...Combine:
One gang of smart, lovely, hilarious, and talented knitters...


[Aside: the Craft Pirate is no less smart, lovely, talented and hilarious - I just managed to go an entire weekend without taking a single picture of her - though I assure you she was there, and awesome.]
A shocking amount of yarn...
A ball winder and swift for winding up all that yarn...

[Aside: I'm pretty sure I know what my next big purchase will be, because DAMN is that ballwinder/swift combo some sweeeeeeeet shit]
Combine all ingredients for 2 days, at roughly 50-65 degrees, with plenty of sunshine and salt air...

Yield: one perfect, relaxing, inspiring, and all-around-wonderful weekend.
You might even end up with a finished object...

Or two...

Warning: side effects may include overeating, staying up ridiculously late, laughing so hard your stomach hurts, staying in your PJs all day, walking through a pitch black seven-acre corn maze without a flashlight, and starting to have fantasies about quitting your job, moving to Martha's Vineyard and raising sheep, whose fiber you will process, spin and knit in a ramshackle weathered shingle-covered gingerbread house surrounded by knotty salt-seared oaks.
Also, those particularly sensitive to bucolic fantasies may also begin to wonder if a wee spotted pig with bristly ears and a sweet, snuffly little piggy snout would technically violate their apartment building's firm "No Pets" policy.
Livestock isn't exactly a pet, right??

Well done!
Wow, it sounds like a fabulous time!
Sounds like you couldn't have found a better way to spend a couple of days. :)
I am jealous! Although having a Sox, Sox, Pats weekend was pretty wonderful, it was no relaxing island knitfest.....
The very picture of wistful romantic loveliness, I am... So feminine... so dainty...
I was sad to leave you gals early, but I had a fabulous time. Can't wait to do it again!
I had such a great time too! I demand more pictures of me next time. :P
Wow, that looks like a wonderful weekend!
Yay Martha's Vineyard! Let's repeat this again soon!
Thanks for your comment...and for the translation! He certainly does look like he loves his codpiece.
