Karen is working through logistics to create a Nova Scotian Crochet and Scenic Adventure with The Crochet Crowd, possibly for Summer 2025. We, and our closest friends, live in the heart of Nova Scotia and have the knowledge to go off the beaten tourist path to show you what the Maritimes is all about.
Registeration will launch between mid-November and December 2024.
Before you get too excited, all of this is preliminary, and we are looking only to fill a bus. You will be travelling with Mikey, Karen, and me as we give you a taste of Nova Scotia. The size of the group is dependent on the bus and the maximum size a place can handle. It will be between 40 and 50 people, including our leadership team.
Accessibility
- You need to be able to transport your luggage.
- It would be best to be mobile to handle stairs, uneven surfaces or hills.
- You will need to be able to get on and off a bus.
- Some access to the beaches or destinations may require climbing up and down slopes and significant stairways.
Goals
- 5 to 7 days summer Nova Scotian Experience.
- The goal of this trip is to stay put for at least two days in one location before moving on.
- Everyone will travel together, regardless of where they are from. Even if you are local to us, you must stay with the group and use the lodging we will set up.
- Our beaches on the north side tend to be rocky. You need to be able to navigate over the rocks or gravel.
- Exclusive tour of The Crochet Crowd operations within Mikey's personal space. We have to clean the damn house.
- The tour may include whale watching, which requires you to be able to get on and off the boat(s).
- Shopping.
- Sightseeing.
- Lodging.
- Food.
- Independent yarn shopping.
- Include Swag.
- Mystery crochet project to create your souvenir to stitch as you go.
- Campfire with PuppiDawg and Salti (weather and fire restrictions permitting for fire.
- I am crocheting in the park and cooking out - possibly musicians - aka Michael & Diva Dan's private home.
- Wine Experience (or non-alcohol).
- We may stop for make-n-takes with friends of ours in different genres.
- We will rent a bus and take you from place to place as a group.
Every Friday, late afternoon, a group of friends in the Village of Greenwich, where we live, get together at Benjamin Bridge Winery. It's just a few minutes from our home. We enjoyed the staff there and the ambiance of the Gaspeareau Valley environment. All of our friends are members of this winery, as there is so much value. As members, we can use the meeting room for stitch socials but in the summer, you will want to be outside and smell the fresh air.
People from all over the world come to Nova Scotia for the maritime experience. We would like to show you.
While Nova Scotia is a small province, touring the entire province is not realistic from a genuine point of view, as it is difficult to immerse yourself in the Maritimes.
If this interests you, it may be in the summer of 2025. My neighbour and friend Karen are working through an itinerary and contacting people we know for immersive interactive experiences. We are going off the beaten path to show you Nova Scotia from a local point of view.
When the pop up shows up for our website, be sure to subscribe or keep an eye open for our events page.
Our most prominent goal is not to rush you. Let you take in the ocean air, hear the birds and waves, and immerse yourself in our home province.

I’m in when I have a few more details (price, etc). Enjoyed the Christmas Market cruise last year with both of you so it would be great fun.

How fun! I’m in!

I’ve had to miss out on previous trips because of family commitments. This one is to an area I’ve always wanted to visit. My husband and I had it on our bucket list for when the kids were older and could be left alone. Sadly, he died many decades ago, and I’ve never had an opportunity to go to Nova Scotia. It would be great to team a desired trip with my favorite activity – crocheting.
