I decided to spend the day before check-in for the retreat in Denver. I've never been there before and don't know if anyone has any thoughts on what I should see, what yarn shops are worth visiting (they all are in my opinion, just looking for an editing eye) or where I should go. Thank you in advance!

Hey Charles, here's the name and information for one yarn shop in Denver and I feel that it's really worth seeing. The Lamb Shoppe is devoted to knitting. Here's a link to the website Sid:

You guys are making me wish

You guys are making me wish I could leave on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Too bad I have to work Tuesday night or I'd make some magic happen.

Thanks for the kind thought,

Thanks for the kind thought, Frank. However, it truly can't happen. Packing, planning, re-packing, theater date that night, and whatever else crops up. Still, only 5 more days to go. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

Sorry, Q. As you know, I

Sorry, Q. As you know, I have a busy Wednesday before we leave Thursday morning. I wouldn't be able to cancel anything to help make the magic happen. In fact, you may have to poke me to make sure I'm awake as we drive down. [Or sic the pup on me.] -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

Of course...I'm looking forward to it. Not only to finalize plans for Thursday but also so Debbi and your fine self can sit and knit with me. It will be a nice way to kickstart what promises to be a very, very busy day. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
