Oh dear! We have just had not one, but four, cancellations for Louisa Harding’s celebrated Knitting and La Bella Vita week at the Watermill this May. Due to family illness, four friends who were coming together can no longer make it. It’s the way of the world, of course, and we are sorry for our erstwhile guests’ troubles.
We still have eight knitters booked in (and one non-knitting partner), so the course will definitely go ahead. If you’d like to join us, please click here for more information.
Louisa Harding is a celebrated knitter, designer and yarn producer. She worked for many years as an ‘in-house’ designer for Rowan Yarns. Louisa has her own yarn brand Yarntelier, which specialises in Yorkshire spun Cashmere as well as designing and selecting yarns for her eponymous yarn line, Louisa Harding Yarns. Among the projects for her week here is a beaded lace edge cowl where you can draw on colours, textures and designs in the Tuscan countryside and incorporate them in your knitting.
And as ever, your knitting week at the Watermill will combine expert tuition, like-minded company, wonderful food and the delightful ambience of the Watermill, it’s gardens and riverside walks, and outings into the surrounding unspoiled Tuscan countryside of Lunigiana.
As one guest said: “Just returned from wonderful first visit to the Watermill for a fabulous week of knitting with Louisa Harding. Perfect in every way – in fact I have just booked again for next year.” Another said: “We had so much fun, meeting new friends and laughing more than we have in ages.”
Everything is included in the cost of your holiday at the watermill: tuition, accommodation, pre-dinner aperitifs, all meals and wines (including outings to charming local restaurants) and all local transportation (including transfers to Pisa airport and an excursion by train to Lucca or the Cinque Terre).
And you will be Cool and Green: all our rooms are air-conditioned, powered by hidden photovoltaic panels which make us self-sufficient in electricity.
