Another Victory in the Hold My Sock Game

So as many of you know I love the Yarn Harlot's Hold My Sock Game. I recently was able to get a few more pics with people holding my sock. Some of you may not know the fabulous trio of Willam, Detox, and Vicky Vox, but prepare to learn. These three queens have put out two hit songs on YouTube. The first was Chow Down (at Chick-Fil-A). The latest was Boy is a Bottom. Recently I was able to see them preform their hits at my favorite bar Roscoe's, where you can find me knitting much of the time. So I went and watched them preform and they were incredible. After they show they did a meet and greet where I was able to get the Hold My Sock Pics.

First up Willam
I think I may have freaked Willam out a lil bit. Her face says it all. . ."Why am I holding this sock?" LOL. I think I may be the first to ask her do do this.


Next up was Detox
Detox played along very nicely with my request. I love when people really get into it. You can totally tell she's not a knitter by the way she's holding the needle but that's kinda what makes it so fun.

Lastly Vicky Vox:
Vicky definitely got into the spirit. All I can say about this picture is. WERK!


If you want to check out their videos I will post the links below. Although this videos are amazing the may not be appropriate for younger viewers, just a little heads up. :)



Till next time keep on knitting!

What I've Been Up To

Hey everyone I thought I'd give you all a lil update on what's been going on with me before I sit down and spend the evening drawing. It's been busy here but good.


I was able to do something that as far as I know I am the first and only person to do so. I knit on a roller coaster!


I also took a stab at dying my own yarn. I'm really happy with how it turned out!





I call the colorway Golden Birthday. I knit a hat to wear on my birthday this year which happened to be my Golden Birthday. So clever I know lol. I finished on the train going to the bar. I finished knitting and weaving in the ends and put it on and walked of the train. Here's a pic from the night with my friend Alyssa .

 Work has been going really well. We just had our Fall Yarn Tasting at Windy Knitty. We also had a color theory class given by the very talented Amy Hendrix, dyer behind the beautiful color ways of Madelinetosh. Here is a picture of us with her holding my sock-in-progress.
We also had the very talented Stephen West of Westknits stop by the shop and knit for awhile. He was also kind enough to hold my sock. Which was awesome because the first time we met I didn't get the chance to get a pic.
So things have been good here. I will try to be better about updating with more strips or at least blog posts in between. Till next time. Happy Knitting!
