The Third Annual Camas Creek Winter Retreat was great fun. We moved the venue to Kandahar Lodge on Big Mountain (or Whitefish Mountain Resort, if you must), and I think everyone agreed that it was a good change. The Lodge is quite welcoming and warm and I don't think I've ever slept in a more comfortable bed.

All of my classes went well. I had a great group of students—some old friends, some new ones—and my feeling was that everyone left having learned a lot of new skills to take their knitting to the next level. The Colorwork class was particularly fun for me as a teacher. We talked a lot about putting colors together (a weakness for me), and I was able to see what kinds of color choices other people make.

It occurred to me at the end of the retreat that this is the first time I've taught at an event like this where I didn't teach a single cabling class. And I still had a great time! It's nice to be able to branch out a bit.

Last week was an incredibly busy week. I am looking forward to being able to stay home this week and get some work done here in my office.
