Oh my, can you believe it 3 in a row.  I must be on a roll, or I may be avoiding other business that needs to be taken care of.  Nah, surely not. LOL

I wanted to share the pics I took of the 2 socks that Wendy sent for me to show off at the Trunk Show. 

This is the Einkorn sock, in the Emergency colorway, which was one of the first colorways to sell out at the trunk show.  This is really a beautiful sock and I can't tell you what an honor it is to have such an accomplished designer use Tempted's Good Grrl.  

Surely you are aware that Wendy's second book "Socks from the Toe Up"  will be released next month.  She posted some pictures from the book today on her blog and WOW!  I can't wait to get mine, it is scheduled to be delivered on April 16, I will be stalking the UPS lady.

You may remember that my Gray Ladies and I took a trip to The Loopy Ewe's Spring fling last April.  It was fantastic getting to meet Wendy and even get to take her out for a drink.  Lucky for me I will get the blessing of getting to meet up with her two times this year, first at the Spring Fling '09 and then again at the SWAK Knit Out '09. 

This sock is the Sign of Spring.  Once again knit and designed by Wendy, in the Iris Good Grrl colorway.  This colorway sold out too.  I still can't believe how wonderful my knitting friends are.

Speaking of the Gray Ladies I am happy to report that Kaye is doing well after her recent knee replacement.  We have been meeting at Kaye's during her recuperation and I was able to get one picture of from left to right of Kaye, (Taylor the Doberman, Kaye's guardian)  Keri, and Del.   Aren't they all so pretty!  I love my buddies.  

Yes, Keri came for another visit and we almost have everything together for the Tempted @ 3AM yarn and bag club done.  If it hadn't been for a family emergency everything would have been mailed out this week.  Still I have no doubt that everyone will get their packages earlier then planned originally. 

Speaking of Keri coming to visit, she insisted that we have a spa day.  The sacrifices I make for my friends, seriously.  She got us scheduled for facials and massages at a wonderful Spa in Bartlesville called Fusion Massage and Spa Therapies.  We were scheduled close together but there was going to be a little down time in between so of course we took our knitting, like we wouldn't have anyway. LOL   We were greeted by Julie, a very warm and endearing woman.  She kinda looked at us funny for a minute, then quickly apologized for having to schedule us with some down time.  Keri quickly told her not to worry we would be fine, "we brought our knitting".  Julie then got a great big smile on her face and said "I knew I had seen you before"  looking straight at me.  She actually recognized me... Keri got a big laugh out of that.  Come to find out that several of the women that work there including the owner, Nancy, are knitters and have seen my yarn before.   Seriously how amazing is that??  After getting to talk about yarn, which I never get tired of, I had an incredible facial and a soothing massage, followed by a little more yarn chat.  I then I bought a massage for Bob and went back on Monday for his massage and got to sit in the waiting room and talk yarn a bit more with Julie and Nancy.  We also discussed aromatherapy, I have a lot learn about that.  We might even get a knitting group together, I love to meet other knitters, we are an amazing group of people.  Don't you think?
