So are we all. --James Baldwin </div><div><br /></div><div>That about sums up 2020, yes? Many of us have certainly discovered what we are made of this year. Whether it was figuring out how to homeschool the kiddies when you aren't a teacher, how to work and homeschool simultaneously, learning to live at home with all adults working from various spaces, to live without seeing family and friends, changing up your whole life to fit into a quarantine. Perhaps jobs were lost. Perhaps homes were lost. Perhaps lives were lost. </div><div><br /></div><div>While so many struggles this year have seemed insurmountable, I am choosing to believe that this year is teaching me--resilience, patience, contentment. I am also choosing to believe that this year has shown us that humanity exists, people are mostly good and community is critically important. How we show up for each other will help keep us going. I am choosing to believe these things because I must. I know them to be true and I have seen them in a million tiny gestures and words. </div><div><br /></div><div>You have shown up for me big time. I am eternally grateful for the support you have shown me and PeaceTree Fiber Adventures. You can imagine the horror of taking over a business that was almost immediately not viable in it's current state. I had no option but to persevere and do what I could to survive in my little corner of this community. I appreciate and thank you for coming along on this wild ride! I am so hopeful for 2021! </div><div><br /></div><div>My promise to all is to continue to welcome you, expand to nurture you and your creativity, explore to create a diverse community for us to grow within, to learn from you and with you and to always give back. </div><div><br /></div><div>I wish you all a happy, healthy and joyous New Year!</div><div><br /></div><div>In 2021 we welcome you to the following events: </div><div>Jan 22-24--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/january-virtual-classes" target="_blank">Virtual Knitting and Yoga Retreat</a> with <a href="https://www.nelkindesigns.com/" target="_blank">Laura Nelkin</a> and <a href="https://saltandstoneknits.com/" target="_blank">Mieka John</a>, sponsored by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/moss.fibers/">Moss Fibers </a></div><div>Feb 19-21--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/february-virtual-classes" target="_blank">Virtual Knitting and Yoga Retreat</a> with <a href="https://www.tanisknits.com/" target="_blank">Tanis Gray</a> and <a href="https://www.deviousknitter.com/" target="_blank">Amy Snell</a> </div><div>March 19-21--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/march-virtual-classes">Virtual Knitting, Crochet and Yoga Retreat</a> with <a href="https://www.bypollevie.com/" target="_blank">Ellen Deckers</a> and <a href="https://www.shainabilow.com/" target="_blank">Shaina Bilow</a></div><div>April 15-18--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/cape-ann-retreat" target="_blank">Knitting by the Sea in Cape Ann MA</a>, instructor TBD (Fingers Crossed!) </div><div>May 13-16--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/knit-niagara-falls">Knit Niagara Falls</a> with <a href="http://norahgaughan.net/">Norah Gaughan</a> (Fingers Crossed!) </div><div>Sept 2-5--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/knit-maine" target="_blank">KnitMaine 2021</a> at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Deer Isle ME </div><div>Nov 4-7--<a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/quechee-retreat">Knitting in the Mountains of Vermont</a> with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alisongrnknits/" target="_blank">Alison Green</a>, Quechee VT </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/shop%2Fretreats%2Fclasses" target="_blank">Registration for all events is open! </a></div><div><br /></div><div>January includes classes: </div><div>Beading 101 and Side to Side Sweater Construction with Laura Nelkin </div><div>Snip your Knits with Confidence: Steeking and Thrumming 101: Cozy Mittens with Mieka John </div><div>Meet the Maker with our featured dyer, Gabriella from Moss Fibers.

