Stick Season Stitches Knitting Retreat
November 13–15, 2026 · Old Stagecoach Inn
It’s time to unwind, both your yarn and yourself! Our 4th annual Stick Season Stitches retreat at Old Stagecoach Inn in Waterbury, VT, brings knitters together for a weekend of relaxation, community, fabulous food, and of course, knitting.
This year: Brioche!
You asked, we listened. Based on feedback from last year’s attendees, 2026’s project focuses on Brioche knitting. You know, that technique you’ve always wanted to try but felt a little intimidated by? Here’s your chance to learn it in a warm, supportive setting where mistakes are easy to fix, and long-term friendships are made.
More than a class
Stick Season Stitches is just as much about slowing down and connecting. Kick things off with a dessert and cocktail reception Friday evening, enjoy an optional spa treatment with w**e and cheese on Saturday, tour a local cheesemaker, and settle in for plenty of unhurried knitting time with good company.

Friday dessert & cocktail reception
Saturday lunch and Saturday evening w**e & cheese
Brioche technique class with ongoing coaching all weekend
Project materials (yarn and pattern)
Tour of a local cheesemaker
Souvenir yarn and swag
Optional: 50-minute spa service; choose a head, foot, or hand massage, or a facial with upper-body massage
