So nice to see you on Mudcat Carmen. I'm glad you liked the shawl, I love making them, especially when I have the recipient in mind while the work is in progress.

I agree with Charmion and Dani - the Getaway is a family reunion and I love my folk family very much. Yes, there is a goodness about the atmosphere that just grows as the weekend progresses. That goodness allows us to give 110% of ourselves in every song or tune we make and gives a secure place for the shyer ones or the novices to show what they can do.

Oh, and Mick, so far as fanship of KT is concerned - BITE ME!
