I have been participating in NonTeam Challenge for a while now and I won this week. I'm so excited. That means there is a good change of seeing my yarn in several front page treasuries.

State of Wonder by Ann Patchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another beautiful book by Ann Patchett. The heroine is likable, if a bit daft. It's a story you just glide along with. It's not as heartbreaking as Bel Canto, but Ann Patchett is a beautiful writer with a lot of heart.

Post Summit Recap
Wednesday, August 03, 2011
Sock Summit was just as fun as I remembered the first time around. I did the booth on my own this year, although Ruth's stitch savers with me. I also brought along the lovely Laura's Dizzy Blonde Yarn.
On Thursday with Tina, Jen and my sister we got the booth up in record time. Even with the little man we had plenty of time for lunch and for me to take my afternoon class with Crissy Gardiner, Designing with Handpainted Yarn.
Thursday and Friday were the busiest day for sales. We attended the opening night reception, but skipped out on the Sock Hop. It is exhausting working in a booth all day. I was able to meet my shipmate from the Starfleet Fiber Arts Corp on Ravelry. JenyBecca was super sweet and fun to chat with.
We stayed in the Jupiter Hotel near in downtown Portland. Super cute boutique hotel with chalkboard doors. I let Will draw on the doors, which I was told may be a bad idea.
Over all I'm happy with the convention. I meet my sales goal and had a good time. I may participate again in two years.
