Here's how Jane describes it:

Now imagine this: it is September and the world around you mellows into
autumn gold, the air is turning crisp yet not chill. You are among
like-minded fiber lovers sipping your drink of choice on a beautiful old
wrap-around porch by the lake. At your fingertips, a treasure trove of
gorgeous yarns is readily accessible -- sari silks, twisted cottons flecked
with beads, lush silken ribbons that flow across your fingers like water and
all in colors tantalizingly rich. On your lap unfolds a knitting adventure
both exhilarating and stress-free. "No mistakes exist," you hear me remind
you all as we knit together.

Yes. This September I'm coming to Petoskey, MI, on Lake Michigan, a lovely little
historic town caught in a simpler time where we will have nothing more
pressing to do for a few days but eat, enjoy one another's company, play
with gorgeous yarn and knit. Did I mention eat? Oh, yes, we might get up and
go for a walk once in awhile -- so many lovely places to wander, after all,
but, really, no have-tos exist in this realm.

Isn't this a perfect dream scenario? Well, consider it reality on the brew.
You know how I love Mango Moon's yarns -- richly textured, lots of silk at
reasonable prices, BEADS! and so much more, including sponsorship of
cooperatives in Nepal. Well, does it get any better in the yarn world? So,
when the opportunity came for me to lead a workshop with such a fiber feast,
I leapt at the opportunity. Here's the details:
