It seemed like this day would never come. The day I would return to a Men’s Knitting Retreat and be with my tribe. But everything seems to be a good omen. So far.

Please Let It Be A Good Omen

I honestly thought this day would never come. It seemed like I was going to have to wait until September before I would be amongst my men’s Knitting Retreat family.

Someone in a recent zoom meet up who is going to be at the retreat made a comment that surprised me. He said “I’ll believe it when I’m there.”  I knew what he meant exactly. COVID has taken a lot away from me. Including my optimism it seems.  It didn’t occur to me until he said it. But I really did have a bit of anxiety that something would happen that would prevent me from making it to the 2021 Men’s Spring Knitting Retreat.

So far, so good. All is packed. And I feel confident that I have remembered to bring the important stuff. We’ll see once I’ve gotten there. But I’m cautiously optimistic.

I’ll check in tomorrow (at the latest) to let you know I made it back to Xanadu.

Current Knitting

I finished the color work on the Provenance Mitts.

Now I just need to do the ribbing at the top and these beauties are ready for Show & Tell later this week.
