Wanna go wanna go WANNA GO!!!!

So there's this little knitting thing I want to attend. Well, it's a big little knitting thing. It is Camp Cockamamie sponsored by Blue Moon Fiber Arts. The Yarn Harlot will be there and there is a full day devoted to a whale watching cruise along with the days of knitting workshops. With the registration fee, hotel room and travel it will cost almost a thousand dollars and

I WANT TO GO I WANT TO GO I WANT TO GO.

Can I go?

Nope. Even if I had the thousand dollars. Even if I had the thousand dollars and the extra cash just for spending on food and yarn. Even if I had the thousand dollars plus spending money and a husband who would say, "Sure, sweetie, I've got the house covered. You go on and knit for four days, spend however much you want. Bean and I will just clean the house and do all of the laundry so that everything is perfect when you get home."

I still couldn't go. Between work and school and practicum there just isn't any way for me to swing it, money or not.

But next year? Next year I might be able to pull it off. And next year Andie and Kerri and maybe even Michelle will be sock knitters, too. And we could all go and have a grand old time (and share a hotel room, of course).

I will be in mourning from April 10th through the 14th. I will knit sad girl socks and drink lots of wine and I will sigh a lot. A lot.
But I want to go next year. Really really really.
And somehow I will make it happen.

Anyone else with me?!?

The Socks that Rock should be in the mail in a few weeks and I am so excited. My needles and yarn for the cabled hat should be in very soon, and I also have a book on the way from Knitpicks - I must have that piggy pattern. Bean wants a purple piggy. There is also a pattern in that book for penguins and for a bunny in overalls. Perhaps that will help me get through my "no knit camp for you" funk. (Sigh).
