Prior to the retreat, each guest will be invited to join a private Discord channel where we can chat up our event. You can ask all the questions you want and get to know your fellow guests. For anyone in a double room that hasn’t met their roomie, you’ll also be set up to privately chat if you wish. We’ll talk packing and workshops, you can ask downtown Charleston questions, etc. You’ll also want to prepare for our get-to-know-you stitch marker swap if you have chosen to participate. Discord is optional, but it’s a lot of fun! It is also a great way for us all to stay in touch during the retreat during the few times we aren’t all together.

STAY COMFY

Sarah, Corey & Kristy are world-class creatives, and I couldn’t be more excited to have their invaluable skillsets as a part of your South Carolina experience. It may be tough for you to determine whether you’d rather be learnin’, beachin’ 🏝️ or simply sittin’ & knittin’. I’ve also curated our schedule so that you can enjoy lazy mornings as you wish—whether that’s sleeping in, knitting with coffee, enjoying the sunrise or looking for shark teeth. All workshops & experiences are included in your registration, but as I mentioned earlier, know that if you’d rather spend your time doing your own thing, go for it! There is no pressure on your time, just promise me you’ll relax and enjoy yourself each and every minute.

GOOD EATS

Charleston is a foodie town and we will be taking full advantage! you’ll love Chef Sarah’s cookin’ and downtown charleston has so many great spots you’ll be able to choose from. Your retreat fee includes all breakfasts/brunches & dinners at our house, along with plenty of snacks & non-alcoholic beverages. We will have a couple “bevvies” (local terminology for mixed-drink treats 🍹). When you register for the retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to share any allergies, dietary restrictions or food preferences so that we can accommodate you for every retreat meal. Lunches are on your own but if prior years are any indication, there will be plenty of leftover goodies to munch on, or your can eat out or order in.

WORKSHOPS & EXPERIENCES

When you arrive at the retreat, you’ll be guided to your room to get settled; there will also be a nametag on your door to make it easy. The house will be fully stocked with snacks & drinks in case you’re feeling hungry after your travel day. Unless you want to go to the store yourself (or you wish to pick up alcoholic beverages), I will make any necessary store runs to make sure you have what you need.
