Please don't let your fears about knitting retreats/shows prevent you from trying them! I'm super introverted, have mobility issues, and I've gone to many of these events and I always go alone. I found the easiest way to find people to hang out with is to sit down with a group of people who are knitting, take out your knitting, and then ask them about their projects. If you are introverted, devote some time to socializing, and then recharge in your room at night. Lots of folks run virtual knitting retreats/shows/online classes, and those are also great options if you can't/don't want to travel or if you're shy.
One of my favorite things in the whole world was a retreat I used to attend with my Knitting Guild. As a working Mom and wife and now a caregiver for my dear husband I really miss it! It was Thursday - Sunday. We had the conference room and all our rooms were down the hall. Although this was literally at a church camp it was beautiful. I am very low maintenance except for my yarn of course. All our meals were included and the staff there was fantastic. It was definitely a time for me to decompress and just relax. I’m one of those that would sleep on the floor for a knitting retreat!
I'm so glad you're going again. I'm planning on going in either 2030 or 2031 if it's still there. Need to start saving now. Sounds like a long way off but I'm in England and it'll be for my 50th
I'm in Australia and planning ahead too 🙃
What a fun idea! I am such a newbie but would love to find myself amongst so many inspirational folks like you! Just maybe in the future I will meet you. Enjoyed when you went to the festivals or Rhinefest. That video’s were so much fun to sit back and watch your day with friends and enjoy the travels.
I would love to go to a retreat as I am a very sociable person but a lone knitter! Hope you have a wonderful time and make a video about it soon! X
Thank you for the Knitters Review link it is awesome and includes lots of other countries on top of a very full list of events in the US. I've found some I can go to in Australia!!
Very informative 😊 thank so much Natalie
I like the “runner up” project idea for just in case. I always have a “Sockhead” cowl or hat going as a “popcorn knitting” project. It’s easy, miles of ribbing or stockinette and it’s a project I take along to help me calm down when traveling or going anywhere that might be a bit busy. Thanks for the information about knitting in the hills.
So excited to see your adventures in Texas! Have fun.
Such helpful info. Thank you!!
Have so much fun! Hope you have a great time!! Love these kind of videos!
This was full of great tips, thank you so much!
Knitting events are so special. My first was Madrona (think it’s called Red Alder now). I had to fly Tucson to Tacoma so total cost was a good bit BUT it was so fun to see so many knitters and the classes and extra events were great too. One of the people at dinner asked “where is your knitting” and I replied “I don’t have a project with me that I can knit and talk at the same time (my mistake!) she replied “you should ALWAYS carry ‘stupid knitting’ - knitting you can work on while talking. Good advice that Ive followed ever since. Also one perk of going to one is once you’ve spent the money to go, you will never again think the cost of a skein of yarn is so extravagant - it’s a kind of permission to buy yarn 😂
Very concise!
Great video! I went to my first two retreats within the last 6 months and I agree with all of your tips, especially the ones about if you go by yourself.
i once left my main project on the plane..good thing I had a backup project in my suitcase!
Sounds exactly like me getting ready for a quilting retreat…lol. Lots to think about ahead of time!
My kind of advent 🧶
I definitely had to pause after you said the amount. I understand how expensive these things are to put together and run after working at a summer camp so it's not really that crazy to me.
Very helpful! I am headed to my first knitting retreat this summer in Montana, I cannot wait!!!
Gd evng, lm Myra l would like to join the class, cause. I like to knit, where in retreat is this classes
I'm looking for caps patterns pls, l want to knit with big needles, so that the cap can go quick
I hope you brought a jacket!
Very interesting retreat plans. What arrangements for Toaster?
Toaster goes to a sitter doggie sitter
Off subject but hope you can help. We will be visiting NY later this year (from Australia) and wonder if there are any yarn stores in NY city as we will not have transport. Tks.
One thing you will never see me do is going to a retreat. Specially alone. I did it once and it was so stressful for me I ended up getting sick and having to leave. I am very shy, except around friends. I've made friends like at work or neighbors just by being around them but putting me in a large (more than say 5 people), pretty much makes me shut down completely. Even at family get togethers I can go through this if there are people I don't know there as well. I think it's great for people who socialize and all but as much as I'd love to go to one and take classes, I know I could never go alone. The one good experience I had at a convention was with all my co-workers from the shop I worked at as a hair stylist. It was a lot of fun and classes were great. Just knowing I had people nearby if I needed them relaxed me enough to enjoy myself. So while I would encourage people to go to these things, also listen to your body and mind and be gentle with yourself. Going with a friend might just be what you need to open up with others. And if you don't have the problems I do, go!!! go alone, go with someone, meet up with someone there, whatever. Just remember you don't have to be like everyone else and it's also ok not to go.
What did those knitting live run you a cost wise?
What about flying with needles? Checked only?
I fly all the time with my knitting - never an issue. (In North America and Northern Europe.)
#question Why do you make so many musselburough hats??
They are fun to make, Make great gifts and Because she can?
Where do you find knitting retreats I live in Southern California. Got any ideas?
I know theres one in northern CA called Nockers or something similar. Try asking on their Ravelry board for other options?
How do you find out about these retreats and festivals ?
That’s my question too I live in Southern California eye. Would love to stay sort of local if possible.
#Question. Can anyone attend this retreat for the purpose of just going to the marketplace and purchase yarn? I guess someone wouldn't want to be a wedding crasher so to speak.
She says in the video you can get a day pass!
@@eleonorahof1001 Thank you Eleonora. I appreciate your response. Enjoy the sunshine ❤️
I’m sorry that my comments keep getting deleted. I was trying to share another resource for fiber events, and I’m not selling it or getting paid for it in any way. I don’t believe in gatekeeping, just wanted to share.
This is really far off the track, but why is your computer turned towards the wall?
I think it is Kents computer, hers is facing the window. And it is probably because the ventilation works a lot easier when the air has room to circulate around it, and since he's doing most to all of the editing, the computer works probably hard sometimes with rendering and keeping up. Allowing the computer to "breathe" freely prevents emergency shut downs and loosing all the work that wasn't saved, and it increases the duration of the hard- (and soft)ware
Please don’t say you got an allergy when you’re just a picky eater. That makes life for the restaurant staff so much harder. Please just be honest.
To my knowledge it also makes the lives of people with actual (often pretty severe) allergies harder! I've heard of people with allergies who were served food they were allergic to by restaurant staff even if they informed them of their allergy beforehand, because the staff didn't believe them or take them seriously. Likely because they've had some people falsely claim to have an allergy (though that isn't an excuse, as allergies are no joke and can kill people if severe enough).
