What I Learned on My Knitting Retreat



1. Don't wear a bright green jacket to a small town unless you want to be noticed.

2. Very little knitting will occur on a knitting retreat.

3. Just order a round of vodka tonics. And keep them coming. I mean, honestly.

4. Egg cups are hard to come by.

5. Just because you have a GPS doesn't mean you won't get lost. Every time you leave the B&B.

6. If you are following a diet, it's gonna go out the window for a few days.

7. When you say that you are coming with friends for a knitting retreat, the B&B owner will think you are 60 years old.

8. Taco pizza. It's wonderful.

9. The weatherman lies.

10.  Glitter nail polish is worth the $8.00. (And would've been better with matching fake eyelashes.)



Obviously there were some important life lessons to be gleaned. Until next year, girls!

  2. I think we should all wear green coats next time. It'll be our signature. Great list!

  3. Oh my gosh. I just laughed out loud! Those are all soooooo true!!!! I liked the green coat being the standout. Why blend in?

    Next time, I PROMISE I will get the fake eyelashes. And not encourage the cheap nail polish (mine already came off!)

    :D

    1. I am tempted to take up knitting just to join your retreat next year. I would even purchase a green coat!
