We are working on some exciting plans for this years knitting retreat at Hotel Nestor. We still have a few details to fix before we can open registration, but wanted to give you a heads up so that you can save the date!
The retreat will take place on the beautiful Island of Korpo on 10-11.5.2025 and even this time you have a change to start the retreat weekend already on Friday if you wish!
