I'm in Austin on a trip for work this week, but need to give a big Thank You to Zonda! She sent me a nice little rak that arrived last week. She sent me some leftover sock yarn so I can make another square for the Leftovers Afghan I'm making. I believe this yarn is some leftover Socks that Rock in a Christmas color. She also sent a handy tape measure, some cool stitch markers, and a sample of a wool wash I've never tried. Thank you so much!
I brought the yarn with me on the trip, but so far I haven't any knitting time except on the plane on the way out to Austin. I'm working on the matching socks that Zonda and I have planned for the upcoming wool festival.
My seat mate on the plane found the whole sock knitting thing rather interesting and got a small introductory lesson on sock construction. He claimed he found it interesting - it was fun to talk about it anyway.
I'm busy at work here in Austin, but I can't complain too much because my primary role is conference photographer. The company I work for won't pay for a real photographer and since I have a camera I got volunteered.
I don't mind really at all though. It is much better than sitting behind a registration desk for days or doing website demos for attendees. I get to wonder around a little bit too.
This photo is of some interesting flowers that the hotel has in a vase in the middle of the lobby. They are some of the wildest flowers I've ever seen. I have no idea what they are called or where they grow. They remind me of something out of a Dr. Seuss boo though.
Well my break is over for now, I'll see if I can get any more interesting photos to share later.

Zonda is so awesome! Great package! And um. Odd flowers indeed.
Nice pics! What a coincidence, a singer I work with is in Austin for a conference this week too. (She has a day job as a dietitian.)
Austin is SUCH a great town, drink a Lone Star Beer for me!!!
Wow, that is an interesting flower indeed!! :)
What an amazing flower shot this is! Very strange and odd, but totally pretty nonetheless!
Are those Entrelac stitch markers? If so, how funny--you're in Austin, home of Entrelac
Nice leftover yarn! Hope you have a safe and productive trip:)

funny how people view knitting socks when they see it. I have had to explain to many a seat mate on planes what it was! :)
Very "interesting" flowers indeed!
What a nice package from Zonda.
Zonda rocks!!
And they picked the right woman for photography duty in Austin! Have some good 'Q for me!
It's my favorite Soak scent. :) I went a little crazy since it's a limited edition and bought as many as I could get. LOL. Hope your trip is going well. And that you had the time to visit Hill Country Weavers. :)
Nice RAK! I love the flowers. I think they're pretty and unique. Vibrant as well. Have fun!

That Zonda sure is fabulous! She knows how to put a smile on our faces, doesn't she!
Beautiful! Zonda is a wonderful human being with wonderful taste in gifties.
The fruits beneath the flowers remind me of bananas... wonder if it's a relative (it's the botanist in me). Hope you enjoyed Austin!
Georgeous flowers!!! You really should be a photographer your pics are fabulous! Lovely gift from Zonda. Have fun in Austin. :)
I believe those are bananas, actually. Were they at the Four Seasons? Are you still in Austin? E-mail me!