It has been a minute since we last visited and the world is still so unstable for so many reasons.<br /><br />Our Fall 2020 retreats are still on as of now--we will keep you posted as time goes on. What I do know is that the Instructors for <a data-cke-saved-href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/way-up-maine-retreat" href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/way-up-maine-retreat" target="_blank">Way Up Maine</a> (<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.instagram.com/bayronhandmade/" href="https://www.instagram.com/bayronhandmade/" target="_blank">Denise Bayron</a> + <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.instagram.com/bayronhandmade/" href="https://www.instagram.com/bayronhandmade/" target="_blank">Kristin Drysdale</a>), <a data-cke-saved-href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/quechee-retreat" href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/quechee-retreat" target="_blank">Quechee VT</a> (<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.instagram.com/lyricalknits/" href="https://www.instagram.com/lyricalknits/" target="_blank">Mary Annarella</a>) and <a data-cke-saved-href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/cape-ann-retreat" href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/cape-ann-retreat" target="_blank">Cape Ann Fall Edition</a> (<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.instagram.com/brooklynboyknits/" href="https://www.instagram.com/brooklynboyknits/" target="_blank">Louis Boria</a>) have all agreed to teach virtually if we are unable to meet in person. More on that as time goes on and decisions are made. Something to look forward to regardless!<br /><br />To that end, I thought to myself "Why not start virtual classes now?" Let's do the hokey pokey and turn ourselves around! I am thrilled to announce the beginning of our Virtual Knitting World Tour! <br /><br /><strong>Kicking off June 26th we begin our "Greetings From" Series featuring:<br />Greetings From Maine with <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.instagram.com/aliciaplums/" href="https://www.instagram.com/aliciaplums/" target="_blank">Alicia Plummer</a><br />Greetings From Edmonton with <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.instagram.com/rhyflowerknits/" href="https://www.instagram.com/rhyflowerknits/" target="_blank">Melinda Measor</a></strong><br /><br />Alicia will be teaching a class on her beautiful sweater, <img align="right" data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/185d4a82c1d7d612661a09b58/images/ac8843e8-bd30-422f-860a-90555f36ace5.jpg" data-file-id="5625922" height="100" src="https://mcusercontent.com/185d4a82c1d7d612661a09b58/images/ac8843e8-bd30-422f-860a-90555f36ace5.jpg" style="border: 5px; height: 100px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; width: 100px;" width="100" /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/campside-drop" href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/campside-drop" target="_blank">Campside Drop</a>, full of instruction, tips and techniques. Class attendees will recieve a copy of the pattern. Her second class is a lecture explaining and demonstrating live how wool gets from "Sheep to Sweater". <br /><br /><img align="left" data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/185d4a82c1d7d612661a09b58/images/c572864f-4522-4ac3-a70c-72f73d4b2ede.jpg" data-file-id="5625914" height="100" src="https://mcusercontent.com/185d4a82c1d7d612661a09b58/images/c572864f-4522-4ac3-a70c-72f73d4b2ede.jpg" style="height: 100px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; width: 100px;" width="100" />Melinda will be teaching a Sock FUNdamentals class increase your confidence to embrace sock knitting. Her second class features "Breaking the Mold" when it comes to sock patterns. Learn to make the necessary modifications for toe up or cuff down, regardless of how the pattern is written. <br /><br />All details are on our <a data-cke-saved-href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/" href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a data-cke-saved-href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/shop" href="https://peacetreefiberadventures.com/shop" target="_blank">registration</a> for class is OPEN! Stay tuned as more classes will be added. We are hoping to add a little Yoga on to the ends of our classes to help recover from the 2 hours of Zoom. Give our neck and shoulders a little love!<br /><br />As we move forward with whatever the world brings, I am committed personally and professionally to stand with and for our BIPOC friends. I pledge here and now to donate a portion of our proceeds for the remainder of the year to various racial justice organizations beginning with <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.blackvisionsmn.org/" href="https://www.blackvisionsmn.org/" target="_blank">Black Visions Collective</a>. <br /><br />I hope to see you soon whether we are ZOOMing or in person! <br /><br />Until then.....<br /><br />Peace, <br />Christine<br data-cke-eol="1" />Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00602038714205073769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933752043827429511.post-34926587331539663172020-03-11T13:23:00.000-04:002020-03-11T13:23:28.062-04:00March 2020 Newsletter<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<br />
It is in fact Groundhog Day as I write this--and apparently the little guy did whatever he does that indicates 6 more weeks of winter. Boo hiss! It is snowing outside my window now so I guess that's true.<br />
<br />
If you've been over on Social Media, you know I introduced the PeaceTree Fiber Adventures new logo. I love it to pieces! My best friend drew it for me, making it even more special. Looking forward to growing this brand and living the theme that everything grows from a place of Peace. If you haven't seen it, zip on over to our Knitting and Yoga Adventures Facebook page or @knittingyogi on Instagram to read the post.<br />

