Done! As far as blanket knitting goes, this is a good one. The Remix yarn is all recycled, mostly cotton with a hand that even an animal-fiber-only type person like me can love. Even though knitting a small blanket is the same amount of stitches-or maybe even less stitches- than knitting a sweater, it has a bigger slog factor. It's a good knit and blab project though!
2) A Place to Knit and Blab (and Swim Outside in Winter in New England)
Heated pool in winter in the Berkshires. Heaven! I spent two days at the Red Lion Inn with a dear old friend (my college room mate ) last week. I feel like the luckiest person ever that after all these years, she and I are happy to spend a couple days hanging out together with this schedule: knitting in a suspended-in-time old inn sitting room followed by swimming laps in wool hats under a bluest of blue skies in 20 degrees F with steam rising from the pool. Followed by the hot tub. Blabbing the whole time. I know it's not everyone's idea of good times but it works for both of us and we may have been grinning like fools.

I adore the Red Lion Inn. I've stayed there a few times but none was better than going there for our first outing after we got vaccinated last spring. It's such a great place to hang out and there are so many cozy spots for all of it.
A swim in a warm pool sounds delightful -- but how do you ever get up the courage to get OUT in the cold?
Oh. . . that looks like heaven! I'm so glad you got to spend such a perfect get-away with an old friend. XO (And that baby blanket is definitely going to stay on my radar . . . in case I ever need to make one . . . )
That sounds like a lovely couple of days!!
Oh, that trip would be so good for the soul! It sounds marvelous.
My kinda perfect days off with an old friend. Wonderful.
