Tracey and Jodi hosted an excellent weekend. The classes were diverse, informative and fun. The venue was ideal and the food was all so good. 
The evenings were loads of fun and the vendor table was pure yarn candy.

What a lovely knitting retreat! Everything was so well planned. Rooms were great, food was very good and our hosts were top notch. They thought of everything and more! The classes, the field trip, the evening gatherings. Every element was perfection.  Can’t wait for the next one!
