Sock Summit Photos

I'm back from Sock Summit for today. I can't attend tomorrow, but hope to be able to attend all four days in 2013.  Here are some quick pix of the show and some pix of notable teachers.

Glass Sculpture hanging from the ceiling.

Love this dragon boat.

Check-in and registration.

Anna Zilboorg (I listened to a wonderful lecture  given by her).

Clara Parkes gave a lecture today called Sock Yarn Stories. It was awesome!

I think the lady on the escalator is taking a picture of the same person (in hot pink hair) I'm taking a picture of.
That's Lucy Neatby!

Stitch marker swapping is going on here.

The Fastest Knitter competition. I think the lady on the right won.

That's Stephanie Pearl-McPhee in yellow.

 Can't wait for Sock Summit 2013!  Oops!  There will not be a Sock Summit 2013, it will be in 2014.

Awesome International Space Station Photo

23 May 2011) --- This image of the International Space Station and the docked space shuttle Endeavour, flying at an altitude of approximately 220 miles, was taken by Expedition 27 crew member Paolo Nespoli from the Soyuz TMA-20 following its undocking on May 23, 2011 (USA time). The pictures taken by Nespoli are the first taken of a shuttle docked to the International Space Station from the perspective of a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Onboard the Soyuz were Russian cosmonaut and Expedition 27 commander Dmitry Kondratyev; Nespoli, a European Space Agency astronaut; and NASA astronaut Cady Coleman. Coleman and Nespoli were both flight engineers. The three landed in Kazakhstan later that day, completing 159 days in space.

Happy Monday!

My Helix Scarf is Finally Finished

I FINALLY finished my helix scarf!  Hooray!  It was very time-consuming, but great fun to knit. Here it is!

The colors are much better in person.

  Fireworks photos from Atlanta. We spent Independence Day there.

OOOH!!

I think Steve Sonheim, who taught my photo class, would like this one!

  We had lunch at The Sawn Coach House.

  

 

This very cool felt sculpture of a sea urchin was in the art gallery at The Swan House.

Segway tour of Olympic Park in Atlanta.  Next year we are doing this!
