Post to come later

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, and I won't really now. The computer is not acting right. Mom and I think it has a virus. It's EXTREMELY hard to type and just posting this is taking FFOORREEVVEERR!!!! So when Dad gets home I'll get him to look at it and when the computer is fixed I'll post. It's just my luck. The day I pick to post is the day the computer gets sick!

Will post soon..... or not... kinda out of my hands at this point.

SFARI 2008

I just got back from the first annual (having it biannually is also being considered...) Mississippi fiber retreat! It's being called S.F.A.R.I. for "Stinkin' Fiber Arts Retreat Initiative".. the "Stinkin'" part is a long story which my friends have said is kinda boring.... I guess it was a "had to be there" thing. And I now have a button for my bag! (Sorry the picture is blurry)

Mom and I spent the weekend near Starkville (where Mississippi State is for anyone who cares) in the Roy Black dorms of an old community college! Yeah it looks okay here, but it wasn't very nice inside... coulda been a lot worse though.
We got a group picture! Lots of people from Ravelry that look nothing like I imagined they did from reading their posts and stuff... going from Internet to real life is kinda weird...
I am on the couch sitting between the green and blue shirts by the way.

It was funny sitting there and knitting with them.. every time anyone finished a project they got cheers and applause! hee hee.. I love this picture I got of Ms. Chanda modeling her baby hat!
I would have more pictures but my camera batteries were dead half the time... so yeah...

LaLa brought yarn to sell! (Here is a link to her ravelry page.. and here is a link to her blog. I heard she is getting and Etsy so check out her stuff its really awesome!) I bought 2!!
This is the called "Twilight" And this one is called "Magical Melons"
Please give me sock pattern suggestions!! I LOVE these yarns but have NO IDEA what patterns to use! Help me!
I just love this picture of Bella with Melons... to anyone who doesn't know her it might look like she is hugging the yarn.... but to those of us who do know her.. we know she is try to claw at it with her back feet... poor little dain bramaged kitty...
BY THE WAY
We had people from Arkansas at the retreat too... so if any of y'all live near MS you should try to come next time!!!
