A little later this morning Mr. Turtle and I are jumping into the Subaru and heading to his birth state, North Carolina. There we’ll be turning and heading west, across the state to the town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. There, a number of other knitters will converge for Unwind Getaway, run by the amazing Nancy Schroyer. I’m one of four instructors who will be running a stellar lineup of classes, and I couldn’t be more excited.
I’ve spent the last two days unpacking and re-packing my teaching supplies. Unpacking, because my office has been one of the last bastions of the move, and there were a bunch of boxes I hadn’t even opened yet. Repacking, as I pulled together my supplies, materials, swatches and samples for the classes.
There was a run to the library to print off copies of patterns and worksheets, since our printer is only printing black ink, and then only badly. There was the evening scramble and I tripled-checked: yes I really do have everything. Sleeping the night before I travel for classes is always interesting!
Peake decided we really, really didn’t need to leave. And if we insisted, then he was coming with us.
I’m so excited to head out!
