Knitting Retreat Weekend...
Our hostess, Jeanette, owns and operates Soo Nipi Lodge. Once a dairy barn, after a 2 year renovation, it can now house up to 20 quests. Accomodations include a Spa/Workout Gym and all amenities for a wonderous mountain stay.
We shared all meals and activities in the main room and sunroom...lots of space and sunshine, when it shows itself!!
New friends abound...this will be an annual event PP will partake in for many years to come!!
We went on a "Field Trip" to Hodge Podge Fiber and Yarn Shop in downtown Newport. Sue's shop is almost as comfortable as AKG! Just kidding...MUCH more yarn and notions but the SAME warm and cozy feelings as AKG...Loved every minute of being there and can't wait to return!! Thank you Sue for your hospitality.
This was the best weekend away I have had in ages!! 6 knitters from Purling Petals, 3knitters from Ravel Rousers and 8 other knitters from MA, NH, Conn and ME. We had a ball. Great food, wonderful accommodations, beautiful scenery.....knitters are the best!!! We discovered lots of "Kindred Spirits" on this yarn crawl!!
