Well, we knew that the photographer (Stephanie Yao) was going to publish the picture, but let me tell you... when LMKnits and Gromknit found the paper at breakfast at the Marriott yesterday, let's just say we were a little flabbergasted. Such a big picture! Totally awesome! The same picture is also in the slideshow at the bottom of the online article as well, which can be found here. (And yes, we each picked up "a few" copies of the paper!)
They also posted a short video of the Guiness attempt. If I'm not such a complete lame-ass, I'll figure out how to post to it here.

Actually, we were not the Sock Stars of the Summit. That title rightfully and truly belong to Tina, Stephanie, Debbi, Debbie, Rachel, JoAnn, and the other names that I can't quite remember now. From organizing a sock camp for 80 people Tina et al took the leap and organized a full-fledged conference for 2,000, and they pulled it off with grace, skill, and aplomb, plus a gazillion superlatives. If anything truly went off the rails, it was nowhere to be seen by mortals. Nothing that didn't go perfectly was of any consequence, and 99% of it sure seemed to go perfectly. Even if all they had managed to do was to sucker us into being at the OCC with 20 knitting goddesses, we would have been happy to bask in their glow (and either fangirled all over them or pointed at them from afar).
To ST-1 and ST-2: It was fantastically and truly amazing. Name the year and place, and we'll be back.
