Cruising and knitting in Alaska
What’s on your calendar for early September? On Saturday, September 3 I fly out to Seattle and prepare to board Holland America line’s S.S. Oosterdam for a weeklong cruise to Alaska, September 4 – 11. This is my first cruise, and I get to travel with my husband who’ll be reading and relaxing between shore excursions. For me, that between time will be filled with knitting classes. Jared Flood and I are each teaching classes on this tour organized by Melissa of Craft Cruises.
Also joining us will be a host or two assigned to help us learn the ropes and find the yarn and fiber shops along the way. We have a nice bunch of knitters already signed up to join us, but there may be room for just a couple more of you. Read about the details in this recent newsletter, or at the Craft Cruises website, where you can sign up.
Join your cruising mates at Churchmouse Yarns & Teas, The Weaving Works, and Tricoter the day before sailing. Special events and discounts are planned.
I’ll be guiding you along in your learning in the following workshops:
Magic Loop Toe Up Socks
Cast Ons for Castaways
Holey Squares Scarf
Convert to Continental Knitting
Continental Knitting- Going Farther Faster, a continuation to solidify your skills and learn more knitting maneuvers.
And, Our Favorite Things, an information-packed class of tips and discoveries taught by both Jared and me.
I can’t wait.