Registration for all 2020 Retreats is in full swing. Cape Ann is full, Vermont has 6 spots open and Knit Maine (being a much larger event) still has plenty of room. What is interesting to me in receiving all of the registrations and questions is the vast array of people interested in attending. From beginners to advanced knitters, younger and older, from all over the US, attending with friends or attending solo--it's fantastic! All of these people trying to carve a weekend out that is just for them--I am all about time for self-care!<br />
<br />
In answering the question about "is there something for me?" at the retreats around emerging, beginner knitters--the answer is a resounding "Yes"! At Knit Maine, there are lots of choices for learning, building on and improving skills. At Cape Ann and Vermont, we have a wide range of skill levels in our participants but the projects are always do-able. What's even better still is that the more advanced knitters are always willing to help those who need it, during class and in the evenings when we are just hanging out together with our projects.<br />
<br />
Looking back over the years when I first started attending these retreats, I realized that my skill level has really sky-rocketed. Much more than had I been on my own, I'm sure of it. The exposure to the amazing instructors that we bring in and the people that you meet, gives you so much confidence and the guts to try something new. To name a few, I've learned color-work and stranded knitting with 2 and 3 colors, a bit of design, shawl designs, fancy schmancy mittens and I learned something that I hadn't known about myself--I can learn and execute complicated cast-ons like it's my job. Who knew??<br />

<br />
Don't let your abilities, or perceived lack there of, keep you from attending. Instead consider this the perfect opportunity to dig deep into your awesome hobby and take it to the next level. For the more advanced knitters, there is always more to learn and even the most seasoned knitters will have a moment of "Wow. That's a great way to do that!".<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing you soon! Please feel free to keep the questions coming.<br />

Peace,<br />

<br />
I hope this post finds you well and recovering from the holidays. This is the weirdest time of the year when no one knows what day it is or where we are supposed to be. I had no idea the kids were off of school the entire week after New Year's Day and tried to convince my daughter she had to go to school on Jan 2. I am NOT the Mom who knows what is going on!<br />
<br />
Which brings me to my topic of this post--self care. What do you do for yourself? How do you care for you? As adult humans, we have so much on our plates. Work, Kids, Parents, Homes etc etc. The list goes on and on. When is there time for us? That is what drew me to these retreats in the first place. It was high time to put the focus on me for a hot minute. I had just started Knitting seriously, as opposed to dabbling in it, and a weekend in Vermont knitting and doing yoga felt like just the ticket.<br />

I grabbed my friend Ann and off we went! Best decision ever. Within just a few hours of being there, we met 20ish other women who were taking care of themselves too. Everyone was from different places, at different stages in life, had different reasons for being there but we all love to knit. We chatted, learned from one another, laughed together. A real sense of community.<br />
<br />
Knitting has brought more to my life than I could ever have imagined. Through knitting retreats I have met the most amazing bunch of people, I have improved my skills by leaps and bounds, I have seen new places and experienced new things. I have started a new career! I have cared for me. My grandmother, who taught me to knit, believed that knitting and crafting in general, was the key to keeping your mind sharp. If you asked her why she crafted so much that would have been her answer. I think we can all agree that while this is true, the real answer is that it keeps us grounded in community through a shared love of fiber. It helps us care for ourselves. On a side note, my grandmother would have been 96 today.<br />

My tagline for this venture has been--"The best time of the year. Your time." I think this is so true and valid. These retreats are so nurturing to the soul. Relax, recharge, learn. It makes me a better person in the rest of my life. Most of us have spent a lot of our lives being spouses, raising kids, taking care of others, working and now it's our time. Even for just a long weekend!<br />

I hope this holiday season finds you well and just the right amount of "whelmed". I try so hard not to become overwhelmed but it's an uphill battle every year! I have delighted in getting about 90% of my shopping done from my couch this weekend. Bless you Internet.<br />
<br />
Not to rush things along, but I am so anxious for 2020 to get here--bringing us that much closer to Retreat time! Let me brief you on 2020....<br />

She is informative, clear and oh-so-very patient. She was the last to bed each night as she made sure each of her students was on a good path in their knitting project. </div>

Our last dinner was a lovely affair honoring Lisa Evans and all she has done for the many, many people who have taken the time to travel with the Knitting Yogi. We had a champagne toast, scrumptious dinner, lovely words, and more than a few tears and hugs. We wish Lisa the best in her future endeavors! We are thrilled that she will be joining us at Knit Maine next September. </div>

We have some housekeeping matters to discuss-- We have a brand new beautiful website! <b>The website address <a href="http://www.knittingandyogaadventures.com/">www.knittingandyogaadventures.com</a> remains the same but will be directed to the new site. </b>When this happens, you will see a new name in the browser address bar.

