South Bay Knitters Retreat

This past weekend was the annual knitting retreat for the South Bay Knitters of Campbell, Ca. and, as usual, it was a great time.  We meet every year the weekend after New Year's and always at the same place - The Quaker Center in the Santa Cruz mountains.  It's just our kind of spot; deep in the woods where it is misty, cold and damp, lots of moss all over the place, tall windows to take in the view and a roaring fire in the stove -- what more could a knitter ask for!  It's a great chance to visit with friends and admire their work. 

                                                                         

Here's Barbara with her Clapotis:

  1. I am SOOO envious. One of these days (probably not until after Justin graduates from high school) I will go.

    Let me know if you're still in the area -- coffee tomorrow?
