Trunk Show @ Jenning Street Yarns

Img_0890 

Trunk Show!

What: Madtosh Trunk Show

When: Saturday, November 10th, 2007 from 10am to 12pm or later

Where: Jenning Street Yarns in Fort Worth, Texas (in a fabulous historic building no less)

Why: because yarn is a necessary and positive addiction? no?

We will be bringing boo-koos of yarn along with the Candy Cane Knee Sock kits and the Chrismukkuh knee socks that I just cannot seem to make fast enough!

Plus, a few of the new colorways for the Winter line will make their debut as well.

Can you say Pop-Rocks, Citrus and Tomato three times in a row really fast?

Spring_newbies

You can't! Well, neither can I.

By the way!!!!!!!!

Question for each and everyone!

What COLOR would you like to see added to the Winter line?

And has everyone already seen this sock pattern because it is new news to me? But then again I am always so far behind the curve I am usually no where near it, something akin to being at the end of the line where the curve begins.

I am smitten with MimKnits, Eleanora Socks pattern, the historical aspect of the pattern, is very intriguing. The interesting part is I actually purchased a post card of this portrait of Eleanora at the Uffizi in Florence because I was so intrigued by her fingers and the way she carried herself in the portrait. Funny what a small/big world this is.

Count me in on this pattern.
