I can't believe another year had passed & it's time for our 4th Annual Retreat at the beautiful Avalon Homestead. This year we had 30 participants & we had a great time.
We started off with Show & Tell & the highlight was this machine knitted wedding dress which took our breath away ! There were so many FOs that every available space on this long table was filled ......
......there was a spindle spinning demonstration & I learnt Andean plying
...... a yarn & FO photography workshop & I took a great picture of my mittens in a light tent
...... a talk given by a Suri Alpaca breeder & then she gave us some tips on spinning the fiber
....... a weaving demonstration & we also had a chance to try it
It was a great weekend & we went home with so much knowledge & new skills & of course, some FOs !

I can see from the pictures what a wonderful time you all had. My words, your mittens look all Hollywood in the light box picture!!!
Wow, look at that wedding dress! Sounds like a great weekend. I think I'll have to get myself a light box - that's a great photo of your mitts.
Thank you for sharing your lovely event with us and all those beautiful photos. The wedding dress is gorgeours! How did you like weaving? I look forward to seeing your FOs.
What a lovely time, thanks for sharing it with all of us.
Looks like a great time. the wedding dress looks great. I machine knit so I know how much work must have gone into it.
