IS IT OVER ALREADY

All that hype and now we have another year to wait... Oh my! It sure was fun, though. TOO HOT by a long shot, but the good news is it saved me money since wool was the LAST thing to excite me in that heat. I did not buy a loom, I did not buy anything really extravegant, at least not unless you count the two signature needles I bought. I spent less than $200. A first for me.

Now I want to take a weaving course at the Mannings but they are a week long and cost $495. I don't have a week available this year so I guess it will have to be put on the back burner for now. That's okay because, do I really have the time for a third or fourth hobby?

The hospitality suite was very well received and I think we all enjoyed it. Not enough shade, though. Again, way too hot for May. It felt more like August.

Quiet week ahead which is just what the doctor ordered. Knitting on Wednesday but no other evening out. It's good to just relax again. Seems like forever since I go to do that.

Found out that the FLOC house is a very nice house available for rental and it does not cost a lot more than the retreat house but is much larger. Denise and I are in discussion now about how to use it.

Frank's dinner at MS&W was delicious and i think everyone enjoyed it. He is such a good cook. If only he could clean the kitchen as well as he cooks!

I took a class the MS&W on how to read a pattern. I did not expect so many beginner knitters which was crazy on my part, if you think about it. What shocked me was that not many of them knew what a yarn over was or a SSK. I ended up teaching the ladies on either side of me both of those plus the cable cast on. The big bonus, the thing that kept me in the class for the whole three hours? AIR CONDITIONING! Worth it!

Things to look forward to: more fiber festivals in the fall, knit retreats in the fall, more knitting with friends etc. Summer is here, my most hated season, so I will stay indoors. It is air conditioning for me!
