I've been back home for a week, now. And I'm s-l-o-w-l-y coming to grips with the fact that I'm not sitting around knitting with friends. . . outside in the sunshine. . . in the mountains.
With waitstaff bringing me Bloody Marys at noon.
So. Here's one last look at Utah . . . and the Alta Knitter's Retreat . . . through a Michigan-der's lens!
My knitting . . . at the beginning of the retreat. . .with a nice cup of tea!
The view from my room at Alta Lodge.
The "beach" . . . where knitters congregate to knit in the mountain air.
Bloody Marys at noon!
And my knitting . . . at the end of the retreat!
Nearly a whole sleeve . . . that will always remind me of a fabulous weekend in Utah.
A sleeve . . . with Alta. . .tude!
We miss the same things! This weekend I was bemoaning the lack of Bloody Mary's at noon. Suzy and I were talking about how much we miss the beach and our Alta-buddies, too. The golden leaves create a special magic around Alta Lodge and we're able to partake. Everyday I wish you and Carole were closer and could come on over for tea (or a glass of wine).

I got a lot of knitting done, too - almost all of the stockinette portion of my shawl. It will always make me think of you and Margene and our great time in Utah. I miss it all!

It really is nice to be spoiled for the weekend like that. Maybe there should be a spring retreat, too.

Oh! Look at all that knitting! Nice. What a perfect weekend...wouldn't it be a hoot if all of us "blogger friends" could get together sometime...

I finished my first Different Lines at Alta... gave it a bath in Margene's guest tub, blocked it out on the guest room floor, and tooke it up to Silver Lake for glamour shots! LOVE to remember all that fun wrapped up in one little project!!
It looks like you all had about as perfect a weather weekend as I did last year. Such a gorgeous place.

I'm sure my Jenny would be happy to bring you a Bloody Mary at any time of day. Of course, you may not want to trust her as bartender. ;^)
