Do you think I'm bringing enough?

For six years, I attended a knitting retreat sponsored by Sutter's Gold 'n Fleece up in St. Germain.  It was great!  Stayed at a lodge that used to be a logging camp but now has the main lodge and various cabins.  We would arrive on Friday night, have two classes on Saturday, prizes Saturday night and knit, knit, knit!!

Two years ago was the last retreat that Liz held.  At that time, Mom and I decided we would do our own retreat of sorts.  Last year we rented a cabin outside of Mercer and while it was nice enough inside, on the outside it looked like a very bad shack.  We came up on Thursday, explored on Friday (spent about an hour driving one way to get to where we wanted to explore/shop), Saturday we stayed at the cabin working on our projects and watched movies/listened to a book and came home on Sunday.

This year, we are doing pretty much the same but have rented a cabin a little closer to where we want to be and have a friend joining us.  Mom plans to work on a rug hooking project she started a couple years ago, Charlene will work on a plastic canvas tissue box and I will be working on all the lovelies in the photo (which will hopefully trim down my WIPs).

For those curious (and so I have a list to make sure I bring all the patterns):

1. Towel holder: weave in ends
2. Pumpkin mat: weave in ends and add border
3. Tan ribbed scarf: weave in ends
4. Towel holder: figure out pattern
5. Aunt B's Pioneer Braid shawl: start 2nd braid
6. Green doily with cream edging: weave in ends
7. Paw Track Socks: fix tight cuff of 
8. Pioneer Braid Scarf: cast on and work first 3 braids (so I know what I'm doing on #5)
9. DDs 2nd sock: cast on
10. Mom's double knit pine tree mittens
11. Baby sweater: add button and weave in ends
12. Dishcloth: weave in ends
13. Baby sweater: add button and weave in ends
14. Green star afghan: weave in ends
15. Linda's Wildflower sock: cast on
16. Caliometry: add button and weave in ends

I debated about bringing 1 or 2 big projects or just items that needed to be finished and compromised on both. It seems like a lot but with 9 of the 16 projects requiring buttons/ends woven in, they should go fast leaving me ample time to concentrate on the other 7 projects.  Friday we will be stopping at Sutter's so there will be an opportunity to buy more yarn in case I run out of things to do...
