Knitting at Sunpeaks

I had an amazing time at the Twist of Fate Fair Isle retreat. We spent an entire weekend hangout, knitting, eating and learning Fair Isle techniques.













Everyone got a swag bag with Erynn's logo on it and some yarn to make a fair isle sock project in it. We spent Saturday learning how to make a 'Goofy Bag' which is a great little project that taught all sorts of different fair isle techniques.













Oh, and I almost forgot the shopping! Twist of Fate, Wild Geese & Unwind Yarns were all represented. I bought 2 amazing skiens of 'Walk The Line' a new merino/cashmere/nylon blend. It is amazingly soft. I just love cashmere! I also bought some patterns and buttons.













I think everyone learned something, and we ended up with a cute little bag to show off our new skills:


It was a great weekend. It made me want to sign up for the Fall Spinning retreat even though I dont spin. I was sad to come home...
