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!

@orapronobis2149 Год назад

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.

@vickieley7024 Год назад

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 🙃

@purposeinmind Год назад

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!!

@heathertucker7056 Год назад

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

@hebulanebula Год назад

Very informative 😊 thank so much Natalie

@Rglazapple Год назад

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.

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 😂

@selfishknitter Год назад

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.

@JordanHeil-jp9wu Год назад

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.

@giselemacdonald794 Год назад

Sounds exactly like me getting ready for a quilting retreat…lol. Lots to think about ahead of time!

@katpraeuner9794 Год назад

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.

I hope you brought a jacket!

@patchwork9712 Год назад

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.

What did those knitting live run you a cost wise?

@corteofs Год назад

How do you find out about these retreats and festivals ?

@rosslynnoziska4959 Год назад

That’s my question too I live in Southern California eye. Would love to stay sort of local if possible.

@sharonh9239 Год назад

What about flying with needles? Checked only?

@sarahschira9105 Год назад

I fly all the time with my knitting - never an issue. (In North America and Northern Europe.)

@rosslynnoziska4959 Год назад

Where do you find knitting retreats I live in Southern California. Got any ideas?

@sarahschira9105 Год назад

I know theres one in northern CA called Nockers or something similar. Try asking on their Ravelry board for other options?

@kendenta2207 Год назад

#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.

@eleonorahof1001 Год назад

She says in the video you can get a day pass!

@kendenta2207 Год назад

@@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.

@rosslynnoziska4959 Год назад

This is really far off the track, but why is your computer turned towards the wall?

@sophiewiest1493 Год назад

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

@eleonorahof1001 Год назад

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.

@Lisa_Flowers Год назад

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).