With this new site, you will start to see a new name attached. We are still Knitting and Yoga Adventures (K&YA) but my spin on the name will include "PeaceTree". For those of you who have met me personally, you may know I have a tattoo of a Peace Sign with the Tree of Life coming out of it. That holds significant meaning for me--everything grows from a place of Peace. The new name and logo will incorporate that. </div>

The new website address is <a href="http://www.peacetreefiberadventures.com/">www.peacetreefiberadventures.com</a> if you want to add a bookmark but again, the usual web address still works and gets you where you need to go. </div>

All registrations for upcoming retreats will be done from the new site. </div>

<b>If you check out the new site--all of the Knit Maine instructors are listed!!</b> Mark your calendars--the classes will be announced before Jan 1. It will be an incredible weekend!</div>

Cape Ann Registration opens soon! I will send out an email to subscribers for the inside scoop on that. Have you seen Denise Bayron's new pattern? The <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/moving-forward-wrap" target="_blank">Moving Forward Wrap</a>--how apropos for her to be our Instructor in April. It's all about moving forward now. </div>

As we finish out the 2019 retreat season in Quechee VT, we will celebrate with Lisa Evans as she leads her last retreat as the head of Knitting and Yoga Adventures. I am so thankful that Lisa will be around to help me take K&YA into next year and, have no fear, you will see her again at Knit Maine!<br />
<br />
As we continue our transition, I am thrilled to announce that <b>Cape Ann 2020</b> in Rockport MA will be <b><u>open for Registration, early Dec 2019</u></b> ( a departure from our usual Jan 1 date). We will be taking over 2 buildings at the <a href="http://www.yankeeclipperinn.com/" target="_blank">Yankee Clipper Inn</a> and have exclusive use of the property.

I am thrilled, elated, over the moon to announce our Cape Ann instructor--Denise Bayron of Bayron Handmade! Denise has many talents and will be sharing techniques from her most popular knitting patterns in our class time. Give <a href="http://www.bayronhandmade.com/" target="_blank">Bayron Handmade </a>a look to learn more about Denise and her passions.<br />
<br />
Denise's many accomplishments include pattern mentions in the New Yorker and her Grace Pullover was published in the April issue of Laine Magazine. Her CardiZen was nominated in the Mason Dixon Knitting Bracket, Cardigan category. She also has a pattern, Indoorsy Tunic, featured in the upcoming issue of Making Magazine, #8 Forest. She is currently teaching at Vogue Knitting Live in Austin and New York. You can also find her on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bayronhandmade/" target="_blank">@BayronHandmade</a>.<br />
<br />
She and I have gotten to know each other over the last few weeks--she is lovely and wonderful and I am so happy she is joining us! There will be something for everyone in Denise's lessons. She believes making your own clothing is an empowering practice, one in which you can make affordable, durable garments. Denise's design aesthetic lives at the intersection of innovative making and sustainable fashion. It is her hope that her patterns enable you to create garments that make you feel confident and are comfortable to wear. I think we can all get on board with that!<br />

What a Year!</h2>
<div>
Hello Friends!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Christine here. It's been a pretty big year so far. I turned 50 and my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. One kid moved away, one kid is studying abroad and one kid is the only kid left in the house. So. Much. Change.<br />

The good thing about turning 50--I felt like a switch was flipped. I felt like I was finally becoming the version of me that I wanted all along. No longer all wife or all mother, free to explore the things that I loved to do. More importantly, I began to realize the importance of self care and building my tribe. It is my turn now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few years ago, I began attending the Quechee Vermont retreats. The women, the Inn, the food, the YARN. Scrumptious. Vermont--you had me at Hello! That first retreat cemented my love of fiber, obsession with knitting and my desire to find a way to make this my job. I just kept noodling the idea around in my head. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fast forward 4 years and here we are. I am taking Knitting and Yoga Adventures into the future! I can't believe this is my life now. I cannot begin to express how much the connections I have made over the years, through the retreats, have stuck with me and influenced my life. My tribe is firmly in place and they are awesome. Let's build it up even more, together. There is lots of room here!</div>

I look forward to being with all of you in the upcoming retreats. For 2020, we have the Cape Ann MA Retreat in April, KNIT MAINE in September and Quechee Vermont in November.

