From Susan — What do you do when it is -40 windchill?

Again?  Really? C’mon!!

I am going to drive 4-1/2 hours to get to Deer Valley Lodge in Barneveld, Wisconsin!  All by my lonesome.  Why?  I am asking myself that very question.  I don’t even want to go out to my car, much less load it up!!  But, I decided to attend the first ever Sun Valley Fibers Knitting Retreat.  I am sure they knew that January was a dicey time to hold such an event, but what the heck.

I have packed a lot of knitting and a lot of warm weather gear – mostly sweaters! 🙂  I hope to have several FOs done by the end of the weekend and to weigh 15 more pounds.  The second goal is a sure thing!!


Almost packed!!!

  1. Several years ago, Barneveld was, almost, completely destroyed by a tornado. But, the people of that wonderful town were not to be defeated. They rebuilt the town over time, better than ever. I know you will have a wonderful time with strong, hardworking, terrific people!

  5. Do you have a pattern for the aran cable pillow in your picture with your dog? It is really beautiful. I am about to make your Surrounded Lap Robe and have been trying to decide whether to use a different edge. Do you have any suggestions?

  6. You were there?! I was there! Wonderful time and I wish I had known who you were so I could have fawned all over you!
