I had a wonderful time at SWAK in the City last Wednesday July 29th (also DD 12th birthday). It was not only a SnB night but a going away party for Cody and Logan. They are heading off to NY state for bigger and better things and we all wanted to wish them well in all their future endeavors. Good Luck Guys you will both be missed a great deal. Thanks for making my world a little nicer then it was.
Of course since Muriel started knitting I get to have even more fun when I go to the City. It is really handy getting to crash with her and her wonderful family. Also we have a lot of the same friends now so I get to see my friends and visit the shops without her being bored to tears. Speaking of friends....can you find Laura aka Sprout in the picture. Laura is an incredible girl and a very accomplished New knitter, I got to see her Girasole in progress ... Gorgeous! Mary was working on the Blooming Cotton Scarf, and although I wasn't totally sold on this pattern when I saw it in the Magazine or online I love it in person, Mary is doing a fantastic job. Courtney is just putting the finishing touches on her Mystic Light shawl..... well she will be when she re-knits everything I ripped out for her LOL. 
Seriously we have been talking about her shawl forever and I know she will finish it soon. I will let Muriel share her own knitting, I think you will be impressed with just how far her knitting is coming along.
The Blue blob in Laura's hand is her Girasole and Muriel is holding what will one day be her Girasole. It will be wonderful it see what Logan will do with the very bright blue I brought for him.
Me well I have finished the first sock in the "House Divided" colorway. I really like it, the perfect "talking sock". Talking sock- a plain stockinette sock with lots of interesting color. I am also working on a shawl from some handspun Shetland wool I dyed back in March. I got a high-speed whirl and a few High-speed bobbins and am really loving the results. 
I am knitting the Feather and Fan Triangle shawl from Folk Shawls or I will be again when my lovely sister mails me my book that I left at her house last week. MAIL ME MY BOOK!!! xoxo Please
I will now go back to obsessing about the Sock Summit and hoping that all the Luxe Grrl is a hit!
