This is a one day event held the third Saturday of January. Shake off the winter blues and get excited for new projects in the new year. Meet a lot of other members and non-members as we knit, crochet, spin and enjoy all of the fibery goodness. A few tutorials may be provided, at little or no additional cost.

  This is a self-driven day. The day is what you make of it. If you wish to just visit and work on your projects, that is fine. If you would like to share a talent or craft you have, we'd love to see what you have to share. There is no formal plan and we want it to be very relaxed, flexible and informal. Basically we want everyone to have fun!

If you have any ideas to share for our 2014 Winter Mini-Retreat, please leave us a comment on our feedback form.

    Wow did we have fun. Over 40 members and non-members joined us at the Waltz Building on Saturday, 19 January 2013. We had more food than could possibly be consumed, April and Sherry brought their latte machine and Tandy made freshly popped popcorn. We had fun with the crocheted granny square and weaving tutorials. Barb manned the spinning circle and brought an extra wheel for people to try their hand at spinning. Country Yarns, The Hungry Pelican and Uppercase Books, were very generous in offering attendees discounts. Many people brought door prizes and so we were able to give away over 20 books, yarn, and other goodies, including a loom.

    I am really looking forward to the retreat next year. It was a fun and inexpensive activity to do on a dreary wintery day and I enjoyed spending time getting to know some of the wonderful people who share my passion for fiber.
