May 16 - 19, 2024 | Knit for a Good Life | More Information

It’s that time again – LYS is announcing their third retreat at the picturesque Dao House nestled at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado. Unplug for three days (i.e., there is no cell or internet service) in an intimate gathering of fiber lovers to enjoy the community of others, majestic scenery, and expert instruction to find your happy place in knitting.

This year ergonomic expert Carson Demers (author of Knitting Comfortably) will lecture on ways to avoid bodily stress and strain during knitting and offer individual suggestions through small group classes. 

In addition, you’ll learn the fundamentals of yarn dyeing with Jennifer Miller of Theodora’s Pearls and then apply that knowledge in small groups to dye two skeins of yarn provided by Jennifer! You’ll also get one-on-one time with Ann Budd for help with an existing project or to discuss options for a future one.

The rest of time you can enjoy the camaraderie of other attendees, stroll the 84 acres of Rocky Mountain wilderness, or take advantage of the additional services offered at Dao House, including tai chi, horseback riding, bio mat therapy, foot soaks, and an oxygen lounge. Do as much or as little as you want.
