There’s fun in my future

This weekend I’m going on another cruise! It’s on the Dawn Princess and it cost $60! OK, so it’s for a total of 15 hours and I’m sharing a cabin with my knitting buddy Marsha, her husband, and 27 year old son. We sail from Seattle to Vancouver. What the heck, good food, good company, what’s to complain about?

But wait, there’s more. I’m taking the train to Seattle after work on Thursday and Marsha is taking me on a yarn crawl on Friday. There is lots of fun in my future.

Img_0163What will I take along to knit? Marina requires her own suitcase so she’s being left behind. The lucky winner is Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style. It’s my new entrelac project in Noro Silk Garden. This one is destined for my office, for those times that the air conditioning feels more like refrigeration.

    Oh wow! Sounds like a great deal of fun! Is Marsha taking you to Acorn Street? If so, you’re in for a real treat. It’s my favorite yarn shop in Seattle (Weaving Works being a close second). They have such an outstanding selection – have fun!! And tell Marsha “hey” for me!

    Could I get information on that cruise. That is financially doable – sometimes. I won’t go this weekend, but would like to know about it, just the same.
