Sock Summit 2011

My dear friend Andrea and I went to Sock Summit today! 

 We entered through Sockgate to arrive at the mythical land of Soxanits.

I call this photo "Andrea and the Giant Sock."
Here, Andrea is examining the Giant Sock. It is currently about 7 feet long, 
and nearing to the point where the sock will be turned to make the heel.

 Here I am adding stitches to the Giant Sock.  By this act I was qualified
to add my name to the list of the makers of the Giant Sock.
This photo also gives you a feel for how enormous Sock Summit is.  
Yarns and roving abound,  made of wool, cashmere, angora, alpaca, and even yak!

 Detail of the Giant Sock.  Look at the rows of
baubles that people added!

 The stash I came home with from Sock Summit. 
I can wait to get started on the nuno felt project!

Little detail of the row of maidens.  These are buttons!
So much fun sharing a day of yarn infatuation with a friend!
