i’ve timed my first retreat during the short annual span in which knitting on the beach is truly enjoyable here in the south. temps are cool enough that our hands can create without getting sticky but not so cold that fingers freeze up. whether you’re curled up knitting in one of the dozens of cozy chairs inside our getaway home, stationed at the pool or on the beach right in your backyard, your view will be spectacular. if you’re anything like me, watching those waves crash into the sand is inexplicably relaxing. when i think about my favorite things to do, both knitting & being on the beach land near—if not at—the top of my list. bringing the pair together for stitch & beach has me !! so !! very !! excited!! this retreat is intended to bring you balance and spoil you rotten to eradicate any winter blues; I made sure to find the ideal set-up to enhance our stay. if you decide to put your needles down during the retreat, you’ll love being able to walk out the back door straight to the coastline, chat near the pool or explore the area without the heat that blankets much of the state for 8+ months each year.

the house

if someone had crawled into my brain to draw up plans for the quintessential beach getaway for knitters, they couldn’t have designed anything lovelier or more fitting than the home i’ve booked for us to spend our 5 nights together. each of my guests will be nestled into a fully updated oceanfront home located on isle of palms, sc. my vision for this retreat is to curate an inclusive community vibe with room for all of our exceptional personalities. whether you are energized by solitude or companionship, you’ll find it’s place here.

there’s something about shared spaces in a home that allows relationships to form and flourish, but with 6000 square feet inside, you will just as easily find a private nook anytime you’d like. there are three sizable living spaces with enough cozy seating for you and each of your projects to have their own spot. 😉 the spacious kitchen features multiple tables & bar-top seating; you will not be doing anything more than eating in that gorgeous kitchen, as your retreat meals will be both prepared and cleaned up for you. although the home boasts sleeping arrangements for 25, each of my guests will have their own bed, which is one reason why the number of retreat slots are so limited. a full bath is attached to each of the 10 bedrooms with additional half baths scattered around the shared spaces as well. i’ve already mentioned the pool and the beach, but there’s also a private walkway straight from our home to the sand. you’ll have to decide which of the three porch levels is your personal favorite after spending time on each one. these decks provide even more space & seating with that unbelievable view straight out into the ocean. you can look forward to being pampered amidst miles of ocean views: rejuvenation awaits.

the bedrooms

your bedRoom will be your personal haven throughout the retreat. pricing differences in the retreat fee are based on the size of the bed you reserve, the number of roomies you’ll have and the features of the room itself. the only difference in your retreat experience is where you choose to sleep. images of each bedroom and it’s attached bathroom are in the gallery below my descriptions. the remaining rooms available are below, although I have a waiting list form you can choose to join in case a registered guests has a change of plans and a slot to fill. available rooms are detailed below:
