CH Country House Retreat
After the wonderful time we had in Cumbria in March, we decided straight away that we wanted to go back and knit in the lovely Eden Valley again. And rather than wait until next year we thought we would have a retreat this autumn to celebrate the beginning of knitting season! We also thought it would be nice to have a weekend retreat for people who couldn’t manage during the week. And it was so beautiful in the spring that we thought we would do the same format just before Edinburgh Yarn Festival again next year as well!!
The following dates are confirmed:
Autumn Retreat 2016
Thursday 20 – Sunday 23 October 2016
Spring Retreat 2017
Monday 6 – Thursday 9 March 2017
