In this video, I’m taking you along with me to a knitting & crochet retreat hosted by A Modern Yarn. It’s very much a “come with me” style vlog where the whole point is the experience—getting out of the usual routine, being surrounded by other yarn people, and soaking up that cozy, creative energy that’s honestly hard to describe unless you’ve been in a room full of makers. Retreats like this are such a reset for me, because I get to focus on the joy of making without the usual distractions. Even without diving into specific projects or products, the big takeaway here is what a retreat does for your creativity and your mindset. Being able to chat yarn, see what other people are working on, and just be in that community space is genuinely therapeutic. If you’ve ever wondered whether a knitting or crochet retreat is “worth it,” I hope this gives you a feel for the vibe and why I love experiences like this—especially when they’re hosted by a yarn shop that really understands makers.
