i recently had the pleasure of attending the most amazing knitting retreat - yes, a knitting retreat! a weekend totally and completely devoted to knitting and enjoying the company of 20 other lovely knitting mamas (one of our more ambitious mamas organized the whole event). the setting was a magnificent and extraordinary location, moriah, situated on three secluded acres near lake travis here in central texas and consisted of three historic log cabins that have been meticulously restored. two of the cabins were for our lodging (and, i must say, the bed i slept in had THE most comfortable mattress i do believe i've ever slept on)...
the third building was a grand hall where we all met together to knit (whether that was inside, on the porch or around the adjacent fire pit) as well as enjoy our exquisitely prepared meals (one of our knitting mamas is a gourmet chef!)...
we had show-n-tell of any finished knits we brought with us and we all ooh'd and ahh'd over each other's work. we shared patterns. and yarn. and expertise. and just about everything that has anything to do with knitting.
we even had a massage therapist available to us on one day for both full body and chair massages! to say the experience was absolutely magical would truly be an understatement. as you can imagine, we're already planning another retreat in the spring!
