Someone 0n Ravelry suggested that folks traveling to Sock Summit make little knitted socks to wear as lapel pins on the journey, so we can identify each other and also spread the word about the delights of sock knitting.

So here is my teeny tiny sock, out of Blue Faced Leicester yarn on my It’s Easy Being Green colorway, another skein available in my Etsy shop. Adorable, no? It has a teeny tiny short row heel

and a teeny tiny kitchenered toe. The ankle area was not so teeny tiny, so I took a couple of stitches in it, which give it a charming quasi-medieval look, I think.
Sock Summit is going to be grand! I’ll be a vendor there, and am dyeing (for me) vast quantities of yarn to take. See you there?

It is amazing that as I rediscover knitting in my life it is leading me back to some of my favorite authors (via SS09). First – Barbara Walker and now, by association Greg Bear. I certainly never thought I would find Feminism and Sci-Fi connected by a thread!
