Hi guys,
Just back from my first knitting retreat. I had a great time and met lots of wonderful guys. I learned many new things including a first lesson in spinning. The creations I saw were truly inspirational. Looks like I'm on that proverbial slippery slope! I'll let everyone know when I open that sheep & alpaca farm *grin*!

John and I had a great time too. It was my fourth, his first. Now back to grabbing time to knit when we can. Sigh

Rob! It was a delight meeting and knitting and talking with you... I love that the retreat gave space for a series of times to hang out, and not just over the span of an hour or two. I'm right with you on the inspirational creations -- wowza!

Rob,
It was great to meet you, finally...and knit with you!
It's great when a guy you know only from this list turns out to be as interesting and wonderful as you thought he would be!

Oh how fun! I would love to

Oh how fun! I would love to go to a retreat. It is so nice to get recharged and inspired. I bet it is great to connect to other knitters especially other male knitters.
