How fabulous that the retreat was on a farm, an idyllic venue. One day I’d love to be able to go to one. Glad you had such a wonderful and relaxing time.
What a beautiful video! You are a storyteller and your voice is magic. You took me along to this retreat in your video. Next time I'm visiting my family in northeastern OH I need to visit this shop in Shaker-- a 35 min drive. Thank you ❤
Thank you, Paula! I'll send you a picture on Instagram--one of your new bags is made from the same fabric that we used to recover our dining room chairs!
Wonderful retreat - I go on quilting retreats and all you said about the common interests and such, so true - I also am more of a beginner knitter and sadly we lost our yarn shop that I loved - will look for a local yarn group to join. Thank you for great Sunday morning with my coffee💕
What a wonderful retreat. Thank you for the info about the teachers and contributors. They help me as I relearn how to knit. Along that line, I found your video about the different yarn weights very helpful.
I can literally walk to Around the Table Yarns. It is a lovely shop. Hopefully I will keep better informed so I can do one of these retreats soon. Thanks sooo much for this info.😊 I am a Toni fan! Have her Tunisian Holiday Sampler Blanket on my afghan hook right now! Missed her😢!! Love Gigi too! Thank you! Thank you!
They are planning their next retreat for August of 2025 (I believe!). I'm also coming to the UK this summer (late July into August). My husband and I will be singing at Durham cathedral with a choir from the USA for a week, then visiting Scotland!
My goodness, I was THISCLOSE to coming to this retreat, this year! Next year, FOR SURE. Looked so wonderful! Thanks for sharing ☺️🧶🫶🏻. PS: hi from C-Bus!
This is a total disneyland for fiber artists. Thanks for sharing and making this beautiful video. Is there anyway I can learn about these wonderful retreats?
Absolutely! I think the shop that hosted this retreat plans to offer the same kind of experience once every year to 2 years. You can follow them and stay up to date at their website: www.aroundthetableyarns.com
Thank you so much, Mark, for sharing your weekend experience. I live in a sparsely populated area of the Texas desert, far from such opportunities. What a blessing!
Hi Mark. This was so much fun to watch. I loved the introduction of what’s to come on your episode. Your cats are beautiful. Does your husband knit? I arrived home to find my beautiful skein of yarn from you. Thank you. I will let you know when I decide what it wants to be! I would like to invite you to come to the P.E.I. fibre festival held the first weekend of October. It would be great to meet you and you are welcome to stay with us if you would like more of a local experience.
Wow, thank you, Debbie! Ned has learned how to knit and crochet, but he is not actively pursuing them as hobbies 😊 I would LOVE to visit PEI. I'll have to look into the dates and travel possibilities. Thank you for that beautiful offer!
I know that's what a lot of places do. Most of the retreats that I see or hear about are on a very large scale. I'm fortunate that my local shop puts on this style of retreat. However, I know it's something that they don't do every year because it takes so much planning and it can get expensive depending on what's included and where the retreat is held. I hope that you'll get the chance to attend something like it in the future 🙂
Next time, take me so I can sit and read. And pet and feed cows. And sleep and eat good food. And hang out with my favorite brother and his first husband :)

Thanks Mark, another beautiful episode, I really enjoyed the retreat, people, animals and fiber. I agree, it is a gift.

I'm so sorry that you lost your local shop! That is a hard situation. I'm glad you have the quilting retreats in your life!

What a wonderful gathering. Knitting is like a meditation for me. I would love to go on a retreat for crafting.
It really is! I wish I could do something like that every weekend 😁

Thank you for watching! You'll definitely have to join in for a future retreat. We were so lucky to have Toni and GG with us this time!
Lovely retreat Mark! The cows were adorable, as are your puss cats 🥰. Love as always, Pippa xxx
Thank you, Pippa! They all send their love!
@@MakerMarkKnits seriously considering another trip across the pond to do a retreat where you went, it looked so blissful xxx

Would like to be on such a retreat 😊! I don't think here in Austria exist such "community-adventures".

Thank you for watching! Hopefully we will both be there next year :) Happy crafting until then!

This looks like amazing trip 👍thanks for sharing 🤩🌻
Thank you so much for watching!
Hello from Swansea, Illinois. Love the tour. I have only been to one retreat and I enjoyed it and wish that I could attend another one soon.
Oh lovely! Thank you for taking the time to watch 🙂
Thank you so much, Mark, for sharing your weekend experience. I live in a sparsely populated area of the Texas desert, far from such opportunities. What a blessing!
I think your situation is true for so many! I hope that you're able to take a trip at some point to experience a crafting gathering!
What a wonderful retreat! Thanks so much for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place! Thank you so much for sharing.😃
Thank you for watching!
I just discovered your channel and this video has me wanting to do a retreat now! Commence researching the entire east coast.
Yay! I hope you find a good retreat to attend 🙂
That was such a calming video. Thanks you. It looks like a wonderful weekend, I really like the colours you used for your cowl.
Thank you! I'm happy with how the cowl turned out 😁
Thank you, very interesting and pleasurable to watch
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to watch 🙂

Thank You for this! It looked like wonderful retreat and the setting seemed so peaceful. Does your hubby enjoy yarn arts?
Thank you for watching! He appreciates them, but does not actively knit or crochet 😊
I have yet to hear of any retreats around my area. What they call a “retreat” is just come in and knit.
I know that's what a lot of places do. Most of the retreats that I see or hear about are on a very large scale. I'm fortunate that my local shop puts on this style of retreat. However, I know it's something that they don't do every year because it takes so much planning and it can get expensive depending on what's included and where the retreat is held.

You dress beautifully.
Oh thank you!
Next time, take me so I can sit and read. And pet and feed cows. And sleep and eat good food. And hang out with my favorite brother and his first husband :)
That's a deal! The cows were aggressive lickers...
But where’s cat 4?!
Mmm. Oowait, what?
Honestly, we might need a crane to lift her in.
😂😂 💀
Her time will come.
@@MakerMarkKnitsjustice for (formerly) little cat.
Oh i wont be there
