What better way to spend a wintery weekend then snuggled up with some gal pals, knitting around a fire with a hot cup of cocoa and a cocktail!
Treat yourself to a weekend away in a luxury cabin in the woods! We’ll be around to help you with any knitting project you bring, and we’ll also have some other crafts on hand so you can mix it up a bit (only if you want to!). Catered meals, hand crafted cocktails, a fire in the fireplace, a dip in the hot tub, and a wood fired pizza oven party will round out your weekend. It doesn’t get much better than that!
