MOONTIDE Knitting Retreat 2012

June 2nd - 9th 2012  at Surfside in Wellfleet, Cape Cod

Pre-registration available!  A $100 deposit reserves your spot but is refundable up to November 15th!

This retreat is already mostly full!  Attendees enjoy it so much that they typically reserve their spot for the next year while they are attending the current year.  Don't delay in reserving your spot.

Join us for a fabulous week spent with fellow knitters in beautiful, serene Wellfleet, Cape Cod. Focus on your knitting and enjoy a lovely beach vacation at the same time. Classroom time is mixed with free time for vacation activities and show/share/knit in the evenings. We stay right by the ocean, in a group of cottages which back up to the National Seashore, the same ones we've been enjoying for years.

 

Our topic for 2012 will focus on an original design whose inspiration and details will be kept secret until the first day of the retreat!  The subject will be "putting color in your lacework". Students will complete three small projects in class that domonstrate three techniques.  They will also begin and work on their retreat project shawls.  The pattern for the retreat project shawl will be exclusively available only to the retreat attendees and is a strictly kept secret until the first day of the retreat!  You'll advance both your technical skills and your ability to translate your creativity into a knittable piece. There will be approximately 18 hours of instruction at our large, comfortable library classroom and an additional 9 hours provided via three mini-classes (lace topics not directly related to the primary project) at our main cabin.

 

CABINS We rent cabins in Surfside Cottages www.surfsidevacation.com (not roughing it, these are comfortable small houses). We share housekeeping, food shopping, and cooking with cabin mates.  All cabins have one bath, a fully equipped kitchen, heat, clock radios, telephone, and blankets. Most cabins have 2 bedrooms with queen or full beds and one with two twin beds. Most cabins require the ability to navigate stairs, a few have no stairs. You will need to bring: sheets and towels, food (stores are expensive in the village and the nearest supermarket is ˝ hour away), perhaps a small fan, lawn chair or bike if desired. All indoor spaces in Wellfleet are non-smoking by law.

 

THE TOWN Wellfleet has it all when it comes to water—ocean (Surfside is right on the ocean), kettle ponds and the bay. The National Seashore Park takes up 1/3 of the town and is free from development. Sand roads throughout offer endless nature walks. The paved bike trail winds through on the old railroad bed. The village itself is known as a gallery town. There is a marvelous flea market on Sat & Sun and several antique stores. Provincetown is 20 minutes away for serious arty shopping and other cultural activities including whale watching.

   

 

COPYRIGHT I do not copyright my class handouts other than the project book or anything discussed or taught in class—I WANT you to share. But not everyone feels as I do. If you are protective of your ideas and patterns it is not fair to discuss them and then expect fellow knitters to remember not to pass them on.

 

GETTING THERE Wellfleet is 2.5 hours from Boston airport and about the same from Providence RI. Figure about 1 hour after you cross the canal.  Arrival time is Sat in the afternoon.  Departure is Sat in the morning.

 

COST Classes (approximately 30 hours) are $375. The lodging for a single occupancy room is $400. The lodging for a shared bedroom with single beds is $275 each person ($550 for the room) but both room mates must book at the same time.  I will do my best to place you as you instruct on a first-come-first-served basis.  If you wish to stay elsewhere there is a $75 classroom fee.

 

RESERVATIONS To reserve your spot e-mail me (MOONRISELaceKnitting@rcn.com) with the following information and follow with a deposit (snail mail or I can send you a paypal invoice).  Please make a copy for your information. A letter will go out confirming your registration and with more detailed information. Registration requires a $300 deposit.  There are currently two places still available.

 

I need to know:  Name, Address, E-mail, Phone number, Queen or Twin Room?, Alone or Share?, If sharing, the name of your roommate, and finally, any special considerations or requests.

 

E-mail questions or concerns. If you do not get a response it means my computer is giving me trouble. Call (484) 350-3022.
