I also started Dye Dreams Luster Sox that I got last summer at Sock Summit. It is really, really boring to knit so it was perfect for camp. The last several years I brought charted knitting and spent the entire camp with head down and my nose pressed to my chart. I also brought my Miss Bab's Yummy Sport (also purchased at Sock Summit) and started Audrey in Unst. After knitting a few sloppy rows of twisted stitch ribbing I conned Amy Detjen into knitting on it for awhile for me. Her knitting is tight. She whipped that ribbing into shape and fixed an edge stitch error for me. I've knit a few more rows of it but I have to work so hard to keep my gauge firm I'm afraid I'll hurt my hands if I knit too much at a time.
I bought the pattern for the Double-V Vest and got the idea to use Silky Wool XL, when it comes out, for it from Heather from the Sow's Ear. As always I came home churning with ideas about what to knit for the next year and vowing to finish my Giant Latvian Mitten Cardigan by next year. Fingers crossed.

We had a great time. Your Lloie turned out great - hurry up and get a picture posted.
Glad you got home safely. Miss you.
So happy you all had such a great time...I really hope to get there next year...
You showed us a gorgeous resolution to the color problem, but you're not showing us the finished sweater?
Waaaah! (I'm whiney these days.)
Glad you had a great time and I'm looking forward to seeing what you knit up next! Good for you for being careful with your hands.
