not sure why

Time to catch up the blogging world. I was fortunate enough to go to Super Summer Knittogether in Nashville. I loved it. It was so much fun. I just wish I wasn't sick for the first day and a half. Nothing like air sickness that follows you for a while. I was embarrassed meeting people right after getting off of the plane and not really being able to talk to them since I had to lay down or I would be really sick. The first night I ate dinner alone since I couldn't go to a pizza joint or a Mexican restaurant. Part of me felt like I was wasting someone else's place. But Thursday night I felt so much better and went to dinner with a great group of ladies at a nice restaurant. Friday's classes were wonderful. Lynn Zimmerman was a wonderful spinning teacher and Laura Linneman's class on core spinning was also a great class. I purchased a wheel from a great lady named Jan (Faery circle) she rocks.  I also went to the screening of Labyrinth, it was so much fun. Danced and sung the songs that I could remember. Saturday was the vendor market and that was so wonderful. I was able to get just about everything I wanted. I wish I had taken a picture of everything, but oh well. I will post them as it comes up, but for right now I don't have them. Sunday was good. I left late so I was able to have lunch with some great people that I hadn't been able to hang out with before. I want to thank Leslie, Laura, Carin and Becky for a great time. I loved meeting Bev, Jan, Amy, Megan, Steph, Steven (both of you), Heather, Lisa (my roomie), Sharon, Susan (dinner was fab), Chelsea (who is the fastest knitter I have ever seen) and anyone else I have forgotten (sorry I'm bad). I missed my hubby, but I miss you all right now. I hope that next year there is another SSK and that I am able to go again. This was the best experience I have ever had. Meeting new people and traveling out of my comfort zone is so good for me.

The next several pics are from Nashville.
