Knit Camp!
Knit Camp was just absolutely wonderful.
What's not to enjoy?
Scenery like this.
Wildlife.
We only got a quick glimpse of this little wallaby when we arrived, though.
Great company! In attendance (amongst others) were myself, Ailsa, Sharon, RoseRed, Bells, KMS, Anne and Donni.
Ailsa and RoseRed, at the bush chapel.
Mel, and her dyeing.
Anne, and the hat made from the yarn she'd dyed on the Saturday.
Bells, and her famous steeked jacket.
Sharon and Zena, doing what we spent most of the weekend doing.
There was alcohol, there was food, there was knitting, and much hilarity. Some of what happens at Knit Camp must stay at Knit Camp, although I have some pretty good photographic evidence of hijinx which shall not be made public.
And the knitting. Well, lets just say that I went to Knit Camp, and I came home minus one sweater.
Damn Wicked and stupid dyelots.
After much discussion, it was decided that I wouldn't be able to live with it.
Thank heavens I didn't only go to camp for the knitting!

It looks like it was such a fun weekend (except for the whole sweater thing).
Posted by: sprite at June 30, 2008 11:49 PMYeah, that's too much difference in color to keep on going. Too bad.
Posted by: Wool Winder at July 1, 2008 12:08 AMPoor poor Wicked. But for a knitting rockstar like you it shouldn't take you too long to re-do!!
(ZOMG! LOL! BBQ!!!) (WMLx10!)
Posted by: Rose Red at July 1, 2008 12:26 AMOh it was great. You said it all. How's the rockstar status going at home?
Posted by: Bells at July 1, 2008 09:39 AMOh it was great. You said it all. How's the rockstar status going at home?
Posted by: Bells at July 1, 2008 09:39 AMI'm glad you had a great time. I am counting down the days till my knitting camp.
Too bad about Wicked but I am sure the finished sweater will be worth the re-knit.
Love the camp pictures. I usually forget to take pictures except at the fashion show that happens at the one I go to. And then I usually only get picks of my items as I don't see them modeled that often.
Posted by: Suzanne at July 1, 2008 10:25 AMThank you for the virtual Camp!! Everyone looks very happy and knitty!! Bah Humbug about the dyelots, I couldn't live with it either....
Posted by: 2paw at July 1, 2008 11:54 AMBad Bad Wicked dyelots.
I wanna go on knitting camp.
When and where is the next one? Tell me all.
Posted by: Carol at July 1, 2008 12:48 PMOh I had a cruel kind of 'train wreck' fascination watching you frog and frog and frog but shivers of horror after you were done and couldn't work out which ball was the dark one! eeeek!! :-) Stripes
Posted by: thestripeytiger at July 1, 2008 08:25 PMI only managed to knit half a sock at our knitting retreat but it was still the greatest weekend that I ever had. Sorry to hear about Wicked but I am sure you will have it knitted up again in no time. Happy knitting.
