Imagine my delight, as a confirmed sock-aholic, to learn that – wheeeeee- and – ! – there is going to be a SOCK SUMMIT in Portand Oregon in August of 2009!

Sigh, I won’t be able to be there, but I would certainly love to be.
There are a ton of fabulous classes, taught by amazing and wonderful teachers.
Here’s the link for all the information about the Sock Summit
One of the things that I am looking forward to seeing
is the Sock Museum
The Sock Museum is going to be an online
virtual museum showing the history of socks.
People are knitting historical socks to donate to it.
Fun warning:
The links to the Historical socks are already a big time gobbler,
so click on them only when you have time to schmooze! 
As I was ambling through the Sock Summit site, especially in the Iconic Socks, I was dazzled by the diversity of sock designs and the creativity of the designers. Simply awesome!
And, I happened upon the free pattern for a totally wonderful sock:
The Pomatomus Sock at Knitty.com (hard to spell, but looks like a treat to knit)
The website is glorious, and the Sock Summit looks like a dream come true for those of us who love socks and the making of them!
