Okay, I can finally announce the big news...

We're hosting a knitting retreat!

Come join us Oct 5-7 at Drummond Island Resort.

Gwen Bortner, of Knitability, will be joining us teaching workshops all weekend. She's a fantastic instructor who can be found all over the country teaching at big knitting events like Stitches. I'm so pleased she agreed to join us this weekend. I've chosen workshops for the weekend that I think are a nice blend of fun & informational.

(In particular I'm looking forward to the Kumihimo braiding workshop on Friday. I'm knitting a sweater that a matching Frog closure would be stunning!)

So, please download our brochure & registration information. Things are shaping up to be a very interesting weekend.

Now wait... there's more!

I can announce this now too since the family's all been notified...

I'm getting a puppy! A super cute little mostly Sable Sheltie pup. I think I get to pick him up next Friday (he's already 12 weeks, but I need some prep time before he comes home!). I got to meet him this morning & you know those puppy eyes just make your heart melt. I couldn't even think straight enough to pull my camera out (I'm sure I'll more than make up for that in the next few weeks).

However, he looks like his Dad. His parents were both bred at Baker Park Shelties. His Dad is in the last two pictures on the bottom of the page (Cody the Great).

So, tonight I'm heading over to Pet Co with more of my birthday money to get things for little Christopher Robin.
