Scene: Yarnista up at 4:00 after sleeping for three hours, drinking black coffee at her studio desk while yarn spins, papers print, and
R-E-S-P-E-C-T plays on the iPod docking station. Adrenaline jolts through her veins as she realizes her months of preparation are about to come to fruition and simultaneously spin out of control. Her plane leaves in just a few hours, and she is nowhere near ready.
She has no time to celebrate now, although she does give herself a small pat on the back for winning four Dye for Glory categories.
One of her favorite babies -- Sea Anemone -- took second place. She murmurs in sweet tones to the skeins who didn't win. She loves them unconditionally.
The Yarnista collects her things -- her vacuum sealed bags of yarn stuffed into a large duffel bag, her iPod that's now playing We Didn't Start the Fire, her printed labels and example socks, her thoughts. Soon, she will drive an hour to the airport and travel eight hours in a sealed metal tube at 27,000 feet up in the air to the opposite coast, hoping to take sock knitting just a little too far.

Woooooah! Congratulations for 4 awards!
Incredible, isn't it?
Ravelry folks love your yarn (and you, I suppose). .-)
Happy SockSummit!
Have a great time!!! Enjoy all to sock goodness for those of us not going.
And congrats! You so deserved it.
p.s.-Sea Anenome so should have won ;)
I wanted to congratulate you yesterday but I couldn't figure out where would be the best place to do it. I am so happy for you. I voted nad I was brutally honest as usual. Every category you were in I voted for you because your colors were by far the most beautiful. I tried to find colors that were more beautiful but always came back to your colorways so I am not biased!!!
Can't wait to get my yarn in September!
Congratulations! I've seen you at a few events in the past and love your color. I look forward to enjoying some new yarn very very soon. Enjoy the Sock Summit!
Congrats on all your wins. It just goes to show how gorgeous your colors are. I ordered Georgia Peach, and can't wait to get it. I think something with a simple pattern. Enjoy SS09.
Brava! Well done, and how wonderful to see you get your day in the sun, and many new fans. I'm glad you took a minute to bask in your hard-earned Glory!
Sea Anemone deserved to win, too! Perhaps it needs the comfort of being a Yarn Club colorway..... :P (Can't blame a girl for trying, right?)
Have a wonderful time at SS09!
Sharon, congratulations--I would say you dominated. I just saw the results and I would have to say now everyone knows what the club members have known for a long time. 3IG really is the most lovely hand-dyed yarn available. Well done.
Yay! They were all pretty but some of the winners (and second placers) especially so.
You deserve more than just a pat on the back! Your entries were awesome and your wins justly deserved. (Except I think Sea Anemone should have won, but maybe I am a bit biased.) Have a wonderful time at Sock Summit and enjoy your dinner with "the gang", including the sock puppets. Hope you post pictures.
YAY! Father Time is my favorite. I voted for you as long as Lisa didn't have an entry. I had to vote for my local girl! I didn't even feel a tiny bit guilty voting out of loyalty because you two rocked it! Hope you have a great time at the Summit!
Congratulations on the well deserved wins. That Georgia Peach is calling my name.
