Myself and @lyndascraftroom took a trip to cranage hall today, the weather was stunning. We met with the events manager there to finalise our requirements and make sure the weekend is absolutely perfect. And it will be! The estate itself is just lovely, pure luxury, green trees all around
The event starts from 5pm, guests will be greeted with a glass of prosseco, because people might be arriving in drive and drabs the first evening meal will be a hot and cold buffet, we’ll then go into our first workshop the workshop (perhaps toft!!) is going to be held in a gorgeous room which will be filled with comfortable sofas and a blazing fire!
On Saturday morning after breakfast we will Continue with our workshop, after lunch (in the restaurant) we will have a workshop hosted by the very lovely Eleonora from @coastalcrochet Eleonora will be designing a pattern especially for The Crochet Sanctuary!
During the event we’ll have pastries and cake, and unlimited refreshments

If only! I shan’t be having any exciting adventures like that this year, but going to a knitting or crochet retreat is on my list of things to do. (When I don’t have a car and a fridge breaking within a week of each other!)
