On Saturday, Janice & I headed out of our mountains and a little north of here to Graves Mountain Lodge to meet up with some plurk/Ravelry/ Facebook knitting friends from other parts of Virginia and North Carolina. Here's what we saw as soon as we got out of the car.
We met up with knitting friends, Lara, Summer, and Julie- even though we didn't know them, we recognized them by their hand-knits! We knitted for a bit, then were found by Frances and L-B, and then by Wendy, Aimee, and Dani. There was a little more knitting and then lunch-where even more knitters showed up!
Right after lunch, we hit the road for a trip out to Kid Hollow Farm -
where Pat and Steve graciously opened their studio doors so we could fondle a little yarn
and more yarn
and more yarn
and more yarn....who's that?
-and then they introduced us to their herd, a.k.a. "yarn on the hoof". :)
It was good day and good to put names to faces and get to know folks a little better, but our knitting time together was all too short...here's hoping for another chance for more gatherings of knitters in the near future!

Everything looks so wonderful. I bet you had a great time.
It looks like you had a great time. I am jealous. ;) And is that L-B hiding there?
Cutie alpaca! I loved the trip to Kid Hollow except for the car ride!
