They're Coming Back

Josh Bennett,

Fiona Ellis,

and Beth Casey will be with us in September for Camp. We had such a great time with them last year that it was an easy decision to invite them back.

The brochure is almost done. There is a spelling mistake that needs to be fixed and then we will be sending it out.

Dalia B.

Beth Casey from Lorna's Laces was with us for Camp teaching a class on dying yarns.

On Saturday evening we laid out all the skeins that were dyed during the weekend. Everyone attending Camp voted on their favourite. Dalia's won.

The fine folks at Lorna's Laces are dying us Shepherd Sock, Solemate and Helen's Lace in the special colour Dalia B. We will have this in the store in a couple of weeks.

Beth having fun dying the yarn.

Beth will be with us for Camp 2013. I'm going to take her class and make pretty string.

Camp 2013

The dates are set for 2013.

Thursday September 19-Sunday September 22

Watch for the brochure!!

Thank You

The Campers signed Thank You cards to our suppliers who generously donated for the goodie bags and door prizes. Today I am addressing the envelopes and getting them in the mail.

The Canadian Suppliers are next.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!

Gold for Team FE

During Fiona's colour class on Saturday she talked about an article she wrote for Twist Collective about purple. Here is the link to the article...

Fiona also included some pictures she took at Camp.

There seems to be a few pictures from the Thursday evening game. I guess Fiona wants me to talk about the game and really wants me to tell everyone who the winner was.

The Campers were divided up into three teams-BC (Beth Casey), JB (Josh Bennett) and FE (Fiona Ellis).

We played Knit or Knowledge. There were parts of the game when the Campers had to work with yarn and needles and there were other parts where they had to answer knitting related questions.

For much of the evening Team JB was in the lead but at the end Team FE pulled out the win. This is a big deal because Team FE hasn't won in a few years.

For the rest of the weekend Fiona made sure that everyone remembered which team won.

They look so innocent. :)

I Miss Camp!

Beth's dyeing class.

Thank you to everyone who made Camp an amazing weekend.

-our teachers Josh, Beth and Fiona
-the students
-Beth and Cathy for all their help
-my suppliers for their donations

Over the next few weeks I will share pictures that I took. I need a couple of days to go through them and figure out which I can share and which will be used for blackmail. :) If you have pictures you would like to share, please email them to me.

Josh and Beth made it home safely. I hope your trip home went well as well.

I have not heard from Betty Lou yet. I sent an email this morning and hope to have news for you soon.

It was a tough day at my house. No one had the meals ready for me. I had to make my own bed. There was a lot of noise-not quiet like being at the lake. I miss Camp already.

Pack a Sweater or Two

I looked up the weather forecast for the weekend. Yes, it does say rain for Friday. Hopefully it will be first thing in the morning and we will have a nice afternoon.

I'm excited that we are going to have sweater weather!!
