Yokes: Fall 2024 (September-November dates coming soon)
I’m delighted to team teach yoke construction with Elizabeth Doherty of Blue Bee Studio. Can’t attend her class at Squam? Join us in Petaluma.
No one is more meticulous and thoughtful about construction than Elizabeth and her yokes number among the few that truly respect every body. Come and learn the tips and tricks as we knit the gorgeous Squam Sweater together.
SPRING AND SUMMER FIELD TRIPS IN THE WORKS:

I invite you to join me on a visit with Sandy Wallace and her charming herd of alpacas on the West Marin coast overlooking Nicasio Reservoir. Details coming soon - newsletter subscribers are the first to know, so sign up here if you’re interested (and not already signed up!)
Flock Fiber Festival in Seattle: August 9-11, 2024
You have likely heard me raving on about how this is the best fiber festival and a must visit for anyone who is interested in meeting the most inspiring new artists. Jess from La Mercerie has the spirit and the will to curate the experience we have all been craving. I recommend without reservation! I am attending and happy to either produce my ‘list’ (as I did for Stitches West) or organize a more structured get together depending on your interests and desires. Let me know if you want to be kept up to date on any Flock related content by emailing gayle@pacificknittingretreats.com and use Flock Fiber Festival in the subject line.
South Bay Neighbours - Farms and Slow Fiber - Details coming soon
Shetlands in Santa Rosa - Details coming soon
Check back here for updates and/or sign up for the newsletter to hear all the details as soon as I have them.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND SUPPORT IN 2023!
AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALONG THE YARN WAY IN 2024.
