Entries in the traveling needles (20)
dashing to and fro
ooh, my chitlins, it's been a long week, full of fun and folks and quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing...
A big thank you to those of you who braved the all-weekend all-top-down extravaganza at Suzanne's house from Madrona Fiber Arts. All I know is, I had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed myself, and the venue, and the great food – I hope you all did, too.
I managed to develop a pretty severe case of camnesia during the weekend, but I caught the quiet before the storm on Saturday morning:
And then there was a work week, and some busy, happy knitting circles at Churchmouse, and then
HEY
PRESTO
EUREKA
and LO,
it's time for the Acorn Street Annual Knitting Retreat at Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat outside Leavenworth, WA.
Nestled in the eastern slopes of the fantastic Cascade mountains, a whole climate away from our Wet Coast...
Kath and I left Bainbridge under glowering skies and 50 degrees, and emerged, blinking, a few hours later, into mid-eighties and sun sun sun.
Aaaaah.
And now, off to knit.
Who's going to guess how many projects I brought along for this 4-day orgy of sitting and knitting?
Extra credit to those who can guess what I bought at Acorn Street itself on the way over.
(Hey- I was on a legitimate mission! Delivering patterns! Under the auspice of actual, like, business n' sh*t! Honest! I don't know how those 2 skeins of Kauni jumped into my Swift bag, officer! Really? Oh - that hat pattern? That's nothing. Nope, not related at all. I'm just holding it for a friend.)

Greetings from Cannon Beach, everyone!
guild meeting tonight!
The car is full to the brim with sweaters and patterns and samples …
The dog is looking bored …
Must be time to take the show on the road again!
See you at the Seattle Knitters' Guild meeting tonight-
Wedgewood, Seattle
I will need lots of reminders to not talk at warp speed –
If I do, my talk will only last 18 minutes,
and we'll be out in time for the last half of happy hour.
Bring sweaters, if you've knit with an Unpattern!
(Socks, too - or hats – let's see 'em!)
See you there!
a grand weekend
We're packing up to head out of Spokane, and I hope I can say that A Grand time was had by all at AGY.
Note to all who are flocking here heading to the yarn shop–
This ain't it:
It could be, though - Mary and Stacy and all the AGY staff do such a lovely job to make the shop beautiful and welcoming. Wish I could show you how they do that, but of course I had camnesia all weekend while teaching.
Of course, I fell down and had to do some stash enhancement...
I'll do a blow-by-blow post of my Grand Haul in the next post.
[Ooh, Clara -- is that your book I see in there?]

KarenJo always does such a nice job with her "Saturday Skies" photos...
Here's what Spokane had up her sleeve for us this evening:
