I really want to see if I can attend next year. Maybe if I am good and only buy loopy yarn, I will save my pennies and have some okane for the fling. It looks like so much fun!

I’m trying to upload my socks to the gallery for the challenge, but it gets stuck at “cruching the picture” and won’t finish. What are the instructions exactly for submitting pics? I finished the first sock club design, Under the Sea, and it came out pretty good. Can I use this since it’s not widely distributed?

I’ll add my Brooklyn Tweed guess to the others, although it COULD be the Yarn Harlot, since the Sock Summit was mentioned also. And BTW, I’m halfway through Chart D on my Girasole Shawl and have managed to get a few from our local lace knitting group to jump onboard the Girasole wagon.

I’m ready for the last chart before the edging on my Girasole. I got messed up with the marker placement and had to look at the pictures to figure out where to start the round when I got to a new chart. I want to make another one in Dream in Color Smooshy for a shawl. I have really enjoyed this KAL.

Also got my sock club yesterday and wow – loved the buddy and gift inside. I’m not sure about the toe up pattern, but love the yarn.

Since Loopy is always at Fling, I think it’s Jared Flood. I didn’t even cast on my challenge socks–still working on plain vanillas I started for Fling. I have cast on my Girasole but am slowly working it as am trying to finish my Whispering Pine shawl also very slowly.

I’m guessing Jared too. Maybe that would be enough to get James to join us!

I would guess Jared. How fantastic is that? But I am sure that Lil Loopy will be present. I just need to block my Girasole. What fun, as well as addicting to knit and I learned so much about lace knitting. This is my first KAL. I already have yarn picked out for a second one. Please post dates of Spring Fling 2010. I want to mark my calendar.

I am in hopeful agreement with almost everyone. What a treat if we are right. I have been following his blog almost as long as yours. N

Jared would be awesome. I know that the Spring Fling is not in my future (three little kids and being a stay at home mom). I can’t wait to see all the fun you all will have a Sock Summit.

Since I’m not knitting Girasole, my guess was Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Sock Summit Queen and sock knitter extraordinaire. Could you possibly have scored both the Harlot and Jared Flood?
