So off I went out of town to a medical conference yesterday. When I first found out I would have the afternoon off, I contacted Cristi immediately hoping we could get together for a few hours! Stephy joined us too! They both are pretty active on the knittyboards, and are fun there, but even more so in real life! After a yarn crawl, that I must say we behaved ourselves, especially at the 50% off store, we headed back to Cristi's place for some knitting and gabbing! I even got to meet Morris and Ripple in person too!
The center yarn is a Vesper colorway that is always sold out! She um..er..knows I like my pink and browns! I love it! I saw this shade of Lorna's in Sommerset that the internet does not do justice to! So sportweight was purchased (wanted the worsted...but had to behave ;)
Then she made me a cute stitchmarker with my favorite things, shoes, pink, and brown...And I am not done...she patiently taught me how to magic cast on for toe up socks. Some things I can do by reading, but others I need visuals! So after about 2 frogging's due to operator error (I was so tired) I think I got it! I can be quite the entertaining knitter as I mess up the count, what row I am on, um..pull out the wrong needle for magic loop.......hehe!
Oh and above is Turtlegirl's guide to measuring your foot! hehehe! Thanks to Stephy for modeling for us! ;)
These two rescued me from sitting in my hotel room knitting alone! Thanks you two I had a great time!

You're so lucky! It looks like you guys had a ball. The stitch marker is awesome and the socks are coming out great! I need to learn toe-up.

Your toe-up looks good! Sounds like you all had a blast.
Toe up! I can't wait until I have time to learn toe up socks one day. Love your new yarns and looks like you and the girls had a fantastic time!
