Last weekend the Doubletree Hotel in Portland, Maine, was overrun with knitters and spinners for the fourth-annual Spa Knit and Spin.
No matter where I looked, there were spinning wheels. Groups were set up in the lobby, the lounge, the restaurant, the meeting rooms, and even in the hallways. Those who didn't know how to spin inevitably pointed to a friend and said, "She's promised to teach me tomorrow!"
