The last day of Sock Summit was a whirlwind. Packing up and trying to find all sorts of nooks and crannies in my luggage to put the goodies I purchased at the Sock Summit Market. I started two socks on one circular and got about two inches into each before realizing I had made a mistake and had to unknit a row on one of them. Hmm. Not sure how to do that on one circular without confusing myself so I put each sock on its own long circular and am Magic Looping it after all. The process seems much easier than when I was trying it on my gansey several weeks ago. Candace took a picture of me and my starter socks at the Oregon Convention Center. I am making them as a gift and plan to take them along on an upcoming European trip. Wouldn't it be fun to have photographs of their progress taken at picturesque locations? Makes me smile to think of it.
We checked out of the hotel and took one last trot around the market before heading to the Luminary Panel session. It was entertaining, enlightening, humorous and sometimes revealing. I especially loved comments from Meg Swanson and Barbara Walker. Two extremely talented, accomplished women who just don't take themselves too seriously even though they have every right to be full of themselves... I am so attracted to their style! We had to dash out before cake was served for the celebration of the 99th birthday of Elizabeth Zimmerman to catch the train back to Seattle. All in all, a wonderful event and memorable 4 days!

Thanks so much for the great posts about Sock Summit! It's almost like being there myself.
I think you must already in Italy. I would love to see your progress at the different venues.
