We’ll start the week with an introduction to colorful knitting and the techniques that reveal its creative possibilities, followed by hands-on colorwork exercises where you’ll explore palette selection for intricate knitting, learn about color dominance and discover practical tools and techniques for testing color combinations. After the introductory classes, we dive into an in-depth project: Midsummer Socks, inspired by Maaike's very popular Midsummer sweater for Laine Publishing’s bestseller 'The Art of The Sea'. Additionally, you’ll also learn clever shortcuts and techniques, from transformative finishing methods to garment fit and shaping. Powerful tips that can make a major difference in your projects.

Sunday: Arrival, orientation and welcome dinner.

Monday to Friday: A curated program of classes, activities and relaxation time. Expect to improve your knitting skills, enjoy a couple of journeys into the Provencal countryside, and enjoy a wine or two. The formal plan for the week will be adjusted based on the projected weather and will be provided to you on arrival. Sit back and let us take care of the planning for you (you deserve it!) We will send you a packing list so that you know what to bring in order to maximise your learning and enjoyment.

Saturday: Farewell breakfast and goodbye.
