So my local knitting group decided to rent a hotel room for our Ravelympics kick off party, so that we could relax and hang out and enjoy ourselves all evening (and all morning, apparently, since some of us are still together at the coffeeshop!)

Some of us were quite enamored of the bathtub in the swank bathroom.
The rest of us chatted and hung out and had some wine and did a little (emphasis on little) knitting:

Yes, I managed to cast on and knit an entire twelve rows last night. Hopefully today will be more productive!

Kitty Carlisle is trying to hunt down the giant glowing polar bear that was in the opening ceremonies. I think she wants to be friends.
*Clearly if staying the night somewhere is a sleep over, staying the night with yarn friends is a yarn over, right?


Hee – I like that! So I guess that means the MDSW bash last year was a yarn over, too.
