There have been rumblings (okay, I’ve blabbed already because I’m really excited) but in case you have not heard the news, here it is…

this winter VIOLA is hosting a weekend retreat and workshop at our headquarters in Mooresburg! We chose the weekend of February 6th to 9th in the hope that you will experience some deep winter snow and because it is the very same weekend that we shot the photos for Knits About Winter two years ago!

Join us on this special weekend to experience the place and the season that inspired Knits About Winter. Cold, quiet and (I think) especially beautiful, winter in Mooresburg is a magical opportunity. Each day and each moment is uniquely wonderful and as we explore the winer landscape together, opportunity for inspiration will grow and evolve. Bring together for the weekend will allow time to work through an in-depth yet laid back version of Discovering a Knitted Palette. For the course description, click here.
