Bootcamp anyone?

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be at the Menla Retreat and Conference Center learning to teach yoga.  The format is a week long, 100 hour teacher training “bootcamp.” (Does that bother anyone else, I mean, does the US always have to be different ie  imperial measurement AND weird period/comma rules?)  I’m very excited but also nervous.  The attendees will be a mix of brand new yoga teachers along with experienced ones and practice teaching will be done in front of both types!  Given the type of people that are generally drawn to teach yoga I can only hope the criticism is constructive and not too harsh.  There is no cell service and little free time so I’m not sure yet how much I’ll be online.  Regardless of whether I’m actually able to post while I’m there, I plan to do some writing each night while the experience of my day is still fresh.

While packing I was looking for this hat (still haven’t found it) and instead found a hat I don’t think I’ve shared on the blog before.  I can’t believe that EVER happens but I know it does, especially with smaller projects.  I tracked down the yarn to this post, merino I spun in the Pansy colorway from BeeMiceElf.   I’m guessing I knit the hat shortly afterwards so that narrows it down to a period of about a year since I made it.  It’s cute but I really prefer the other one.  Apparently, it can get pretty chilly on top of the mountain even in June so it’ll have to do if I can’t find the blue one.  Looking at this hat I realize just how much work my spinning needs.  I’m sure it’s even worse than I imagine now that it’s been eons since I’ve touched the wheel.

If you don’t hear from me for a while now you know why.  Please send some good vibes my way, particularly ones of confidence, healing and support!  Oh, and don’t forget about the giveaway!  You have up to 8 chances to win yarn and other fiber related goodies.
