A year’s worth of fiber

OH I am tired. So tired. This weekend was so fun and so…um…expensive. But fun! And that’s what counts.

My condo is clean, my yarn is plied, my knitting bag is packed, there’s a pan of brownies cooling on the counter, and a Birmingham knitter snoring softly on the other side of my couch. Except for my clothes not being packed yet…I AM READY!

I’m going here.

you’re fired

I was “fired” about 30 times this past weekend. Really, it wasn’t my fault.

Grace was running late to pick me up on Thursday, so we ended up at Jen‘s a little later than intended. After a quick meet & greet with some llamas, goats, and sheep (a warm up, if you will) we were on our way. Soon we were winding our way through the back-country highways of north carolina, enjoying gorgeous autumn mountain views of such spectacular quality that I was literally dazzled to the point of which I forgot to take pictures. This is also a common theme for the weekend. We finally arrived in Asheville and tried to make sense of a small map and some confusing city streets. Eventually we found our way to the restaurant and the rest of our cozy little group where we enjoyed a very delicious dinner. Back at the hotel, we spent the rest of the evening enjoying wine and my homemade chocolate crack cookies.
