Meeting Internet Friends

This past weekend I was honored to be able to teach at a retreat held in the UP (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan, hosted by Rae of Rae's Yarn Boutique. We had 25 knitters, all of whom (or is it who) were absolutely WONDERFUL. They were great students, fun people and easy to be with. I couldn't have had a nicer weekend. Thanks to each and every one of you.

However, before I came, I forgot to pack the camera and boy was THAT a mistake. The colors were absolutely beautiful. And speaking of colors, I was able to spend a lot of time with Lynne H of Color Joy. This woman LOVES color and just truly lives up to her company's name of Color Joy. And for those of you who know me, you may find this hard to believe, but she can talk even more than me!!! But what WONDERFUL conversations we had!

Right now I am sitting in the Cincinnati airport getting ready to leave for Baltimore. Although teaching at Cloverhill Yarn shop and Stitches East will be fun, I am really excited about spending some time with my good friend Jeanne of Nature Speak Knits. We have such great energy when we get together! So I am sure some great things will be getting posted in the next few days!

The Next Knit A Long

Today I am traveling ALL DAY. Right now I am sitting in the Atlanta airport during a 4 hour layover getting caught up on some "internet stuff". However, the big news is that I have finalized the design for the next knit-a-long. Well, at least finalized enough to begin the knitting. Today is the first day of a 10 day trip with a number of opportunties for quality knitting time. My hope is that I will have made significant progres on the project by the time I get home!

So the topic for the next knit-a-long is COLOR. But as I have been thinking about it -- I think I should call it a learn-a-long or a class a month or a mystery project -- because knit-a-long just doesn't cover it! Keep posted to see pictures as I begin making some progress.
