Did my best to OD on Starbuck's, and now would give half my brain for Starbuck's again...not that I'm using anyway... Glad SS was a success for you! now let me take a bus down to San Miguel to take that Starbuck's by storm! Heh. Well, I missed the Sock Summit, but DID make it home to Cheyenne for a month.

I'm also one of the ones you and Denny taught how to spin (the one who, grinning madly, plucked at your sleeve almost every day to show what I'd spun). I, too, am spinning almost every day - I'm trying to be like Denny, walk - talk - spin. So far, I'm at the stand up and not fall over and spin - marvelous progress. Thanks so much to the two of you for a very fun, and informative class. From the one who wasn't going to turn into a spinner.

I am so glad that I got to meet you (and Denny) and others I have known but never met in the flesh after all this time, but sorry that there was so MUCH going on, and so little time to do it in, that no one got enough time with everyone, and we are all ready to do it again... I am so wishing I was going to SOAR, but it's not happening, despite being so close to me. I have two events the end of September, and I won't have 2 cents to rub together after that. When are you going to come West again? How about next year? I haven't heard yet exactly when we get to "survive" another SS, but I do hear it will be 2011. The T shirts should have said: "This is your brain. This is your brain after 4 days of Sock Summit." I have scrambled eggs for brains right now, I swear. When will you be ready for fiber? I was GOOD, hahaha, I didn't buy any fiber at Sock Summit! LOL. Just 14" needles so I can practice impaling my boob like Steph!

Cuz, that never happened, right? (besides, I admire you much more than I admire him) Oh good, then you have no memory of that crazy lady who made a fool of herself talking to you about yarn (of all things) and saying nothing much other than, “Thank you so much for all your advice and guidance” and giggling like a teenager meeting Tom Cruise.

SS09 was a full-fledged HOOT, mostly because of people like Abby and all her ilk. …Although in this picture I look less sassy and magical than mildly confused (my natural habitat).

(i have a fibre room .. ok i have to share it with my office, but i have a room!) ... but if you see my brain, tell it i miss it and i promise to feed it and be nice to it and that i bought it a rubber mallet so i can put our bedroom floor together quieter. but i have a feeling it went bar hopping with yours. mine said something about beer and sheep on it's way out. but please, what is the story about your classroom? i guess it’s probably good all that stuff didn’t happen so then i couldn’t be sad that i bought a house instead of attending … (i have a fibre room .. ok i have to share it with my office, but i have a room!) … but if you see my brain, tell it i miss it and i promise to feed it and be nice to it and that i bought it a rubber mallet so i can put our bedroom floor together quieter.
