2009 ReTreat ReCap - Day One (Friday)

We arrived at the Baker Lake Lodge on Friday afternoon, and put out the goodie bags and Knitmas gifts (a.k.a. door prizes) in preparation of our ReTreat arrivals:


And then after everyone arrived and got settled in, Knitmas started in earnest. The only thing missing was a decorated tree, but we had a lovely hearth and a crackling fire, good friends (almost family!), good food and drink. Let the fun begin!

There were several lively games going on thru the weekend at the pool table, but I don't think anyone lost any SERIOUS money. The great room at the lodge was large enough that we had areas by the bar, fireplace, tv (movies and knitting videos pretty much all weekend), sofas/rockers/easy chairs, plus the dining area where we had a skein winding station and Pat did knitting machine demos. Here's some spinning going on:
As you can tell, most of us changed into our pj's on Friday night. You'll see in the upcoming reports that we pretty much stayed in our pj's all weekend!
