MN Knitters' Days

Minnesota Knitters' Days was this past weekend, and I got to go for the first time ever... There was a visit to an alpaca farm:




I hadn't been to a farm in a long time.  It was fun.  I still hate cows.

The retreat was at Villa Maria in Frontenac, Minnesota.  
Lovely spot.

I walked the labyrinth this morning, which was very therapeutic.  It made me realize that I should heed my own advice to others, and slow down a bit.  (I am constantly telling Auntie to slow down).


I tried thanking my wonderful, late friend Sue Fisher for ever telling me about it in the first place as I walked the labyrinth.  I hope she was listening.



The instructor for the weekend was none other than...


... Lucy Neatby.  What an amazing person.  The woman is a genius.


I had a great time... I exercised great restraint and did not purchase yarn ... my thanks to Kmkat for being a great room mate  ... also thanks to Jean for getting me on the list.

Knitters are fun and interesting people... I hope I get to go again next year.
