Life has gotten a bit crazy lately. We’ve spent a lot of our non-working/sleeping time house hunting, and now we are in the throes of house buying, with all the paper gathering and emails and phone calls that entails. In the meantime, the kids still needed to eat and have clean clothes and get to track and Cub scouts and who knows what. Some balls have been dropped, and getting anything crafty done has been one of those balls.
But I did abandon my responsibilities last weekend for another trip to join my fibery friends. We rented a place through AirBnB and raced off through the rain storms to catch the ferry to Anderson Island for the weekend.
There was a lot of spinning on my part. I finished the blue two ply yarn in the pic below, and filled another bobbin with the third single I needed to make another yarn. I also worked on the I-cord edging on my Volt wrap.
There was also a lot of learning. Paige taught us all how to do two color brioche knitting, and Leslie 2 was quick enough at it to knit a shoulder wrap/cowl thing.
We also learned it takes a great deal of junk food (and pineapple cider) to fuel so much creative effort.
It was hard to leave and go back to the real world. But we had a satisfying pile of progress to show for it.

your spinning looks beautiful – I love the blues, it’s going to be the prettiest yarn. Having a crafty weekend away sounds pretty special too – and as we’re in the house buying and selling process too I know what you mean about needing a little break from it!
