Catherine Simpson will speak and our Knit Factor Fashion Show will take place after dinner at The Vineyard on Saturday evening.
Knitting happens in all available spaces and in between massages by registered massage therapist and paramedic, Stacey Brown, who travels to our retreat from Ontario.
Great knitting locations are the hot tub, on the trail to the summit of Mount Currie, and in front of the lodge fireplace preferably in your sheep pajamas.
