Our original six knitters enjoyed last year's retreat so much we decided to do a retake on the Rockin' S Retreat (Sit, Sip, and Stockinette!) There were eleven this year almost doubling our group and I think we had even more fun. Food was outstanding.We knit, knit knit and sipped a little. We dyed yarn in several sessions, some soaked in the hot springs while others dyed their sock yarn.  Everyone let their creative juices flow and some yarn was tonal, some mottled, and some mottled and then over dyed in tonal!  Each member took a turn working on a charity project for the school's PTA silent auction this fall. We soaked in the pool but by mutual agreement- no photos, and enjoyed the great outdoors. A few dedicated knitters even knit their projects late into the night.   It was declared The Rockin' S Retreat Take Two was a great success and all are looking forward to next June 14th and 15th!

We had a great time at the retreat, lots of food and fun! We were pretty laid back, Linda gave English knitting a try and did her best to get the hang of knitting backwards. The rest of us happily knit on projects we had brought from home. Cindy was the only one to complete a project while we were there, she "Knit, knit like the wind!" Her granddaughter will  be so happy to receive her Wonderful Wallaby!  The definite hit was dying yarn:  Once the yarn was dry we couldn't wait to get it wound...  even when one skein turned into a bit of a disaster! Everyone was impressed with the bags DD The California Dreamin' Gal made for us! We are all looking forward to next year!
