"Kool" yarn

We've been busy dying yarn. What fun!  Here is "the experiment" I did quickly becoming the resident expert during the retreat. We're using Knit Picks Bare superwash fingering yarn, 75% wool and 25% nylon.The yarn took the dye well, Kool-aid Grape, Black Cherry and Lemon Lime. I'm using the Anastasia Sock Pattern, a free on on Ravelry. More Later!

We're off to the Rockin' S Retreat!

In the middle of a long winter our knitting group, fondly (referred to at the Knotty Knitters) decided  we should plan a small retreat once school was out. Chico was the natural choice. It's a very popular hot springs only thirty miles North of Yellowstone Park. I assure you, one visit and you'll want to come back again and again. Meals are Five Star OUT OF THIS WORLD but everything else is laid back and rustic. In the lobby board games and dogs abound, at the pool people soak, keep hydrated and visit. I've wanted to go on a Montana retreat for a long time but frankly couldn't locate one. Without any thought I jumped on the bandwagon and got the ball rolling. Right now, we're on the road and will soon be in the middle of the Rocky Mountains soaking and knitting our little hearts out. Wish you were here!
