Here’s the proof, the sock was in Denver
![]()
The sister – and brother -hood – of the Traveling Sock brought to you by the Harlot. Denver was over 200 strong – and I now know of what might be about the only place to get fresh pizza and beer at midnight in LoDo.
Speaking of Socks – Denver is rife with them – or soon will be. The Denver Knits Yahoo Group has thrown down the sock, as it were, with the 5280 Sock Challenge. (for those of you who may not be from around here and don’t get the significance of why 5280 socks – Denver is at an altitude (they say) of 5280 ft above sea level – hence Harlot’s inability to breathe. That’s how Denver gets its designation as the Mile High City.) The goal is to knit 5280 pairs of socks and members of the group will be contributing prizes for the first to finish a pair, as well as the knitter who makes the 5280th pair. Denver/Metro area sock freaks – get your sock freak on.
Here’s what’s on my mind today:

“ Well, I woke up in the morning
There’s frogs inside my socks
Your mama, she’s a-hidin’
Inside the icebox
Your daddy walks in wearin’
A Napoleon Bonaparte mask
Then you ask why I don’t live here
Honey, do you have to ask?” Bob Dylan “On The Road Again” from Bringing It All Back Home (1965)

Hi Tara,
I just found your blog and have admired your all your books. I was priviledge to be at the Tattered Cover for the Harlot’s booktour. I was able to film a bit of her talk. You can find it on You Tube under Yarn Harlot.

Hi
Just found your blog , read your article on Knitty and found out that I am not the only one with Dylan in her mind(VBG) . I will think of you later today when I have my daily share of one of Dylan’s CD. And will remember his concert in Paris last month .
And will try and get EE Cummings book in english sometime soon as I have not read his poetry . My ! something wonderful seems to be ahead for me ! Thanks
