Post Retreat in Pictures...

I've finally crashed.
I get super excited for this retreat every year...(see the post from Friday Morning)
I knit late into the nights
Get up before anyone on vacation rightfully should (p.s. I'm not the only one who does this on the retreats)
Knit in my room till 5:30 a.m.
Wander into the main living room because the coffee has been put out by then, and talk with the other knitters who wake before the sun like moi.
Suck down more coffee than I probably should and settle in for a day of knitting broken up by wandering thru town looking for lunch, and then again for dinner.
So here are some photos I took with my phone around Langley and my knitting...

Leaving Mukilteo on the Ferry....this is the Mukilteo Lighthouse


Pretty pile of leaves on the sidewalk


the fall colors were in full glory around town...


I walked past this little deck alley when I was strolling thru town. I was completely alone on the street at this moment. I walked past, stopped, got my camera app ready, stepped backwards and as they were making their way towards me, I snapped the picture and it's possible I did a little run to get away, about a block later I looked back and one was peeking around the corner at me...


I didn't realize I had set my knitting across the table from me but there it was, we were having breakfast together.


The windstorm that came up. Blew a table and umbrella off the dining deck at the inn, flickered the lights a few times as well.


Morning sunrise after the storm. Taken from my little deck


Bumps tee sweater knit in Dream in color Cocoa Kiss


Sunday Sunrise...isn't this light beautiful?


A Little alone time knitting in my room, and yes that is Harry Potter on the TV.


Bumps Sleep sack...I knit on it a bit while waiting for the ferry back home.


And baby A's little Baby Gaga poncho took less than a day and is super adorable!

I always make sure I get the same room every year for the retreat. I love it. It has a little deck that looks out towards saratoga passage and camano island....The rest of the Inn is beautiful as well and so cozy.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
