We’re Back!!

Well almost. I will agree with Stephanie that Camp has a mortality rate. I think we will need to make “Sock Camp Survivor” buttons for next year.

It was seriously crazy fun and even my wildest dreams did not hold a candle to what we all created together. I might be the head instigator but the magic of camp involves every single person there. We are just a bunch of stitches in a great pattern, of course in Gauge! (sorry)

Here are a few of my favorite moments: ( click on photo to enlarge)

I had not a clue that when I was sent to open the front door that this is what would greet me when I returned. “The Yarn Enforcers”

“Go with the flow swap” Where we played pass the TP cover to Cockeyed’s tale of hilarity enacted by Cat, Steph and Hot Flash.

Preformance Art at its absolute best. The infamous cockamamie chicken returns for yet another anatomy lesson from her creators Stephanie and Cat, the dynamic duo.

The visual feast that was the camp homework. So creative and wonderful. I want a museum showing for these. Every single one was a work of art.

Serious monkey madness.

Informative and entertaining classes where we learned all kinds of sock related goodness including exactly what is my fault and what is not.

Ahhhh, knitting!

and of course wrapping things up with a little sock puppet theatre.

So much fun and still legal, amazing!!

It is taking me a wee bit longer to recover than I would have predicted. I apologize for taking so very long to get anything up here. I figure with all of everyone else’s posts you did get a taste of what was going down. We have a Flickr account that I will post the massive amount of pics on and also give you the info. so you can post yours also if you like. With all that we have together we could make quite a record of this experience.

To campers, counselors and staff . My heart is so very full and from there I thank you for every single moment.

From the Ferry Dock to Rosario

There will be a lot of Blue Moon staff at Rosario and we can make several trips to the ferry to pick people up. If I knew which ones the most were coming in on that needed rides that would be helpful. So maybe if you commented to this post with the time your ferry docks at Orcas. We can work something out.

thanks

Cleaning up from January and keeping the blog tidy.

Announcements, March Kit Questions | March 25, 2008
By Blog Mom Alice

Mostly just re-categorized some posts. I only remember combining two posts on the same subject. The “photo links” post and “I’m finished” post will stick around for another couple of weeks before reverting to normal status from announcement status which is what keeps them at the top of the blog .

 

Thank you everyone for keeping your “It’s Here” together as comments to the original post. I’m sure our “feed” readers appreciate that.

 

If you happen to be a speed knitter that got your kit early please hold off on posting photos here for at least a couple of weeks. However first one done gets to title and start the “WhooHoo I’m finished post”! Everyone please be on the look out for that post. If you’re first and after you post send me an e-mail via the blog mom contact I’ll magically convert your post to an Announcement sticky!Happy Spring everyone. Enjoy the new kit when you get it and in the meanwhile you can play the game Tina posted earlier via a link to luckycharms.
