Seattle is convenient to SEATAC airport.  From the airport, you can taxi, take a ride share, or the light rail to the hotel.

 

Meals

On Thursday before dinner, you’ll receive your swag bags, a schedule, and an overview of the retreat.  Afterwards, we’ll kick off the retreat with a wonderful group dinner, followed by some casual group knitting. 

We’ll enjoy breakfasts together each day, getting a Seattle-style caffeine jumpstart for the wonderful classes in store for us.  Lunches are also included daily.

Friday and Sunday feature included group dinners, on Saturday evening, you are free to explore the city’s multitude of restaurants.  We’ll be sending out a few recommendations, selected by a local Seattleite.

Non-knitter companions are free to join us for meals; Day Students will join us for all included breakfasts, lunches and dinners. 

 

Classes

Join Paper Daisy on Friday, as we explore color, and learn how to successfully pull together yarn kits, featuring 2, 3, 4, and more yarns per bundle.  In the afternoon, we’ll give our brains a break with a fun project led by Wild Onion. We’ll follow the project with a quick introduction to our main event knitting pattern; tomorrow, you’ll put your new color confidence to work, pulling together your own unique yarn kit for the pattern!

On Saturday, we’ll drive over to Hazel Knits, where you’ll be met with floor to ceiling walls (plural!) of colorful yarn.  Will it be intimidating?  Nope!  You’ll use your newfound color confidence to pull together your unique and special yarn kit.  Remember, too, that Paper Daisy will be with us, to answer any questions, or offer advice.  Afterwards, it’s back to the hotel, for Show and Tell, then dinner on your own. 

Sunday finds us back in class to cast on our newly purchased yarn, and knit an exclusive pattern by Paper Daisy, debuting at this retreat.
