@wenestvedt And my mom too!
But this tour isn't just for Mefites' moms. Anyone interested in knitting, felting, spinning, dyeing, and petting cute farm animals would probably have a good time.

Followup: if anyone is interested in hearing me blah blah about this project, you can listen to my interview with Kathy Elkins of the (famous in knitting circles) Ready, Set, Knit podcast.

Extra followup: So, we didn't get enough people to launch the tour this year. It's a bummer, but understandable given the time commitment. So, I'm collecting input for next year. If you were interested (or know anyone who's interested) in this type of package vacation please take our quick survey. Cheers!
