Homework

Tomorrow I leave for a four day knitting retreat and workshop at Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge on Quadra Island. The workshops include such topics as finishing techniques and making perfect seams. Friday is devoted to working with luxury yarns - silk, cotton, alpaca, camel, dog.... I suppose it is possible, I'll be the only participant with dog.

Just over a week ago a big package of yarn arrived in the mail. It was our homework -15 or more squares need to be knit before we arrive. I was delighted. I knew I'd love this homework and envisioned all my co-ordinated, neatly pressed and labeled squares being packed and ready to go.

It is 11:00 PM. I have not started packing. My squares are neither labelled, pressed or even finished. I am in fact feeling a wee bit frazzled. But I just sat down a re-read the handout that came with the homework.

"Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge http://www.capemudgeresort.bc.ca/ is a magical place where legends live in a land of salmon, eagles, killer whales, soaring mountain peaks, swirling tidal waters and lush evergreen forests. The rooms feature ocean views of the Discovery Passage and there is a sauna and hot tub. "

And my schedule for tomorrow. "Check-in, check out the lodge, meet people, knit, dinner, knit."
It sounds heavenly doesn't it.

Pictures next week......
