Va Spinning and Knitting Retreat

March has been a mad month after Feb vacations and my mother's cancer surgery and helping her find a senior complex. Packing and all the moving arrangements are time consuming and especially stressful doing it with my mother watching over me.

A shocking email reminder came today of this next week. April is already next week!!!! This was registered for way back in the fall by my sister and me. Am I crazy or what driving almost 7 hours for a fiber weekend?
2008 Spinners & Knitters Retreat April 4, 5, and 6 at Shrinemont Resort.

Arrive Friday afternoon/evening to check in and have dinner which will run from 5:30 until 7 pm to accommodate late arrivals.
After dinner we will meet in our assigned space, right now its looking like it will be the Hall House which is # 37 on the map below. We can bring our wheels and other fibery goodies it will be safe and sound when we are out and about.
We will meet after we eat and get to know one another as we do what we love to do best! Knit, spin, hook, and socialize with other like minded fiber people!
Friday Night Brown Bag Bazaar!
Saturday Morning is Breakfast at 8:30 and then off to our meeting Hall. We are fortunate to have Shelia Helsley back as our massage therapist and she can bring another massage therapist along to make sure everyone that wants a massage can have one! Have her do the whole 9 yards or work on those gnarly knitting hands and arms and shoulders! She is a delight and I'm sure you'll be pleased!
We are very pleased to announce that Sheila Mahone from
www.wool2dye4.com and http://wool2dye4.blogspot.com will be with us to set up shop Saturday morning! She will be bringing lots of yarn and fibers to dye for those of you who want to jump on in there & have a go at it!
Anyone who would like to teach a class no matter how informal please let me know. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. This is one laid back group! About 12:30 we'll have our lunch break.
After lunch back for more fibering.
Break for Dinner at 5:30
Saturday Night Stash Bash!!
Sunday Breakfast at 8:30 and then more fibering until lunchtime. After lunch, everyone say good bye to their new friends and old alike and plan to meet back here next year!
We are still lining up events and if there are any vendors who would like to participate please let us know! We will also have door prizes and other nifty stuff!
We are already accepting reservations on your rooms and it works great if you and a pal or pals can book together so we can get you into the same room or house
I have questions about this
See you all there!
