Color in Spinning and Knitting

Back in Sewanee with Lynne now... and it was a fantastic class/retreat/workshop weekend at The Red Rooster Retreat in Alabama. There were 10 students, 7 were from the workshop last year at Shakerag, so it was great to see old friends and meet some new ones.

Everyone learned something and loved it... no matter their experience in spinning and knitting. It was so great to be in a place where the classroom and sleeping rooms were in the same building... in fact, everything was in the same building...!
Lynne has such a wonderful gift as a teacher. She is so clear in her explanations and demonstrations, and so patient. Her classes at Harrisville and Michigan in August are full, but there is still some room in the class in Taos, NM in October... just before the Taos Wool Festival. http://www.taoswoolfestival.org

I had so much fun as an assistant/helper! got to spin and knit and learn some new knitting techniques, and just hang out with kindred spirits for 3 days! i'd do it again in a newyork minute. Am already missing my home tho, cause i know the flowers are just glorious and Jim is lonely there with just the dawgs (that gets old after a few days, i know from experience) and of course, i miss Meika and Tasha. But i am looking forward to 4th of July celebrations in Sewanee and then going to Knoxville to spend a few days with my sisters (the bio ones)... life is good!
