Stitch Happens! The Retreat takes in various levels of skill. All aspects of knitting is covered throughout the weekend. From choosing yarn and patterns and everything you need to know to make any project from the cast on to the final cast off. Problem solving sessions include creative solutions to fix those projects that didn’t turn out just the way you wanted. The Retreat is an inspirational journey through mentoring, sharing of ideas and techniques that develops the skill and creative side of each participant. There are no set projects and you can work on whatever you wish. Should you require help with a specific project, a time is set aside to help you out. All skill levels are welcome and all aspects of knitting will be covered throughout the weekend. Wendy recognizing knitting to be healing and therapeutic for the mind wanted to nurture an opportunity to bring knitters together in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Join us to share ideas, learn new techniques and meet people who are like minded.
