Knitting at the Lake 2009

Please visit my flickr page to see photos from the weekend. Once I catch up at work and home, I hope to post some observations, etc. about the weekend! (and don't you go a-commentin' that it will be a cold day in he!! before I am caught up...)

I think we all had a really good time.

Knitting at the Lake

Only 2 more days till Knitting at the Lake in Clarksville, Virginia. 50 knitters, yarn, one hotel, knitting needles, one big conference room, yarn, snacks, beverages, yarn, patterns, vendors, yarn - sounds like the making of a great weekend! I am planning on dining here one evening and keeping it simple the rest of the time.

February - O M G !!

Yikes, it's February, another month has flown by. I have been sick, continued with the bad back, gone to Knitting @ the Lake (been avoided due to aforementioned cold), gotten better, attended a River City Knitters monthly meeting, been on a yarn/lunch crawl, driven there and back again (literary reference... do you know it?) and... worked, yes worked most of that time.

Oh, and I started knitting my first garment - real garment that is!! I am sooo excited - it is the Wrap Cardigan Top Down #263 by Knitting Pure & Simple.
I am making it in a lovely varigated green wool from Araucania.

I have more to say, but as usual, not enough time. More later... and photos too! Please check out Mary's or Robin's blogs for wonderful accounts and photos of K@TL. I can't wait until next year -- see my counter-downer up there?!
