Many months ago Loren and Karen agreed to trade handiwork. Loren agreed to make a hand crafted silver bracelet in exchange for a hand knit sweater. It took a while since Karen hand dyed the superwash merino yarn before undertaking that knitting and Loren made the fine silver wire and twisted it into 9-ply before tying it into an intricate turk’s head knot. Both pieces promise to be treasured by their recipients for years to come!
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
I witnessed part of the knitting, both gifts are truly amazing.
