You are invited to the 4th Annual Baskets of Yarn Winter Retreat March 5-9, 2009 at the Broyhill Inn, Boone, NC
We have just returned from the fabulous 2008 Winter Retreat and we are already working on the 2009 Winter Retreat!!! This is an event not to be missed! Four (or five) days of knit, crochet, and fiber art fun with Baskets of Yarn! Join us as we will escape into our own world of fiber fun for a long weekend!
AGAIN in 2009...The 4th night will be a night of pampering and relaxation! Classes will conclude Sunday at noon, but you will be able to stay one additional night and enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant in Boone, you will be treated to a massage in the afternoon, a relaxing dinner in the evening, time to relax and work on porjects started during the retreat and enjoy visiting with your new fiber friends! After breakfast on Monday you can enjoy one last morning of breakfast and knitting at the Broyhill and then make your way back down the mountain. And...you never know what surprises we will have in store for everyone who stays the extra night. In 2008 it was a special late night sale...hmmm...what will Betsey think of for 2009?!?!
Registration fee includes: Overnight accommodations at the Broyhill Inn, classes of your choice, materials for each class (yarn, patterns and instructions), all meals, yoga, massage and a special gift package!
In addition to fabulous fun and classes, we will also have a "mini-store" on-site with great sale prices for all retreat participants!
We hope you will join us for this exciting 4th annual Baskets of Yarn Winter Retreat!
All class reservations will be made on a first come first paid basis, so register early!!!
Classes for the 2009 Winter Retreat will be announced later this year! See the schedule below for the 2008 schedule...
If you are thinking about joining us, but you live far away...book a flight into Charlotte, NC on Thursday morning by 11am and out again on Sunday or Monday after 3pm and we will help you find a ride with a local knitter heading up the mountain. This is a great way to get to know some of the other participants for the weekend!
Also, if you would like to come and room with someone to save a little money and make a new friend, but not sure who that someone is, let us know and we will match you up with someone for the weekend. Just let us know when you register!
We will be opening up registration to past participants April 1, 2008 and space available to new participants May 1, 2008.
