Here is what has been happening with me knit-wise and new Molly pictures. Since she such a j0y in my life, I'll begin with her.

They had chickens roaming the property and Llamas corralled for us to feed. I just snapped a few shots of them. The sale was held in a Red Barn like structure that is set up for events, such as weddings and their receptions. I enjoyed myself so much that I hope to take a trip back here with Lyle sometime in the future.
The line outside just before they let us in and me, with my first haul of yarn prior to my reality check.

It's too bad I didn't get any photos of what the racks looked like before people began snatching yanks of yarn from the hooks, it was truly impressive!
Bare racks..

My yarn haul: 10 skeins work of sock goodness! I plan on giving 1 skein away as a gift to a fellow knitter I used to work with. With the change in jobs back in May I haven't seen much of her. We try to get together outside of work but with our busy schedules it hasn't been easy. I'm hoping this gift will convert her to a Socks that Rock groupie!

*smile* Her skein is covered by one of mine! I know she looks at the blog and I want it to truly be a surprise!
This is the first pair of socks I've ever completed. They're Toe-Up with an afterthought heel, also made from Socks that Rock. This was a purchase from Madrona in January 2007.

Lyle's pair is made from Duet Sock yarn( purple and yellow, kinda UW colors ), sold by A Swell Yarn shop. I happen to have the owner and creative genius, Angie, as part of my weekly knit group, RentonStitchers.

ooh! ooh, where do I start??
Gorgeous colours for that pretty cardi, I SO want one my size! I'll definitely have to store that one in the memory banks for a future design from scratch.
You looked like you had a ball at the sale and what a pretty setting! And all that yarn! What a wonderful selection of colours, you lucky thing! (and I'm even luckier 'cos you got some for me!).
And pretty colours on those socks, great to see you've been getting some knitting done, you've a few months of sock yarn knitting lined up there. I'm so glad you had a lovely time.

w0w, you did some major shopping! :) It sounds like you had a great time. I've yet to own any STR, but I hope to change that when Madrona comes around (if they're a vendor anyway). I love the cardigan - beautiful beautiful colours!!!
Mmmm! What lovely yarn you dyed for your cardigan. We need to get start on our KAL, huh? I still need to swatch up.
I really had a great time on our yarn excursion. Can't wait to hit some more stores soon!
Lyle's socks are really coming along. He doesn't know about the new set your working on right?!? ;)
