Daniel, Lucky and I got home from Columbus last night. Bottom line, Lucky is deaf for life sadly.
Jeremy came and stayed with us from Ball State so that was a great save to the trip. We spent all day Tuesday at COSI while Lucky was at the OSU Vet Hospital:
It was a great way to spend the day if you’re ever in Columbus.
Back in early May I went to West Port, Ct to meet up with Jennifer (Major Knitter) for a class with Charlene Schurch.
Here’s a great shot of Jennifer in her beautiful shawl.
I went thinking I’d just have fun because, after all, I’d been knitting socks so long, what could I possibly learn. I even have a few of her books that I’ve knit socks from, so for sure she wasn’t going to teach *me* anything new. Ha. Shows what I know which isn’t near as much as I thought. lol. It was not only great fun but Charlene was a FABuoulous teacher and I learned a ton. No more holes in my gussets!
There were many great socks to be seen:
B-B-B with an S, S-S-S with a U, B with an S, S with a U, B-S-U! Woot for Ball State. And a big Woot for no more gusset holes!
Wow, I’m drooling over those socks! Your photos make the socks look a lot better than the ones in the book. I just got Schurch’s book (SKS) yesterday. After seeing your photos, I’ll look at her patterns in a new light.
Sorry about Lucky. I was hoping there would be something that could have been done.
So what’s the secret for no more holes?
I’m sorry about Lucky. I can’t believe he is the same dog that you got when you first rescued him. He looks so healthy and happy now.
It’s weird to see all those Charlene Schurch socks come to life. I’ve only seen them in books!
Wow!!! Look at all those awesome socks! I’ll bet you had a wonderful time. So, so sorry to hear about Lucky — I was hoping he’d have a better outcome. And gosh, your son is only 45 minutes from us!
I’m so sorry to hear about your Grandma. That’s a beautiful photo of her. Also sorry to hear about Lucky. But look how far he’s come since you first rescued him! Lucky truly is lucky. Seeing all those socks in person much be inspiring.
