Retreat, Part II
After the stroll (no, no it was more of a hike -- a hike with moments of slog), it was time for lunch. I went back to Eastsound (small island, small towns, that was the closest spot that promised a selection of lunch spots). I stormed the first restaurant I found and devoured some sort of massive sandwich product.

I have actual photos of actual knitted things (both mine and those of others) that I will share with you in the next few days. But now, now I need a shower and a nap and a snuggle with my kittens and some other home-coming rituals. So tomorrow it's one more sneak peek from the next book. But trip details (complete with yarn, blankets, baby lambs [and [...]
