I want to go on a knitting retreat. Now. Today.

I keep seeing announcements for them — they pop up in my email with tantalizing photos of Adirondack chairs and peaceful lakes. I can almost smell the coffee and hear the click of needles. In fact, I find myself fantasizing…

Idyllic natural setting. Perfect weather. Cozy lodge with well-thought-out simple comforts. Good food that someone else prepares (I don't even want to have to figure out what to order…).  I see it all!  The morning scones, the comfortable chairs, the glass of wine after dinner.  Maybe a little walk to stretch the legs in the morning.  Some slow yoga in the afternoon.  Hand massages before bed.

And, of course, knitting with knitters.  That's the best:)

So, yes, I would be ready for just a little break from it all.  In some leaf-rustling, water lapping spot with the special camaraderie of knitters knitting — all of us with our favorite needles and our most delicious projects.  And croissants.
