This November, Rhode Island-based knitting instructor and knitwear designer Marny Kindness is organizing a three-day knitting retreat in spooky Salem, Massachusetts, through her newly-launched company, Explore Knitting Tours.
The group will visit historical and cultural attractions, including the Salem Witch Museum and Peabody Essex Art Museum. There will also be knitting classes to help you get a head start on your holiday knits. Lodging is at the luxurious Salem Waterfront Hotel, which is close to downtown attractions and around the corner from a local yarn shop, Circle of Stitches.
Hotel, admissions, knitting classes, two dinners and two breakfasts are included in the cost of the retreat, which takes place from November 22-24.
Crystal of Factory Girl Designs has opened preorders for the Factory Girl Fall Maker’s Box. It includes exclusive knitting and crochet patterns with coordinating hand-dyed yarn and a selection of Crystal’s favorite items. Meet your fellow makers through a KAL/CAL with prizes.
Trish of Yarn Jam has restocked her shop with Shaniko and Shaniko Tweed spinning fiber, which is a cross between U.S. Merino and Rambouillet. The fiber has the softness of Merino with the plump feel of Rambouillet.
