Marnette's Socks

I just love how a foot got in the top of this photo. Marnette made this pair of socks for her brother from Dudley's. They are so cushy. She traded me a handmade drop spindle, that her husband Ron had made, for the roving. We both were pleased with that trade, if the photo below is at all truthful

Marnette and her sock, handspun, handknit socks make people happy!
This was at the Kansas Sampler

STELLA!

Stella! That is one word that takes me back to Winfield, Kansas, like the smell of woodsmoke and BBQ. The Walnut Valley Festival is an annual music festival. The shouts of Stella! can be heard thoughout the campground everynight. It starts on one end of the Pecan Grove and travels like a sonic boom. Shouts of Stella! Will be heard, flair up, travelling at the speed of sound. I never found out the story behind Stella! Maybe it was "Streetcar Named Desire". Or perhaps the name of a WWII fighter plane. Or Maybe it was this yarn! by Monkeyknits
