i am just back from my knitting group's spring knitting retreat this weekend and i must say...it was just as fabulous, if not moreso, than our previous (and first) autumn retreat! fantastic weather, lots of knitting, glorious and lovingly prepared gourmet vegetarian cuisine and time spent with dear, dear friends. we communed with nature in the stillness and quiet of our picturesque setting, as well as with each other...in so many special ways. truly another magical retreat and a perfect weekend. our plan is to have two of these retreats, one in the fall and one in the spring, each and every year!
we invited a hair stylist/pedicurist/manicurist to our group this time, as well as welcoming back the massage therapist we enjoyed on our last retreat - truly a weekend to take care of ourselves and each other! one of the talented mamas in our group (who sews and brought her fancy sewing machine along) generously custom made embroidered nap pillows for each of us to take home to our children! i surely do love and cherish this community that i am so honored to be a part of...
as for my knitting projects this weekend, i continued to fervently work on my second felted yoga mat bag. as well as completing this first gnome hat (of several) that i am knitting for our upcoming school fundraising auction...
i hope you are having as lovely a beginning to your week as i am!
