I attended the Into the Woods Fiber Retreat hosted by Dana and Brittany of the Just One More Row podcast (Dana is also the genius behind Unwind Yarn Company found at www.unwindyarncompany.bigcartel.com) and Jessica of Storied Yarns (who is sadly no longer dying yarn).
The retreat was held at Lake Frances Retreat in Crossville, TN. Its a serene place out in the woods that is more accustomed to hosting teenage gymnasts, but they handled us well. The atmosphere was comfortable and the food was lovely. The place was magically peaceful until it was taken over by almost 100 knitter who had way too much fun and while the weather was uncooperative and cold it gave us all opportunity to show off our beautiful knits.
I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was having too much fun to bother! Shame on me I know. I loved making new friends and visiting with old friends. I especially loved meeting a couple of Ravelry friends in person. Juliper and Tiggrgirl I love you two!
I don't pack light!

My absolutely favorite photo from the retreat. Loved that we got photobombed!!!
New friends and old.
Marian was generous with her wine.
Loved Vanessa's magic cake ball shawl!
We found Julie! She'd been hiding from us in plain sight.
If you have the opportunity to attend a retreat. Do it. If you want to enjoy one in the woods of Tennessee, join us next September 2015 for Into the Wool!!!!!!!
Glad you had fun! Looks like a blast :) Lorraine
