Swing Knits® Weekend Retreat at Lonesome Stone Alpacas

August 15th-18th

Early arrival for a fabulous weekend!
(R to L)  Linda, co-owner of Lonesome Stone Alpacas,
Brigitte (moi), teacher, Connie, Yvonne, and LaDonna

Oh my goodness!  I don't know if it was knitting, eating, relaxing, learning, or laughter that came in that order for the entire experience of Lonesome Stone.  The photo above encompasses all six----and then some!
(We're doing this again next year!  Y'all come!)

Knitting. . . .

Jo, Dori, and Roxanne are working on Lesson One.

Connie and Patty are learning the basics of Swing-Knitting™.

Connie and Patty are learning the basics of Swing-Knitting™.

LaDonna and Darlene are concentrating too.

A little Red Velvet Cake for dessert.

Although it was chilly, we couldn't help
wanting to watch the alpacas graze while
we "grazed" also.

 Eating. . . .

Saturday was a magnificent day!  Linda's pasta salad was delicious!
(The others were inside filling their plates.)

Relaxing. . . .

Dori unwinds on the porch
from a delightful day of knitting.

LaDonna is enjoying the serenity of
watching the alpacas graze.

Learning. . . . 

This is a new color way for the
new yarn line.  Yummy!

Yvonne finished this Swing Knits®
Autumn Fusion Shawl in one week!

new color ways 

Laughter. . . .

Marv's Margeritas are "Marv"elous!

Linda, co-owner of Lonesome Stone
and the most hospitible hostess--ever! 

A little comic relief
from the concentration for Roxanne

                               Ahhhhh, and of course, the alpacas and a cat. . . .
