A Tapestry of Men

I’ve written a lot about the magic of the men’s knitting retreats, so I’ll just post about this year’s retreat without too much gushing…but it was amazing.

Other Retreats
Currently, there are two other retreats open for registration, and they’re both amazing as well:

2012 Men’s Rocky Mountain Knitting Retreat

2012 Men’s Fall Knitting Retreat
