Hello all,

I started the month of February with 2 retreats in a row. Last week I went to a crochet and knitting retreat (ok most ladies at the retreat would call it a knitting and crocheting retreat). The name of the retreat was "Fiber Fun in the 'Sip Retreat" at Tara Wildlife in Vicksburg, MS. I went with my sister-in-law Katie. We had a great time. The retreat covered everything, lodging, food (which was awesome), and 1 class. I went with one goal, to start and finish an afghan. I did it. I finished a corner to corner afghan using Caron's Chunky Cakes yarn, Ballet Sorbet. Katie and I both participated in the dinner entertainment on Saturday. We had a murder mystery. Both Katie and I were "murdered". It was a lot of fun. I am planning on going again next year.

I also took a crochet class that was being taught by Dawn from Dawn O Designs. The class was crocheting a shawl. Below is my progress, I am about halfway through the pattern. It was a lot of fun.

We were supposed to go on an airbus ride around the area but the water level was too high. So to fill the time we had a knitting competition to see who knitted the fasted. I didn't participate because I am a very slow knitter. We also had a crocheting competition. I did participate. I won!! I beat Katie by 1 stitch. Whoo hoo!

Tonight, after I leave class, I'm picking my sister Bridget up and we are head to Orange Beach, AL for a cross stitch retreat with Katrina Boyd. My sister Jennifer and our friend Lisha are already there. I can't wait. I'm bringing all twenty-something of my WiPs with me. I will work on all of them this weekend. I will post pictures when I get back. But you can look at my posts throughout the weekend on Instagram. 28 minutes before class is over. I can't wait. Well got to go, I need to review a test with a student.
Thanks for stopping by,
Sharon
