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…

I had an absolutely wonderful week last week.  It started last Saturday when I flew out West and met up with The Madre for her first ever trip to San Francisco.  Here’s an abbreviated slide show of our first few days on the West Coast including fun in San Fran, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Muir Woods.

After three lovely days in the Bay area, we journeyed north to Portland for a FANTABULOUS time at Sock Summit!  Stay tuned for What a Week Part II coming soon (once I sort through the next few hundred photos….)

Getting good mail is always fun, but a whole week of awesome mail?  Woohoo!

First to show up was the latest Knits magazine…

Then proof that my parents ROCK!!!  The Madre is clearly getting psyched up for the Sock Summit.

And JV made me an absolutely beautiful knitting gauge.

Can you believe the gorgeous purpleheart wood back and inlay??

Even Celeste was impressed.

The last package was filled with so much fantasticness that it deserves it’s own post…
