+ 1 or 2 FULL-TIME - staying off-site DAY GUESTS- here for the whole weekend from breakfast to bedtime - (not staying at TKH) - please note day guests do not miss out on the fun. Most DGs book a bed (just board) at the B&B across the road; they are still part of the magic, they just don't sleep here.

If you are interested in coming to be part of the magic please get in touch. We will send you the BOOKING FORM, T&Cs and RUNNING ORDER.

Hosts for the 3 day retreats are Belinda Harris-Reid and Brenda M. Watson + tea and cake, sea, luxury yarn, wonderful projects to make, laughter, wine, delicious food, knitting and more knitting + crochet and chat ... oh and paddling (if the sea is warm enough). Full board except for one night when you have the option of dinner (paid for by guest): either joining me (with 99% of guests)at The Ivy (in Exeter - short train ride away, take our knitting/crochet, chat and look out to sea and the estuary), go to a local bisrto or stay at TKH (maybe pop something in the microwave in our guest kitchen).

Selbu and more - Traditional Norwegian 'Selbu' mittens are popular with knitters around the world. Traditionally knitted in black and white wool featuring traditional Norwegian 'fair isle' patterns but these mittens can be worked in a variety of colours for a modern look. This workshop will teach you how to knit fair isle, how to knit in the round with a circular needle using the magic loop technique and how to shape your mittens. Techniques taught in this class can also be used to knit traditional Latvian and Estonian mittens. You will get a Selbu-inspired mitten pattern to take home. Suitable for adventurous beginners and intermediate knitters.
