What a wonderful group! 💕

Here’s the fantastic bunch from Carol Feller's Signature Retreat!. A fabulous group who shared so many special moments, plenty of laughter and, of course, lots of knitting along the way.🧶

It was such a pleasure helping Carol bring this special tour experience to life for her followers. From start to finish, it was a trip full of wonderful memories, new friendships and those little moments that make a journey truly unforgettable.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us - what a fabulous group! 🥰

Just look at this! 😍

A moment captured from the coach on our Scotland & Shetland private tour last week.

As beautiful as the scenery is, it’s the people you meet, the experiences you share and the emotions along the way that make a trip truly unforgettable.

And honestly… words can’t quite do it justice. They really can’t. ❤️

ONE SPOT has just become available on our sold out Knit Wild Atlantic Way tour in May 2027!

Just one little space waiting for someone to say:

“Yep. That’s the one. I’m coming.” 😍

Think wild Atlantic scenery, fabulous yarn, plenty of knitting, good craic, new friends and enough woolly goodness to make your suitcase question its life choices. 😂🧶

Once this spot is gone… it’s gone.
No secret stash.
No emergency extra seat.
No “surely you can squeeze me in?” 😜

So… who wants it? 👀

📩 Message us before somebody else gets their needles on it!

PROJECT FINISHED! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Gloria who managed to finish her project during one of our recent knitting tours! 👏

There’s something incredibly satisfying about that final stitch - especially when you’ve been working on a project while travelling, exploring new places and enjoying the company of fellow knitters.

We absolutely LOVE seeing what our knitters create on tour. ❤️

Well done, Gloria! We hope you’re feeling very proud of this one. 🧶✨
