After the weekend comes Monday

My craft retreat was a big success and I've returned home refreshed and relaxed. I did heaps of dyeing, a bit of spinning, a bit of knitting, alot of chatting and eating. So much creative energy in one place can be pretty inspiring! My only regret is that I didn't have more rovings to dye up. All of these ones are 16 micron Lambswool, and $15 for 100 g, So delicous to spin, or contact me and I can spin them for you.

Retreat

Just the word retreat makes me feel calmer! Just roll it around in your mouth and see how it sounds... I am lucky enough to escape real life pretty regularly with a group of crafty friends, a full weekend, friday lunchtime till sunday afternoon, with nothing to do but knit, spin, eat, drink and chat! Each time I come back feeling relaxed and ready to eat the delicious sunday roast hubby always cooks. Anyway, this mini update is to clear the decks before a whole weekend of craftiness, I'm hoping to achieve great things to show you when I get back!!

Who'd have thought?

I had an update all ready to go, honest I did, I had some lovely yarns all photographed and loaded up, just waiting for me to arrange them artfully, then over the course of one weekend I had my monthly knitting meetup and a car boot sale. I wasn't going to take my wares to either, but for one reason and another I did, and came back almost empty handed! Who would have thought that the local primary school carpark would be home to so many prolific yarnies? Anyway, it's taken me a couple of weeks to restock, and I've had a new experience along the way, I've met, dyed and spun some lovely 16 micron Tassie Lambswool, which was like a bowlful of butter! Everytime I go past it begs to be touched!
