Kripalu Weekend

what a fantastic weekend! And once again, the very best part of a knitting get away is NOT the knitting. (although, the knitting was great) The absolute very best part each and every time is the wonderful people I meet. This was a group of vibrant, eclectic, and funny women – actually there was one man too! After the techniques were taught, everyone started knitting and chatting and laughing and knitting some more. It never stopped – one lady even tried to take her knitting into the sauna!

I think this weekend is best summed up in the pictures I took ….. let’s start with

a goddess:

I realize that will completely lose the sympathy of anyone who reads this site when I tell them this:

I am going away again this weekend. Yes, another R&R weekend. Yes, I just had one last weekend. And yes, I hardly need them considering what an enchanted life I lead to begin with.

This time, I am heading to the Bershires to the Kripalu center for a weekend of yoga and knitting.

I am going with my good friend Ricki and we will hit the road the minute we put all the kids on the bus tomorrow morning. I will have lots to share when I get back – must remember to pack the camera.

Today I will be working at Granny’s. I will be slaving away with Kathleen. No doubt we will be having lots of laughs. I have been enjoying this job, although it is probably not a good sign to show up at work with a shopping list! In addition to getting an employee’s discount, NY State has a no tax week at the moment and it extends to yarn! It is only fiscal responsibility that is driving my purchases …. I will be saving money. The term for spending money in order to save money is spave.

I shall be spaving all over the place today.

The Woolee Winder

I am in love with this thing. Check out how much more even my spinning has become. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am – I don’t even want to blog, I want to spin! If I haven’t left you a comment, it’s because I’m spinning – not skimming, spinning.
