The Retreat takes place just south of Seattle, in Dumas Bay, from August 29 - September 1, 2013. All the details are here.
From the website:
Due to the generosity of contributions from guys who have attended a Men's Knitting Retreat in the past, there will be at least two full scholarships available, including a travel stipend if needed by the recipient. This year we are offering one of these scholarships for a brand new knitter, someone who wants to learn to knit but has never picked up needles. These so called wirgins (wool virgins) will be assigned a fiber co-pilot to help get them started and keep them knitting the whole weekend. Of course, there will be a whole village of guys obsessed with fiber crafts there to teach and support. [...] Scholarship recipients will be selected from all the nominations by a panel of Men’s Knitting Retreat coordinators . DEADLINE FOR ENTERING IS May 30, 2013. The winner will be officially announced on June 14, 2013.

Nigel here from Vancouver - I've attended all four of the West Coast retreats at Dumas Bay. (The first was in San Francisco and I hadn't yet heard about the retreats.) It is one of the highlights of my year - the opportunity to knit with (or crochet with) 40 or more other men is wonderful. I was in fact the first person to register for the 2013 retreat when it was posted. It would be great to have more Canadians represented. At the moment there are three of us who attend regularly (and we are all registered for this fall, too.) A little competition happened two years ago - Cheese snacks were brought, eaten with chopsticks (so as not to stain our hands for knitting) and Canadian Hawkins Cheezies won hands down as the best cheesy snack). And remember - Dumas Bay is only three hours or so from Vancouver - (not counting border times, of course.) Come join us, men of Great Balls of Wool.
