Summer Retreat 2016
with
Simple Methods for Creating Complex Fabrics
Sunday, August 21-
Monday, August 22nd
10am - 4pm
Cecelia Campochiaro will introduce us to her amazing knitting techniques that have taken the knitting world by storm. She will teach us how to create amazing textured and colored fabrics through a repetition of a unique sequence of stitches.
Day 1 will be an introduction to Sequence Knitting. Cecelia will explain the basics, show samples of sequence knitting, and take us through basic techniques. We'll swatch several different fabrics using these unique patterns as a class and then discuss and learn how to make amazing fabrics through wise choices of stitch pattern, fiber, and color.
Day 2 will include a slideshow on the genesis of
Sequence Knitting and then we'll plunge into our chosen projects (described below) making a gorgeous and wearable shawl.
There will be a choice of two different shawl kits for pre-order:
Hamaya and
Twigs and Gravel. See below for full details.

The Salon North
Join us for another fabulous Knitting Retreat at the Salon North.
Our retreat will take place at
The
Ethelridge Road Knitting Salon North
in Stephentown, NY, two hours north of White Plains in the scenic Taconic Foothills, and just a few miles west of the beautiful Berkshire Mountains, the cultural hub of the New England summer arts and music scene. There will be plenty of time for knitting, hiking and relaxing among fellow fiberholics
. Retreat participants are welcome to stay after the workshop ends each day to take advantage of the glorious scenery and quiet atmosphere.
From Sunday, August 21- Monday, August 22, you will be immersed in blissful creativity,
along with bucolic scenery, great food and friendly company.
An additional day of relaxation will be available at no extra charge for all participants to return to the Salon North on Tuesday, August 23. Join us again to knit amidst rolling hills and glorious views. Travel with us to visit the beautiful and glorious yarn emporium at Colorful Stitches located in Lenox, Massachusetts in the heart of the Berkshires. One of the most beautiful yarn shops in the country, this charming shop is just 30 minutes from the Salon North and will host a special event and talk for Retreat attendees.
The Ethelridge Road Knitting Salon carries an array of beautiful and very special fibers as well as local, hand dyed yarns, and needles, tools and handmade knitting bags
And, of course, you'll love our Golden Road Honey from our own apiaries right here on our property.
