Enjoy the picturesque surroundings or explore Boothbay Harbor as you receive personalized instruction for the knitting project of your choice, including customizing for a perfect fit. Donna Kay (https://www.facebook.com/knitterspinner/ and https://www.ravelry.com/designers/Donna-Kay)  will select a sweater, though tour choice of another sweater or shawl is certainly an option! You can also bring something you have underway and want Donna’s help to move forward. Bring a couple of projects that need a little clarification!

Enjoy lunch or dinner at their Pub (not included in price of retreat) or drive to Robinson’s Wharf for a fresh seafood dinner. Make sure you take advantage of the heated saltwater pool and the outside spaces to sit and relax or visit some of the quaint shops in Boothbay.
