Camp was terrific — Kim is a great knitting partner and travel partner. We had so much fun. Everyone was welcoming to us as Camp Newbies and we got quite inspired. There are some damn fine knitters out there! I also met some loyal readers and loved hanging out with them!!
Meg [Swansen] was still recovering from an unfortunate run in with Lyme’s Disease. She needed a lot of rest and could not participate as much as she would have liked. It was a disappointment to everyone, but we all understood and wish her a speedy recovery.
Not the best picture, but the best people!!
The Day in Action
Break Time!!
Each day was a melange of mini-tutorials, Camper Show-and-Tell, contests and raffles. Serious knitting time with serious, fun-loving knitters. And lots of shopping and noshing opportunities, too!
My shopping:
The yarn is Cheryl Oberle’s special blend called Dancing Colors. One for me, and one for Sally — Sally’s is red-violet and mine reddish-black. Cheryl has a new vest pattern that I want to start ASAP. It should be a quick knit and will soon be revealed ;). The bag is a complete copycat of Kim’s cute camera bag: The ACME Bowling Case from National Camera Exchange…had.to.get.one.now.
Back on the hamster wheel tomorow…
What. Fun. I want that camera bag. Now.

So glad you are back! Have been waiting for this post. Loved the photos but not like any “camp” I have been to. Where are the horseflies, canoes, bad food, bunk beds, campfires and outside latrines? All I see you gratefully did without! Eager to hear more, more, more!
