On each end of the retreat I stayed with visionary Jeny Staiman of Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off fame (check out her blog at curiousknitter.blogspot.com). Jeny is a self-proclaimed knitting geek and the creator of several ingenious patterns that are FREE through Ravelry. We had mind-bending conversations about bind-offs, cast-ons, and sock construction. As I headed out the door, Jeny handed me a goodie bag of tasty morsels, which included jerky from the elk her husband shot, chocolate, and a pair of her most fascinating Double Heelix socks! Check out those heels--that's where the socks begin! And don't you just love the spot of contrast at the toes? I'll need a new pair of shoes to show them off.

Do you want see-through clogs or boots?

Hmmm, do I smell a self-published by Ann Budd in the near future? I like the idea of getting chapters of an e-book from you on a regular basis, like Cat did with her latest book.
You have reminded me how much I love this sock design. This fall I found myself with four half skeins of Blue Moon yarn -- I now know what I will do with them (besides enjoying their eye-candy nature).
I would call you a lucky woman to have friends who are also very talented. Not a brat at all...
I don't think you qualify as a spoiled brat but I do admire you for realizig how fortunate you are.
Just remember you have worked hard and deserve the rewards that come your way.
Keep up the good work.
