Catalina Island Knitting & Crochet Retreat

Take a short ferry ride to Catalina Island and settle into Hillside Cabanas — a private perch above Descanso Beach Club with Pacific views, where you'll spend the day knitting or crocheting while a beach butler brings smoothies and popsicles. Our experts are on hand for troubleshooting or just good conversation, whether you're new to the craft or decades in. It's a slow, unhurried day built for sunshine, ocean air, and good company with your hands busy.

Loose Ends: A Fiber Retreat for the Crochet Curious

Spend three days at the Carlsbad Inn diving into the crochet techniques, tips, and "aha" moments that often get skipped when you first learn the craft — with guided classes, hands-on workshops, an open help session, and evening firepit stitching, plus shared meals and free time to relax, shop, and stitch. Whether you're a crocheter ready to fill in the gaps or a knitter who knows a stitch or two and wants to go further, this retreat meets you where you are. Workshops are optional, so you can dive into every session or simply soak in the coastal setting and good company.
