Knitting by Judy @ 7:59 AM

I just found out that there are two World Wide Knit In Public days this year! Find out why at this link.

Also, if your access to the interwebs suddenly slows to a crawl at 10:00 AM PDT on Tuesday, 05/26/09… registration for Sock Summit opens then. :mrgreen: (Are you coming?)

And, finally, Deb Accuardi of Mount Hood Fibers and the wonderful podcast At The Kitchen Table is starting a Community Sock Club. Participants need to be close to Portland, Oregon, because every other month there will be a meeting at Gino’s Restaurant for lunch, sock knitting, and a chance to meet the dyers, designers, and knitters. I was thrilled when Deb asked me if I would like to design a little sock for the club. Can’t wait, because it sounds like so much fun!

The picture is a second double-knit Moebius Klein bottle that I finished last month and gifted to a special friend. It felt too weird to have a blog post with no picture. So there you are!

  • Thought of the Minute
    • If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
