    SockSummit Friday Scores

    Only one Fail today, which was just that I had both breakfast and blood stains from a capillary hit with my novopen on my pants before the day got going. Usually stained pants before the day starts leads to a bad day but the yarn mojo is strong here, so it didn't matter. The following are all WIN!

    Abby Franquemont made my whole trip worth it before 9:30 am.
    STR!!!!! Ravens and Rare Gems.
    Participating in two Guiness world record attempts (one of them for the second time).
    Walking past ST-1(Stephanie and Tina) who smiled and went for a hug that looked more like they were propping each other up for a vertical nap.
    Yarn Harlot invented another word, "stampled" which is what she was afraid would happen to the knitting authors if she didn't keep the knitters sitting down so the authors could get a head start to the book signing.
    Yarn Harlot gloating over CAT BORDHI knitting on STRAIGHTS.
    Forget that guy from Footloose and some other movies. Six Degrees of BARBARA WALKER!
    I not only saw but touched somethings knit by Barbara Walker and Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, among others.
    Harried volunteer running by in lobby asking "Did Cookie come this way?" of random complete strangers and we all knew exactly who she meant, of course.
    Cat Bordhi hugged me!
    Laughs from crowd of strangers when flopping down on bus stop bench and saying " What the heck am I going to do while I wait?"
    Pattern Bingo.
    Knitting while standing on the MAX.
    Oh, wait, one Fail: I still don't like beer. Did, however, drink 2/3 of a half pint of Black Butte Porter at Deschutes brew pub.
    On with the Win; enjoyed the food much more than the beer.
    Reading Ravelry's Things I Heard at Sock Summit as I turn in for the night.
