Tahoe Crafty

This past weekend, for a "bachelorette" trip for Robin, we spent a most glorious time in S. Lake Tahoe knitting, drinking and finding out that the Urgent Care on US 50 next to KFC is staffed by friendly folks. There was some snowshoeing (which is where the urgent care came into play) and gambling, as well as a trip to the Wool Tree. Great shop! Did I mention drinking?

First off, the wines we consumed during our first evening of knitting:

1. 2004 Wild Coyote Meritage - we picked up this delicious wine the weekend we got Robin engaged down in Paso Robles. It is well-balanced and pretty wonderful. Pricy, though.

2. Lordy, I can't remember. It was pretty good however.

3. 2004 Rodney Strong Cabernet, I think. This was bottle #3, so I was pretty wasted by then.

Needless to say, hangovers ensued the next day, which was filled with snowshoeing. The snow was pretty much crap, but we still had a grand time. Up until Claire fell upon a branch and needed 9 stitches. After we were done at the Urgent Care, it was time for the obligatory trip to the Burger Lounge. Sadly, the new owners have been unable to retain the old liquor licence, so no pitcher of Snow Plow for us.

After burgers, we trudged home for showers and more knitting, several cosmos apiece, then later, a trip to the casino for some roulette and slots. Robin was the big winner!

Projects:
Claire - socks
Robin - making great progress on her scarf
Becky - started and almost completed her scarf
Betsy - finished the back of the Ruffled Surplice sweater, and started a new pair of socks.

Sunday was cleanup day, then a visit to the LYS - The Wool Tree. A wonderful yarn shop, the Wool Tree. Lots of yummy yarns I haven't touched before.

Becky and I worked on our projects on the drive home. Sock #1 is almost finished!
