Most of this episode was recorded on Friday October 23rd
while the knitters from Cornerstone Fall Retreat were at my home. We enjoyed
lunch, sat outside in the beautiful fall weather amongst the gorgeous colors,
and later in the afternoon they came down in groups of 5 or so to record. I
will warn you that there is quite a lot of ambient noise as we were downstairs
and 20 were upstairs having a grand time. You get used to it after a while but
if not, come back to next week’s show. I may not link all the references in the
show notes because there are quite a few but if you have questions you can ask
and I’ll try to find out for you.
Events
I will have the registration ready soon for the Spring Retreat
which is February 26-27, 2016 in Washington IL. The optional Workshop and Yarn
Crawl Fun Day starts on Feb 25.
The information a will come out about 2 weeks before the earliest postmark date which will be Dec 1. That’s after
Thanksgiving here in the US and everyone should have time to get the
information, fill out a registration and send it in by US mail. I will put that
out in a separate podcast episode which will say clearly in the subject line
that it is for Spring Retreat. Links to the registration materials will be on
the website and in both Ravelry groups.

The following two recipes were requested by Cornerstone
Retreat Attendees
Chai Spice Cake
1 white cake mix
¾ cup David Rio Tiger Spice Chai
1 ½ -2 bags Heath English Toffee Bits (without chocolate)
8 oz Cool Whip
Mix cake as directed on box (I used whole eggs ‘cause I forgot to separate the whites as directed on the box). Then fold in Chai mix and ¾ -1 bag of Toffee Bits.
Pour batter into a greased
9 x 13 pan or jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes til
toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle a few toffee bits on top of cake after it
comes out of oven if desired.
For added calories and yum factor, you might try drizzling
each piece with chocolate syrup and/or caramel sauce.
Enjoy!
Have a great week, haste ye back, and hold your knitting
close.
