The Madre and I flew in to Portland Tuesday night from SF so we could spend all day Wednesday before Sock Summit exploring. What a great city! We hit Voodoo Donuts (of course), Chinatown, Washington Park, Portland’s Rose Garden and had a FABULOUS dinner. Check it out! (Warning: excessive number of rose photos included)

Then…oh then…was Sock Summit.

How do you describe such an awesome experience? I’m still not sure I can. I made great new friends, learned so much, met amazing people and to top it all off, I got to share it all with The Madre. Here are a few of my favorite pics.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that I have no pictures of the Marketplace or of any purchases. Well, that would be because (1) I was too busy buying things to take any pictures of the awesome Marketplace and (2) I bought so much stuff that I had to have it shipped all home and it should be here on Monday. Stay tuned…

Most of my evenings of late have been spent working on my newest knitting love…Vivian by Ysolda Teague.

I’ve made it up to row 102 on the body and think it’s coming along splendidly.

Only 15 more rows until I can start on the sleeves!

What do you think my chances are for having this finished in time to wear to the Sock Summit in August?  Yeah, um, I gotta get back to the knitting…
