30 Sleeps

Can you believe that it is just 30 sleeps until Camp?

The other night Beth (my sister) and I were out for dinner and started talking about Camp. We have the 'game' for Thursday night figured out. Somehow Fiona is positive her team is going to win this year. Her team has never won so I'm not sure why she thinks this year will be any different.

Then we got talking about Beth's dying workshops. My sister is going to help with these and said she was looking forward to dying yarn. She is going to do purple, teal and blue.

I'm not so sure about her colour choices so I found some suggestions on Design Seeds. There are great colour combinations.

These would look amazing in a skein of sock yarn.

If you are in the dying class take a look for some great colour inspiration. We'll call it homework. :)

Homework

I just sent out a newsletter to those attending Camp with their homework. Funny-the only teacher who had homework was Fiona.

I will be posting the homework here along with all the other information you will need for the weekend so don't worry if you aren't receiving the newsletters.

If this is your first year at Camp you might be wondering what other things there are to do at Bayview Wildwood. There are lots of walking trails. You will have time before class, after lunch and before dinner to go exploring.

For the less adventurous there are lots of places around the resort for you to put your feet up and knit.
