Knit Retreat

I’m calling it my knitting retreat. As of Sunday, I will spend a week in Gainesville, FL with my SIL. I plan to knit, knit, knit. On Monday, I’m visiting the LYS to join in on some charity knitting. On Wednesday, I may show up and the guild meeting. The rest of the time, I will be lounging at her house, knitting and listening to my books on tape.

I hope to get some major progress done on Chamomile and my crochet afghan. I only have 15 more squares to go. The country afghan that you see on hold in my sidebar will be going with me. My original idea when I started that afghan was to make it for charity. Which charity I haven’t decided. I guess it will depend on how it turns out. So that project will be going with me to the LYS. Other than those three, I can’t decide what else to take with me. I could take the yarn and pattern for my simple and sleeveless top. Or the yarn and pattern for my Dolman sweater. Or my wool-ease so I can try my hand at those socks. Or maybe I’ll take all of them and decide while I’m there what to work on. Knowing me, I’ll take all three and not get started on any of them, because I’ll be too busy with the current 3 projects I’m trying to finish. But I would hate to finish one project and not have the stuff start another one.

I’ve already warned my SIL that I’ll probably be bringing a suitcase just for my knitting. LOL! Can you tell I’m looking forward to doing nothing but knitting and reading all week. Ok, so I’ll be doing some other things as well. My SIL said she wants to take me to her Scottish Dance class. That ought to be fun. We might get out and play some disc golf. She also mentioned that a friend of her would like to have a yarn night. Of course I told her I was definitely up for that, but oh, that’s knitting related. :P Hah! Oh well.

I probably won’t be posting much during the week. She has high-speed internet, but I’m not sure if I can hook up my computer to it, so pictures may be on hold till I get home on the 20th. I may jump on and post my progess though. I’m off to prepare for my week-long getaway!
