What's Included
Retreat at the Compass Centre
Thursday night through Sunday morning knitters will experience the peace and tranquility of Mt Calm, Texas at the Compass Centre. This inclusive retreat includes meals and personal crafting space, in a group setting.
The retreat includes dinner Thursday evening, lunch and dinner Friday and Saturday, and brunch Sunday morning. Light breakfast options like toast and yogurt are available, but you are welcome to bring your own breakfasts, as refrigerator and freezer space is available for your use.
The Compass Centre is a lovely building that hosts retreats for crafters of all stripes. Staff keeps the property in great shape, and provides high quality meals for attendees, but it is not a hotel. Attendees will need to bring their own personal pillow and pillowcase, and will share a room with up to 3 other attendees. Each person will have their own bed that has comfortable sheets and a cozy quilt.
Your crafting space is comprised of three 3-foot tables, a cushioned office chair, and a full set of outlets to power or charge any devices that you'd like to use during your weekend. There will be ample time between classes to enjoy socializing and working on projects independtly.
Raglan Bootcamp With Meghan Fernandes
Meghan's Bootcamp takes the straightforward raglan-sleeve pullover as a blank canvas and walks you through all the ways to make it your own. Like our bookReady Set Raglan(included with the workshop), we'll walk through blueprints for 8 distinct raglans and coach you through choosing perfect-for-you necklines, hemlines, ribbing, stitch textures, and fancy raglan increases.
We’ll also go over the basic structure of a top-down raglan sweater and talk about how increases work to create the classic yoke. We’ll talk about simple increases and their appearance and benefits, and then move on to fancier increases like cables, lace and the Estonian flower motif. We’ll also consider how to substitute an increase in an existing sweater pattern.
