Packing

I'm busy finishing up my homework so I can start packing for sock camp. I thought I had all the time in the world to get ready. I must have been a bit too sure of myself, given that I started on my homework almost a month early. Then the knitting gods stepped in with some family stuff I had to take care of that left me with little time to call my own for the last few weeks. I was working 'til late last night and early this morning, which made me a bit crabby (just sayin'...)

Now, to figure out what knitting projects to bring. Then if I have time, I'll throw some clothes in my suitcase along with my knitting.

What the @%*?

I went on the Stitch 'n Ride train again to Stitches West. This year we had the longest train they've ever put together for the route we were on--ten cars for almost 600 knitters! Can you imagine that many knitters on one train? It was some serious knitting energy on that train. There were eight in our group and we had a blast!

I didn't buy very much since Sock Camp is only a couple of weeks away. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any green yarn (my stash is overflowing with green). I'm not sure what happened, but when I opened up my loot bag for show and tell on the way home everyone was laughing at me...

I didn't realize I almost exclusively bought everything salmony-pink!!

Thanks to Leslie, I was able to score this awesome mill end at the Blue Moon booth (note: it also contains salmony-pink).

I snuck in one teeny bit of green and a cute baby sweater book.

Not bad on the spending--I'm not so sure about branching out on my color selection...
