Episode One hundred forty: Reaching the Summit

To say we are all exhausted is such an understatement I'm just going to take it as read that you know that, and move on. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="375" caption="Sock Summit '09 Book"][/caption] It was great! Amazing! (Did I mention I'm tired?) I'm going to put as many pictures and links in here as I can because I know I'll forget to mention someone's gorgeous yarns or wares...I'll try to catch up on the next 'Cast, though! OH! But checkout The Blue Ridge Soap Shed esp. the Hand Repair Soap in "Green Tea". Also Cheryl Brunette's Sweater 101 and Chrissy Gardiner's Toe Up! (soon-to-be incentive books).

And now for some pictures! Laser-cut and amazing knitting

Then, some amazing yarn! Here's a pic of the card for the next couple of picks: [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="375" caption="Kangeroo Dyer exclusively for Valley Yarns"][/caption] [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="375" caption="Mmmmmm Tactile Fiber for Spinning"][/caption] [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="375" caption="Hand and Eye Candy"][/caption] [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="375" caption="Schoppel Wolle Zauberball"][/caption] [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="375" caption="The Other Zauberball"][/caption] [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="375" caption="Simply Socks"][/caption] [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Zimmerman's Huggy Sock Sole"][/caption] The super-huggy sock sole--good for high arches and those among us who need a hug.

Also, next month, a special incentive treat for you! Mission Falls! Our own Jessica (not from Ravelry, from Mission Falls!) has hooked us up! I'll be picking a kit and yarn to be next month's incentive item. Just lettin' you know, it's gonna be kickin'! As you know, I love me some Mission Falls 130 Superwash Merino!
