Continuing on with my story (Remember we left off with the frustrating vest making experience and we stopped short of ripping it out (:
On a more pleasant note, we found two LOVELY shops. One is Knitter's Corner near Lake of the Ozarks. Here is a link to their shop for all who care to explore - (coming from Camdenton) Knitter's Corner, just over the Grand Glaze bridge and across from the Happy Fisherman. It's a charming shop with really nice folks, and they have a lot of their items knit up on display to tempt you. Several of their projects were knit by customers instead of manufacturer's samples. This shop is so cute - they even have knitted curtains in the windows.
The ladies Knitter's Corner are very sweet and encouraged our Sip and Knit group to come down for a visit. They even offered to give a class of our request - a mini-workshop of sorts, if we'd care to suggest something we'd like to do together. Any ideas ladies? It's only a two-hour drive. What if we drove down some Friday night, then stayed overnight at a cabin, attended a knitting workshop on Saturday, then came back to town afterwards. I think it would be a blast!!
At that shop, I saw this lovely hat, knit by a customer, and I bought the yarn for it. Here's me trying it on.
Finally, we polished off our trip by disovering a really lovely shop called Antique Memories at Osage Beach. We milled around there for quite a while. I love hats, and so does my daughter, as evidenced by her hat find:

Sounds like you had a wonderful time!
We'll fix that vest, not to worry. The yarn and colors already look too pretty NOT to complete the project.
A Knitter's retreat down there sounds wonderful. I vote yes! We need to go in July, just because I'd like to make sure I can be there. :D
