West Marin Knitting Retreat

Knit ~ Make ~ Have Fun

That is what I think of our annual retreat in West Marin. We are returning this September  2018 and you can join us.

History of the knitting retreat in West Marin:
For the past 5 years a group of knitters and some makers have been going to West Marin for an informal weekend knitting retreat. Through the years it has evolved and this is my second year as the organizer. It is a weekend to do what you want, there is no planned agenda except to create, eat and sleep. The common thread that has kept the group coming back is knitting but we have also had weavers, painters and writers, it is not only for knitters. There are no featured instructors, it is based on sharing knowledge and passion between participants. Last year I facilitated an extra activity which included sewing and making project bags.

No activity is mandatory, it is a do what you want weekend in a beautiful place with time to spend on your favorite craft.

It is a wonderful group of women that like to make and share with friends. It is always inspirational. Last year it was after the fires in Northern California so we also had a silent auction fund raiser and as a group we chose an organization to donate the proceeds.

What you can expect:

This is your weekend to hang out, share stories, enjoy great food and the beautiful surroundings of West Marin in Marshall, California
If you need help with a pattern, or want to explore a stitch technique, are curious about a fiber, or pondering a new craft there is bound to be someone that can help.

Join us the weekend of September 28-30, 2018. The location is Marshall, California at Marconi Conference Center. This is in a state park, the accommodations are slightly rustic but nice and I can vouch for the yummy healthy food. They will accommodate special diet needs. The sleeping arrangements are double and triple rooms. If you plan to come alone, no worries, I do my best to put like minded people together. Most of your time will be spent in the outdoors or the community room.

The weekend includes two nights lodging, a community room with patio just for our group, plus 6 meals and snacks.

Friday check in is at 3PM – Welcome party and dinner
Saturday – Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks and Dinner
Sunday – Breakfast and Lunch, farewell

I am in the planning stages to include an extra activity of block printing on fabric. I will have all the supplies and instruction you will need to participate. There will be an additional fee to cover the supplies if you decide to participate.

The only thing you need to bring for the weekend is yourself and whatever craft or activity you want to do. All the time will be yours do to it.
