A FEW SPACES LEFT FOR KNITALY 08, a TUSCAN KNITTING ADVENTURE

Tuscan Tiles Vest on Bridge

REASONS FOR JOINING ME IN TUSCANY THIS OCTOBER:

•  A fun and challenging knitting project  (Tuscan Tiles vest above) complete with a kit using Fiesta specially-dyed silk and silk blend yarns in a choice of two colorways
• Stimulating workshops that will inspire you to new knitting heights
• Great food, Tuscan-style, which means simple and delicious (most food included)
• Six nights in a Tuscan castle tucked away on a cedar-rimmed hillside overlooking a lush valley
• Four nights in a lovely B&B in the heart of Florence, a cultural center for art and history for centuries with guided tours of the Uffizi gallery and Florence's center by one of the city's best guides, plus:
• Siena
• Volterra
• Cortonna
• San Giamigno and more!
• Visits to Italian yarn stores, some of which are known only to insiders
• Shopping!
• A visit to a cashmere farm where you can not only buy the yarn but meet the creators on the hoof
• in other words, a trip perfect for knitters and the people who love them (* we have men coming, too)

Plus:

Spectacular Sunsets

Like-minded companions who knit for breakfast

Breath-taking Views
