The only fail today was the continuing irkedness at the PCC charging $13/ day for wireless ( which I am NOT paying, hence only tweeting/posting from hotel). I mean, come on, Burgerville has free WiFi and the airport is $5. Lots of fun today, though!
Started with a spinning painted roving class, and got going like Taz on my new teeny Jenkins.
Lunches with Shall We Knit, Oh Susannah (my roomies from New Hamburg) and LUCY NEATBY, who is lovely and who really impressed some Portland sk8rbois with her hair.
Asked poor RachelH if her arm had fused permanently to her clipboard yet.
Resisted many MORE marketplace purchases than I made, but did score an enchanted knoll batt.
Learned lots of neat stuff about guy sock knitting, including ideas for converting lace to guy friendly charts.
Unfortunately also learned I should adjust patterns to tighter gauge and more stitches per round which will mean it takes even more knitting for size 13 feet. Seriously considered trading Adam to another knitter for a spouse with size 7s. But just for a moment.
Found my own way home on the MAX, only got lost by 1 block and I unlost myself fairly promptly.
RAVELRY!!!!! Was there in time for loverly Swag Bag, MH recognizes me now.
Finished spinning my singles AND plied a tiny ball of Real 3-ply Sock Yarn!!!! My first sock yarn and
my first 3-ply yarn.
Duelled spindles with another new Jenkins owner while we wandered the crowd.
Amy Singer herself personally placed one of her new Knitty promo buttons in my hand!
Tried an Oregon variant of poutine. Here, apparently, the fries go on top of the cheese. No idea why.
Tried organic local Pinot Noir. Very nice.
Knitters leaving Rav party commandeered half a MAX train. Like the TTC knitalong but ALL socks!
Off to catch a bit of snooze-just about 24 Hours left on the ground here.
