Knitting Retreat

Join us April 17-19 to relax, knit, and join in community and creativity.

We invite you to join us in Union Pier, Michigan for a fun weekend of knitting and community! We'll use the weekend to knit with the help of in-person instructor, Anna S. The project will be Spring Socks! 

We'll take a knitting break on Saturday afternoon for a visit to Sandpiper and Hoof-to-Hanger Fiber Mill  in Bridgman (from where your yarn was sourced). You'll get a chance to shop, but the excitement of this visit is to take a tour of the Fiber Mill to see how your yarn comes to be!

Spend the weekend knitting with others, or take some time away, cozied up in your comfy room! All levels of experience are welcome. We'll have a plan b beginner's project for newer knitters and those looking to learn, so truly all are welcome!

The weekend is priced from $450-$530, depending on the room, for single occupancy. Plan to add $135 for a second occupant, to account for additional knitting materials. 

The cost of two nights at the inn for this very special weekend includes…

• Dinner when you arrive Friday night (pizza & salad) to enjoy while Anna walks us through and starts us each on the weekend's project
• All your knitting materials (needles, yarn, etc.)
• Personalized and hands-on instruction all weekend from our experienced knitter!
• Breakfast Saturday & Sunday mornings
• Snacks/wine on Saturday afternoon

Anna shown with her Detroit Lions Scarf, just before finishing it, just in time for the game to start! She donated her leftover yarn to a very excited waitress!

Anna taught herself to knit more than 20 years ago and calls it her "therapy". She loves lace knitting, the more complicated the better, but also regularly churns out warm, chunky hats or scarves for Midwest winters. She's got 4 WIPs (Works In Progress) currently hanging out on the needles, and her most recently completed works include a Detroit Lions Scarf to commemorate their winning season, and a beautiful sweater to keep her warm through a Michigan winter! She lives in Detroit with her husband, 6 year old son, and basement full of yarn.
