More Than Just Knitting
Real Connection
Spend a few days with guys who get it. Share projects, trade techniques, and make friends who'll still be texting you pattern links a year from now.
Learn Something New
Workshops are led by fellow participants, and there's always someone happy to sit with you and untangle a problem. Total beginners and seasoned experts learn side by side.
Time to Recharge
Our retreats are held in beautiful, peaceful settings. Knit on the porch, take a walk in the woods, or just enjoy a long weekend with nothing on your to-do list but your next row.
Never Been to a Retreat? Start Here.
Most guys arrive at their first retreat not knowing a soul and leave with a whole new group of friends. If cost is what’s holding you back, the Millard Fontenot Memorial Scholarship Fund exists to help. It’s there to encourage those who support the men’s fiber community.
