Knitting Getaway
Shakerag Workshops opens its June sessions with a three-day Knitting Getaway, hosted by Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner of Modern Daily Knitting in conjunction with Shakerag.
Course Description
Session I of Shakerag Workshops, our Knitting Getaway, will be a true getaway: a few wonderful days for knitters to gather in Sewanee on the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee campus to enjoy good food, beautiful natural surroundings, and each other. There will be many different things to do: participants can knit and hang out, eat and drink, hike through Shakerag Hollow, swim in our pristine lake, do yoga - and enjoy a variety of short classes.
Each participant will do all of these things, any of these things, or perhaps, none of these things – exactly as you wish. The one constant will be relaxation and knitting in the company of other knitters, including Ann and Kay.
2024 Knitting Getaway Faculty
All of our Knitting Getaway class teachers will be announced at a later date, but three whom we know are coming are Lorilee Beltman, Samantha Brunson and Fatimah Hinds. Lorilee designs pieces with interesting geometry or seamless construction, and is a tent camper and National Parks fan. Samantha is the founder of BobbleClubHouse.com, a knitting and crafting blog that chronicles the crafting community with stories from a diverse group of makers. Fatimah is a Vancouver based knitting designer known for her inventive textures and constructions.
