I’m back, I’m behind, and I’m barely awake. You don’t care about that though. You want a report.
After an early flight and a long wait for the shuttle we arrived to this..
so many knitters that they ran out of chairs! Just imagine the looks of the regular folks walking in to the hotel and catching sight of us.
For the rest of the day there was lots of meeting new people, knitting, chatting, and lastly a dessert buffet.
Friday morning I was with the first group headed off to Loopy Central. Look at all those happy faces.
It was all a bit much to take in but everyone recovered quickly.
Soon yarn, bags, and patterns were making their way into our new loopy shopping bags and the line was getting longer.
The wonderfully organized Sherri let us put our bags in line and sit and knit until our turn to check out.
You’ll have wait until my bags are unpacked to see what I came home with though. I
After lunch the lovely Adrienne was offering spinning lessons in the lounge and I finally succumbed and gave it a try.
It’s not pretty, but I made it. Unfortunately I’m beginning to see the appeal to the whole spinning thing. Although I’m kind of hoping I’ll forget all about it and go back to my knitting. I don’t need a new hobby or more yarn!
My day ended with some great BBQ ribs and fun ladies.
The rest of the story will have to wait until I get the laundry done and some food in the house. For some reason being naked and hungry does not appeal to my family.
I'm starting to put all this together...Loopy Ewe is less than 12 miles from my in-laws. My in-laws that we visit at least once a year. I think I see a field trip coming on!
Looks like the Fling was a blast. Looking forward to seeing your treasures!