<h4>
<i>This is what I would call a 'watershed moment.' </i></h4>
For those who are unfamiliar with that phrase it is a time of significant directional change. Like when one graduates from college and begins their adult life in earnest. This isn't entirely unexpected as I have been considering it for a number of years but 2020 will mark the beginning of my full time commitment to my work as a ceramic artist. <i>And isn't it interesting that 'Watershed' is the name of the center where I fire my work?</i><br />
<br />
2019 will be the last year I lead retreats for <i>Knitting & Yoga Adventures, Inc.</i> So now's your chance if you're on the fence, there are only two trips remaining and both have space available!<br />

Spring is officially here but it takes its time in Maine. While we wait for Mother Nature to fully wake up there are a few sure signs of Spring in Maine... honking geese heading north, greener mosses and very welcome early morning sunshine. A boring lull in the Farmer's Market as we wait for better things to come like fiddleheads, ramps and asparagus (!). And the calendar seems to be exploding with Spring cleaning chores, graduations and kiln firings.<br />
<br />
Not to rush all the wonderful-ness of Spring, but it's time to think ahead. <b><i>Only a few spot remain for:</i></b><br />

<i>February is like an iron fist in a velvet glove. </i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Beautiful, quiet and for me, my birthday month so naturally my favorite time of year. But it is a tough one with the bitterly cold weather, storms and lack of light that can so easily wear one down. It's a good time to think ahead to the warmer sunnier days to come.</span> </h4>

Next up for the K&YA 2019 calendar is our weekend on <a href="http://www.knittingandyogaadventures.com/cape-ann-ma/" target="_blank"><b><i>Cape Ann in Rockport, MA, April 4-7</i></b></a>. </h4>
<br />
<br />
I have fallen hard for this hidden gem. It's labyrinth of walkable narrow streets filled with shops and galleries. The stunning views from our weekend home away from home, the beautiful<i> Emerson Inn</i>. I'm really looking forward to walking the beach between knitting sessions or just hanging out on the deep porch overlooking the ledge filled lawn to the Atlantic Ocean.<br />

It's always the <i>Season for Giving Thanks</i> and I am particularly thankful to everyone who made <i style="font-weight: bold;">Knit Maine 2018 </i>such a super success! All the Participants, the Instructors and Assistants, and our wonderful Sponsors: <i><b><a href="https://harrisville.com/" target="_blank">Harrisville Designs</a>, <a href="https://www.berroco.com/" target="_blank">Berroco</a>, </b>and<b> <a href="https://www.spinnery.com/" target="_blank">Green Mountain Spinnery</a>.</b></i> Their generosity overwhelms me.<br />
<br />
As the photos and surveys are rolling in it makes me so happy to see the smiling faces and read the lovely comments on our weekend at Haystack. The memories of our time together on the rocky shoreline are such a pleasure. <i>See below for a handful of images, more will be posted on the website later this month.</i><span id="goog_1421448555"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Quechee, Vermont has become a huge annual favorite among our knitters and always fills so quickly. Here is a great opportunity to see what all the buzz is about! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Settle in by the fireside for a cozy weekend of knitting, eating wonderful food, making new friends and day tripping through Woodstock, VT together!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Susan Mills, one of our perennially favorite instructors (and sometimes participant!) since the beginning of K&YA <i>(ahem, 14 years ago)</i>, is on a new adventure of her own. It's called </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">Knitting Union. </i><span>Take a look at Susan's beautiful work <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/designers/susan-mills" target="_blank">here</a>.

