Oh wow! I am so excited to share this. The official knitxmidwest website is up! In case you're not sure what I'm talking about, knitxmidwest is going to be a super fun knitting party that my friends at Hill Vintage are organizing (and I am helping out with, as well.) It's a weekend fiber arts retreat, if you will. And the perfect opportunity to create and bond with other fiber artists in the area. It's pretty much going to be an amazing weekend that you won't want to miss.
The beautiful Walnut Woods Lodge in Walnut Woods State Park here in Des Moines, Iowa will be home to knitxmidwest, sure to provide a lovely fall setting for our knitting fun. Check out the event schedule here – which includes plenty of knitting time, show and tell, spinning demonstrations, knitting yoga, stashbusting, knitting and crochet help and lunch catered by a local favorite, Tacopocalypse. The retreat fee covers lunch on Saturday and Sunday, snacks, beverages (coffee, water, tea, mimosas) and entry into a drawing for a grand prize and other door prizes.
Stay with friends and meet up with fellow knitters after hours for dinner, drinks or more knitting in the hotel's gorgeous lobby or bar area. Hyatt Place is a contemporary hotel in the heart of downtown Des Moines, within walking distance of several local dining/nightlife hot spots, including: Splash, Court Avenue Restaurant and Brewing Company, Fong's Pizza, Hessen Haus, Centro, Alba, Django, House of Bricks, Spaghetti Works, Raccoon River Brewing Co. and Zombie Burger. It's also a hop, skip and a jump away from Hill Vintage & Knits – join us for wine/dessert and shopping on the night of November 2.
