Spring Knitting Retreat 2011

14 of us are off tomorrow for our 5th retreat in the past two years. We are going to Murieta, Ca, just north of Temecula and San Diego.

Doesn't our house looks like a French Chateau on a hill side in some part of France? That is the way we are thinking of it.

As alwasy there will be food, drink, lots of knitting, conversation, laughter and some sleep. We will be tasting the fruite of the area at some of the wineries and maybe some shopping on the way.

"Friday's Queue"

In an effort to blog more regularly I am going to assign some consistant subjects for one or two days a week. Fridays are going to be "Friday's Queue". I am going to look through my queue on Ravelry, which at the moment is 14 pages and 400 items strong, and pick a pattern to talk about. I think that will give me many wonderful blog entries, right?

Slogging Through the Sweater

I have a project that I am having to push through right now. You know those longer projects that are exciting to start. Fun to figure out. But then about half way through you hit the wall. The project goes into a very simple pattern repeat, 5x1 rib pattern, that seems to go on forever! 

Agatha is that project right now,
