got a little bit of a Barney Fife quality to him.
