Sock Summit is a pure celebration: history, creativity, possibility; all the colors of knitting.

Though I won't make it to the Summit this year, I'll take the opportunity to celebrate creativity, craft, and community. After all, like many "process" knitters know, it's as much about the journey as it is the end result.

One definite action I've chosen to take during "Summit Week" will be to visit my LYS (local yarn shop), which is about an hour away, and catch up on what's new, browse, be inspired and spend some money locally.

I hope that listeners to this program might consider doing something similar, both in celebration of community and to honor the collective positive spirit that we as knitters champion.

Thank you, Emily, for this program, and thanks to your guests for a lively and enjoyable hour.