Thesis Subject: List Making</h4>
<div>
Many people are puzzled by the seeming disparity of the work I do, event planning vs working with clay. I would have to agree, one is tedious and stressful and the other quiet and peaceful. Both strive for a similar end result which is the appearance of ease and peace, but which one? The longer I do this work the more I realize they are foils for each other.</div>
<div>

Knitty.com will be posting a profile of me and my work on Tuesday this coming week. T<a href="http://knittyblog.com/" target="_blank">ake a look here</a>, and then tell me in September if you agree!</div>

We daytripped our way through northern New Mexico visiting ranchers, dyers, massage therapists, and artisans. We ate so much and stuffed our suitcases with goodies never slowing down building our stashes with beautiful churro and rambouillet wools, jewelry and artwork. The weather could not have been lovelier, though some rain would have been very welcome. New Mexico is suffering from a terrible drought right now. </div>

Our group was sweet and kind, eager to explore and I miss them so much! Enjoy a few photos below that cannot possibly show the wonderful-ness of our week together.</div>

If you've been thinking about this trip, there's still time to join us. This is an all-expense paid week in the high desert of <b><i>Northern New Mexico</i></b>.

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
February is my favorite month. </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It's my birthday month so naturally it's a little more special to me. Mostly it lends itself to quiet contemplation. The landscape plays a big role in this, the crunching snow and blocks of sea ice rising and falling on the marshes I drive by everyday set the tone to turn inward. This is also the time when I look over my calendar for the year and think about what I want to accomplish and how I want to spend my time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I just returned from a weeklong conference in Bennington, Vermont called the <i><b><a href="http://ncsw.org/" target="_blank">North Country Studio Workshop</a></b></i> where I was delighted to see some familiar faces from K&YA retreats. It's such a great thing to try new things and stretch your creative muscles. This is what I hope others will do in attending a K&YA retreat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">One aspect of my contemplation is much like how I approach planning retreats. I begin with the seasons, family events and work my way down to the smallest of details. How it will feel to sit in the sun on the deck overlooking Penobscot Bay or walk around the alpaca ranch in Northern New Mexico in June? When will we be 'on the go' and when will we rest, knit and visit? Balance is the operative word here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I invite you to think of your upcoming year and hope that you consider spending some of it with us. In <i><b><a href="http://www.knittingandyogaadventures.com/new-mexico/" target="_blank">New Mexico</a></b></i> it will be experiencing a culture and fiber so unique and unusual right in our own backyard. In Maine, <b><i><a href="http://www.knittingandyogaadventures.com/knit-maine-2018/" target="_blank">Haystack</a></i></b> will offer the chance to live on campus with knitting icons, learn new techniques among friends, even the opportunity to turn your craft into a life-supporting career if you are so inclined. Through studies in gauge, pattern writing, tech editing one could change the direction of their craft and step up to a greater challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.knittingandyogaadventures.com/knit-maine-2018/2018-workshops/" target="_blank">workshop offerings</a> in September. No matter your skill level, there are sessions for you here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div>
This is a different sort of trip for K&YA, it's a traveling, day-tripping, sheep-to-shawl-esque sort of trip. We meet in Sante Fe at the Inn On The Paseo, hang out for about 24 hours then head on up to the Abiquiu Inn in Abiquiu, NM. From there the real adventure begins!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We'll meet loads of Churro Sheep, eat lots of amazing Northern New Mexican foods, soak up the sunset, and explore the historic adobes in Abiquiu, Taos and Los Ojos. As we trip back down south at the end of the week we'll smell the lavender and feed the alpaca of Victory Ranch.</div>

<a href="http://www.knittingandyogaadventures.com/knit-maine-2018/" target="_blank">KNIT MAINE™ at Haystack Mountain School of Craft, Deer Isle, Maine September 6-9, 2018</a></h4>
This is also a different sort of trip for K&YA, I guess it's that kind of year. This is not so much a retreat as a full blown knitting extravaganza. With roughly 30 classes to chose from taught by 8 standout Designers and Instructors any knitter from a fledgling beginner to an advanced super-knitter will find classes to suit their tastes.<br />
<br />
If you've dreamed of spending time on the coast of Maine this is the place to be. Haystack, an internationally renown craft school has opened its doors to us for one of the most idyllic weekends Maine can offer. When you're not soaking up the knitting workshops you can soak up the sun on the warm ledge with your toes dipped into Penobscot Bay.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Perhaps it's not that traditional after all. We'll spend part of our yarn crawl on Saturday rolling out cookies at the King Arthur Flour Baking School. Then we'll roll home past one of our favorite knit shops, Northern Nights in Norwich, VT.</span></h4>

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year. And I really hope you pack a bag and come away with us!<br />
