THIS RETREAT IS SOLD OUT!
Pick a sweater (or sweaters!) of your choice and get hands on instruction focused on exactly what you need for your project. Pick and choose from a full schedule of break out classes including understanding gauge, seaming, blocking, picking up stitches, cabling without a cable needle, brioche, short rows, steeking, colorwork, as well as specific one on one sessions about literally anything you want to learn about!
We plan the class schedule around your needs and ask guests what they need help with. We also have a sign up sheet available all weekend long for one on one classes with Allyson & Laura so you can get your specific questions about your project answered. And LOTS of knitting time to make progress!
