Friday thru Sunday, January 26 - 28, 2007
Cost: $256 - Minimum deposit of $100 due with registration form. Limit 24 knitters.
The Retreat begins Friday with a supper at 5:30, served by Du Nord in their dining hall, and ends Sunday with Lunch. Plan to arrive about 4:00. We'll be knitting in the Morning Glory Program Center that looks out over Burntside Lake from its hilltop perch.
The theme for our retreat is Hats .... Hats - old and new - to keep or give
| ... "Hello!" "Hello!" "Do you like my hat?" "I do not." "Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" ... "Do you like my hat?" "I do not like it." ... "Do you like my hat?" "I do not like that hat." ... |
... Quoted from "Go, Dog. Go!" (Jacob, our 5-year-old grandson is learning to read!) |
We'll bring out a lot of shop yarn,
needles and books for sale at our usual 10% retreat discount.
If you have questions or comments, call me at the shop (best between noon and
5:00 pm) 218-365-6613.
Camp Du Nord
From Ely, drive a mile east on Hwy. 169, turn left/north on Hwy. 88, drive 2.5 miles and turn right/north on the Echo Trail. Drive about 12 miles up the Echo Trail, turn left/west on the North Arm Road and drive about three miles to the Pine Pointe Village sign on the left. Follow the drive up and over the hill, then down past the Morning Glory Program Center and closer to Burntside Lake to the cabins.
Lunch and supper will be served by Du Nord in their new dining hall, which is just over half a mile further down the main road. (Often we walk, but we can also get a ride.) Breakfasts in your cabins. Bring your own breakfast food including coffee and tea, paper toweling, hand and dish soap, dishcloth and dish towels, foil, plastic wrap, and water for drinking and coffee/tea making (the water at Du Nord has an odor and taste). Your cabin kitchen will have a coffee maker, refrigerator, stove and microwave. Bring your own pillow and bedding or sleeping bag. (There are queen and twin beds with some needing extra length bedding) Also bring towels, soap, a flashlight, and your swim suit for the sauna. Some knitters bring an Ott light. Remember your camera - the views are beautiful through the snow covered trees and across the lake beyond, or the birds and frost crystals on the branches nearby. Bring warm clothes. We will have a massage therapist available.
We make a big effort to help ensure that everyone in every cabin or room gets a good night sleep at our retreat. If someone snores a lot, most other people do not sleep. Kindly let us know if you are not a quiet sleeper and we'll try to make the best possible arrangements. We've done several winter retreats at Du Nord, as well as one fall retreat there. Come join us for a weekend of knitting, sharing, learning, hanging out with old friends and making new ones, do some hiking, x-c skiing, a sauna, and get a half hour or hour massage. We're looking forward to seeing you at the retreat.
