Brrr, it’s cold out there! I am so lucky to be going on a Caribbean cruise tomorrow, let alone a knitting cruise. I just finished the embarrassing task of trying on and packing my swimming suits and summer clothes. It’s been a while since anything but my face and hands have seen the sunlight! I hope to find the other winter-pale people on the ship, slathering on the spf 45 sunscreen for fear of melting at the first rays of sun!

Now I need to think about what knitting supplies to take aboard. These are the classes I’m signed up to take with Debbie Stoller and Shannon Okey:

  1. Slip Stitchin’ Away
  2. Bead It
  3. Felted Flowers
  4. No Plastic, Please bag
  5. Provisional Cast On
  6. Sea Socks

In another twist of good fortune, all the yarn is provided for these projects. So, what to pack? I don’t think I’m the type to bring all of my favorite finished objects to show off, nor do I think I’ll be bringing my Stitch ‘n Bitch books for autographs. Basically all I’ll need is a small bag to carry needles, notions, and one project.

I’ll be gone for 10 days, so please hang in there and check back on March 8th. I promise you some wonderful posts when I return, full of sunshine and knitting.

Until then, happy knitting!
