There’s something magical about knitting with friends. Sure, knitting itself is wonderful—calming, meditative, and satisfying—but when you add community to the mix, everything changes. Knitting becomes more than just stitches and projects—it becomes connection—laughter, shared stories, encouragement, and a deep sense of belonging.
As far as knitting with others goes, the retreat is next level. Everything is fun, but it's Sunday's Show and Share Brunch that's usually the highlight. You can share your projects and success with family and friends; however, it's completely different sharing your projects with a room full of people who get it. The nods of understanding when you talk about having to rip back 20 rows of lace, the collective gasp at a project you've finished (because they know what goes into that colorwork), and the cheers that greet a beginner who's finished her first project. The validation that comes from other knitters is priceless.
That’s why knitting retreats aren’t just a luxury—they’re a gift to yourself, an opportunity to connect, recharge, and immerse yourself in the joy learning something new and just being with other knitters. Our Winter Retreat is less than two weeks away (Feb 21-23), but there's still a few days to sign up and treat yourself to this experience.
A Retreat that brings Knitters back Again and Again
One of the best signs of a truly special event? People come back year after year.
Our retreat has always been a place where knitters—many from out of town—return time and time again. Some come solo, some bring a friend, and all of them leave with a deeper love for knitting and a stronger sense of community.
It’s the kind of experience that lingers long after the weekend ends. Many of the knitters who attended our very first retreat still join us today—because it’s not just about knitting, it’s about connection, laughter, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
The Perfect Valentine’s Gift—For Yourself!
With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, it's a perfect time to think about self care.
This retreat is a gift of time, space, and inspiration you can give yourself—A chance to step away from everyday demands and immerse yourself in something that fills your heart.
You spend so much time doing for others—why not give yourself the gift of an entire weekend devoted to your craft?
And don’t worry—this isn’t just about indulgence (though there is plenty of that). This retreat is an immersive knitting experience, where you’ll:
- Learn and grow – We’re taking a deep dive into cables, and you’ll walk away with new confidence in this gorgeous technique.
- Be inspired – Martin Storey himself will be joining us for a special Zoom chat, sharing his thoughts on cable design.
- Recharge and relax – Step away from daily responsibilities and sink into a weekend of uninterrupted knitting time.
- Make lifelong connections – Whether you come with a friend or on your own, you’ll leave with new knitting friends who feel like family.
And most importantly… this retreat is for knitters of ALL levels. Whether you're brand new or have been knitting for years, you’ll find support, encouragement, and a community that welcomes you with open arms.
Only 4 Spots Left—Don’t Miss Out!
If this sounds like something you need (and let’s be honest, we all do), now is the time to grab one of the last four spots before the retreat fills up.
Come for the knitting. Stay for the friendships. Leave feeling inspired, recharged, and completely in love with your craft all over again.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! As always, I can't wait to spend the weekend with you!

I loved my time there! I would give anything if it were possible for me to be there this time. Maybe the next one.
