Need A Little Inspiration??

A few things to share with you so I don't feel like a glutton and keep all these pictures to myself...
Lovely Lucy with her felted bag. It was a gift for a tiny flower girl. She wore it with pride!

Maxine with "Burma Rings" from the Best of Interweave Knits. I swear she cast on for this and was done a few hours later!
Booties created by Mary! She knit the sweater and then decided to whip up her own design of booties!

And...if you are looking for a little Elizabeth Zimmermann...how about the "February Sweater" from "Knitter's Almanac"?

Yarn and Yoga...YEAH!!

A while back the Lovely Lucy stopped in the shop and said to me "I think we should take a trip. We will meet somewhere, do some yoga, lots of knitting and have fun". I think the 2 footer was swinging from the light fixtures, there were 17 boxes of yarn to be unloaded and there wasn't a size 8 needle to be found in the shop. "Ummm, I'm up to my ears right now Lucy. I'll let you know." About 5 months later, this was the sight out the window of Lucy's car....

Through the changing leaves the retreat house can be seen...

10 ladies joined us in Sturgeon Bay Friday evening. The home was built in 1912, sat on 20 acres of gorgeous wooded land. Between knitting and relaxing yoga, some took trips to the local yarn shops, wineries and botiques. The schedule was loose, we did yoga when people were ready, we ate when people were hungry, we went to bed when we were tired (or for some, when the wine ran out)

and knit during the time in between!

We ate great food and enjoyed the company. (This table may have been worth the trip. The top of it was a lazy susan. That's right, take a spoonful and spin it around!)

It was a beautiful weekend to meet new people and practice yoga due to the stresses of knitting! Beautiful weather, great knitting and new friends that made wonderful company!
Yes, Lucy's squirrel is running on it's wheel in her head for the next trip.
She did call it the 1st annual afterall.
