🌭 🍺 🧶 Chibeck Registration Now Open!

I’m seriously SO EXCITED to share with you that registration is open for our Chibeck weekend!

This idea was making lemonade of out lemons - we had to cancel our Knitting & Natural Dyeing Retreat because we weren’t getting the registrations. I was already planning on being back in the US for that weekend, so why not kick off our Road to Rhinebeck a week early and host classes, knit nights, and other events throughout the weekend!

So like 1000 emails later - we’ve got Chibeck ready to release, and spots are already filling up!

I’m breaking them down in chronological order here! Please hit reply if you have any questions! I can’t wait to see you in October!
