As I do each year around this time, I spent the weekend with knitters. As is also traditional, I suffered camnesia. 

I did manage to take a few pictures of Anne Hanson's blocking workshop, tho. 

Note that knitters will use any water holding vessel when the situation is dire.

Hanson herself, with towel. 

Barbara Parry blocking some antique Orenburg lace.

Mere words cannot explain how gorgeous this was in person. Here:

Swoon.

Like I said, knitters are resourceful.

A fine weekend, all the way around. Oh - and I might have spent some time doing something other than knitting at the knitting retreat....

(thanks for the loaner wheel, Anj....)

Now I just have to figure out how to ply. And how all of this spinnable fiber wound up on my printer.
