Mens’ Spring Knitting Retreat 2010
I could just cry. I mean, literally. So many highlights. So many beautifully gifted men converged on one spot in the most idyllic spot I could have imagined. I arrived at 10:30pm on Thursday night to a sky full of stars and a choir of bullfrogs by the lake.
I’m a nervous, anxiety-ridden person by nature usually. But, walking in to a room FULL of men sitting around knitting, chatting, laughing, and blissing out on the peaceful click of knitting needles was just breath-taking. Anxiety was relieved of his duties at that point. I will always remember this.
This little guy was definitely a highlight for me:
He lives at the Foster Farm. Carole Foster, our guide, was so great. I could have stayed there all day.
Between the new friends, the free yarn (by some kick ASS sponsors) the swag, the setting, the food, the lace, and the spirit I felt all around me the entire weekend, I have just begun to process the memories. I’ve had a smile on my face since I’ve returned. I’ll do another post later with more photos.
Shout out to KnitterGuyTed and QueerJoe. Just amazing amazing amazing guys I feel so fortunate to have met.
*sigh* Wish I could have been there. And you’re right, Ted & Joe are beyond wonderful. Love them both dearly.
I’m glad you had a great time! Sounds like the R&R you needed. *hugs*
Sigh.
Knitting and men. Is there a better combination? Glad to hear you were able to lay the crap at the door and relax - it sounds divine. More pictures please - I want to squee over the knitting gents!
