Remember the TV show Fantasy Island? It was a place where clients would go to live out their dreams and fantasies. Everything they needed was provided. Usually, however, the plot unfolded to reveal that the fantasy had flaws, or was not what it was though to be.
I spent 3 fantastic days with my daughter and about 70 other knitters on a mountaintop in Little Switzerland, NC. This is the 10th year of the Spartanburg Knitting Guild's "Knit Away in the Mountains." From 12 or so local knitters who went up for a day and night of peace and quiet and knitting, the retreat has grown to 3 days and nights of yarn crawling, classes, an amazing fashion show, wonderful food, amazing door prizes and swag, laughing and learning with old and new friends from as far away as Mississippi and Ohio and Virginia! Mr. Roarke and Tattoo would be proud of the amazing Becky and how she has organized and planned this special fantasy for us- no cooking or carpools or cleaning or going to work, set in a lovely old lodge along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the opportunity to sit 'n knit 24/7- if your hands can manage it!
This is what we woke up to on Friday morning:
