WHAT THIS IS
Three nights of knitting, rest,
and nothing you have to do.
This is not a workshop. There are no skills to hit, no projects to finish, no pressure to produce anything. It's three nights in a beautiful house in the Cotswolds with a group of knitters, a host and a private chef who handle everything else.
"I know what chronic exhaustion does to a body. I've seen it in patients, and I've felt it myself. I built this because in our busy lives, we don't have time to look after ourselves. I wanted to create a space where people could do that through a hobby they love."
- Dr Kate Ruttley, founder, Casual Knit Club

THE VENUE
ARC Painswick,
Gloucestershire.
A beautifully appointed private house in the village of Painswick. Well looked after, properly comfortable, and genuinely lovely. The village is quiet, the countryside is walkable, and the whole area feels a long way from everyday life.
YOUR HOST
Dr Kate Ruttley
DOCTOR · KNITTER · FOUNDER OF CASUAL KNIT CLUB
Kate practised medicine before founding Casual Knit Club. She built this retreat around something she understood clinically and knew personally: the case for rest is real, and most of us aren't getting enough of it.
Kate will be sitting there with her own project, same as you. Three days of knitting, chatting, and actually switching off together.
