I'm teaching at Sock Summit!

Submitted by Syne Mitchell on April 21, 2011

Guess what? I'm teaching at Sock Summit in Portland!!!

If you don't yet know about this event, it's an entire weekend celebrating the hand-knit sock. It covers pretty much every way a sock can be created and is a complete ball of fun. I went in 2009 on the advice of Brenda Dayne and the encouragement of Astrid Bear and had an absolute blast.

(If you don't already know, I knit a LOT of socks. They're my go-to carry project when I need to take a little fiber-arts therapy to the doctor's office, day-long meeting, etc.)

They posted the teacher's list yesterday so I can finally talk about it. It's been hard to keep mum while things were finalized. When I read through the list of who else is teaching, I paused. My name, in the same list as these luminaries of the fiber world? It was a moment blended of delight, humility, shock, and a wee bit of fear. The people on that list have set a high bar for excellence.

I'm teaching two classes, Twinkle Toes: eTextiles for Socks and Woven Socks.

See that last class? That's the only weaving class at Sock Summit. I'm thrilled and delighted to be once again taking weaving where it's never gone before. Because really, if you love one fiber art, isn't it likely you'd love another? (1)

And then, when I thought the news couldn't get any better, I read Cat Bordhi's Facebook update.

Cat Bordhi on Facebook

How lovely is that?

Do you think one of these days I'll get Cat weaving? Can you imagine what her brain-sparkly mind would do with yarn and a loom? I don't know about you, but I'm thinking discontinuous warps and wefts going every which-a-way.

Today I'm having lunch with Astrid. She and I have plans to be roomies (along with two other fun women) at Sock Summit, I can't wait to tell her the news!

(1) I'll be representing weaving at Sock Summit, but by no means the only weaver there. A lot of knitters also weave, and vice versa. Some day it'd be fun to list all the knitting instructors I've met who weave, have woven in the past, or are learning to weave.
