Lasers and coverups

I really love this google avatar in celebrations of the creation of the laser. What do you think about this dude in yellow crochet? It must have been some clearance sale on this yellow/white varigated yarn. Hmmm, I wonder if it is acrylic....And gosh, I guess you could say this blue concoction is, well, well covered?

June 23, 2008 the lovely Nicky Epstein is coming to Coppelia's in Denver's North Cherry Creek District. A day of breakfast, lunch and learning fun embellishments for your knitting. I have enjoyed working on Monday's for Shellie. I do a fix it and get your sock on clinic. I am there from 3pm to 8pm if anyone is in need of help, c'mon down to Cherry Creek.

Last month, alot of knitters got to see and hear Stephanie Pearl-McGee at Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover. It was sweet. I had yet another camera stolen(at a Rockies game, ugh) and all of the Yarn Harlot pics, plus many more to numerous to mention and heart wrenching for me.

Denver Yarn Harlot is coming


I am sitting here waiting for the Yarn Harlot to appear. There's about 100 ahead of me and behind me!


I see this shirt across from me, Luciana, from Pueblo, CO, Raveler CraftyLuLu(all lc). I am so jealous, she just told me the Harlot commented on her sight last night she found out at 11pm!!!!!

5280 SOCK CHALLENGE

Joanne Conklin of Keep Talking has come up with this great idea to challenge Denver Knits to knit 5,280 pairs of socks.

Here's a graph I made for Denver Knits 5280 Sock Challenge. It is supposed to be used to depict your fav pro-teams colors (choose one team color), but I guess you could use it all together. All of the grey is supposed to be white, something happened in the translation....I am sure that are other graphs out there from the past, I hope you like this one, feel free email me for a decent version. It may look cool as an insertion in anyone's favorite pattern, with or without the stripes knitted around the top, heels and toes.....and the rest to be knitted in your fav sock stash. Please fool around to get your right gauge. I hope it is appreciated and thanks for the look....if you use it, please remember to email it to Joanne so she can post it!

This reminds me of the Harlot's sock mojo goin' on about the Socks that Rock and knitter's need for Representation!!!! You know the winds of change blowin', kinda like more socks to show representation, or Bob Dylan singing "The Times They Are A Changin". It's like sock mania out there in the blog-o-sphere.

ANTICIPATION



IS MAKING ME WAIT - Me? I am excited that the Yarn Harlot is on a book tour and coming to to Denver. I got the lowdown on the park bench plaque that Steph has her pic taken by many out there in the blog-o-sphere. The plaque is a song by Joe Jung. I was trying to figure out if this is Steph's Joe
