Here are 3 versions of the Maltese Ring motif I will be teaching. I'm just now noticing that I never blocked some of these squares. How embarrassing! But if I don't post today, it may be too long before my next chance.

I Gots Socks
Has it ever happened to you that your fallback project, intended for times when you couldn't concentrate enough to work on your important project, became the only thing you felt like doing? So, while I have numerous works-in-progress and deadlines to meet, I have new socks.
The pattern is really simple, as befits a fallback project: Socks on a Plane by Laura Linneman, available on Ravelry. Except, I substituted the Fish Lips Kiss Heel, also available on Ravelry, because that's the heel I always do. The yarn is Patons Kroy Socks, color Sunburst Stripes. I have no idea if that is still available.
When I started, I didn't realize how loooong those color repeats would be. The second skein didn't start in the same place as the first one, but I think I did a good job finding a place to begin the second sock so they more or less match.
They actually fit and look good, so I am happy. But now I have to go back to all those things I was supposed to be doing, sigh.

State Fair Ribbons
I visited with Anitra at her tatting booth inside the Village of Yesteryear, had nice chats with a weaver and a potter, and saw many beautiful crafts.
The Exhibition Building houses the ribbon competition entries. We do not have very many tatting categories, but quilting and embroidery are especially plentiful and exquisite.
Each year as I walk through the fair, I think of all the things I can make and all the categories I can enter the next year. Will I actually make all those things in time?

Oh, were you expecting news about the new book? I'll have some for sale at the Palmetto Tat Days conference this weekend and then start selling to the general public on Sunday or Monday.
