Do you like big, big boats?

I do. So when Patricia Babischkin [of Cruise Planners] asked me -- thanks to a connection made by Mama E -- asked if I'd like to join her and her guests on the 2008 Sea Socks cruise to Alaska, can you imagine how long I hesitated? Yup, barely a millisecond.

Well, details are now finalized, and guess what: we have another cool cruiser coming along with us. Are you sitting down? Brenda Dayne. Yes, you read right. The patron saint of knitting is coming from across the sea to sail with us! She and I will both be teaching classes, and there's way more going on than I even know about.

You can find full details here -- or if you're really keen, just call the lovely Patricia at 888-286-9827.

We sail May 9, 2008, from Seattle for 7 days aboard Celebrity's Infinity, with stops in Victoria, Ketchikan and Juneau. I believe I need to lie down now.

That is so insanely cool!

If only I could take vacation time in May (that's not allowed where I work)

P.S I like that ring your making. Because there are no tools around in the photos it's like your bending it with your mind. Cool .




Boat=1,000.00 sigh

That $1000 also includes the coolest of cool knitting goody bags -- everyone from this year is talking about all the uber cool things I included.

At some point in the past few months my husband and I were musing about cruises, and I said my choice would be one along the inland passage to Alaska. How cool is this! When I read your post I immediately told him about it. We are considering it, either as a couple (no, he doesn't knit; he just likes ships) or me solo. Woot! (This is what can happen when we no longer have to come up with $$$ every month for college tuition :))
