What a weekend! I had the most fabulous time on Saturday KIPing around Brunswick. Knitters came from all over to join in the fun. We knitted, made new friends, had great food at 111 Maine and The Frontier Café, and proudly represented the knitterly ways.
Our day started early at the Crystal Springs Farmer's Market. A huge thank you to Karen of Bowdoin Baking Company for providing the tent and the most delicious strawberry scone!
Doesn't Peggy look relaxed? That is exactly how I felt all day.

Somehow I missed getting a picture of Lesley, but I managed a shot of the sweater she is making.

More pics from the market:




From there it was onto the town mall.



These are Bridget's awesome sneakers, and because I covet them, I had to take the picture.


(They swore the hats weren't planned.)
We were visited by a street performing goat.

Had lunch at 111 Maine:



The wonderful meal was prepared by the talented Anna.

Sprouts were everywhere in the pictures above and here:



(No, the snake isn't a Sprout. It is just really cute. Mandy is making it for her son, Max.)
The day concluded with a 3 hour knit-in at The Frontier Café. 





And we managed to surprise Patti with a little going-away to grad school party.




We love you Patti!
This was all on the heels of a lively celebration held on Thursday night in honor of Scott's return from deployment.


As you can see, he didn't waste a free moment. Check out all that knitting! Those mittens are to die for. The Kureyon blanket is beautiful. But, nothing compares to the hand spun, hand knit items, such as this lace scarf:

We're so glad you're back!
A fun time was had by all - helped along by another incredible cake creation by Karen.




We were treated to a visit by a lovely little knitter-to-be:

And over the course of the past few days, 5 different, yet completely gorgeous projects in Spunky Eclectic Summer yarn, have been spotted. I captured pictures of 3.
A lace stole by Jeri, who is making it for her daughter's wedding. ( I queued the pattern.)

Amy's fabulous lace top.

And Anna's silvery lace tunic.

Thanks everyone for such an amazing time!
