CRAFTY CRUISIN'

Bookmark and Share

Need a knitting escape? Think of it - a whole block of time devoted to cruisin' and knitting. Meeting new knitties, learning new techniques and enjoying a new environment away from your day to day digs. How wonderful is that? I daydream of such things from time to time when life gets hectic and knitting time is on the slim side. I prefer my clothes to be on the slim side and my knit/crochet/craft time to be on the FAT side!

Cost is always a consideration, but if we plan ahead and save our money in that first irregular sock we knitted or crocheted, perhaps it is obtainable afterall. Remember when we were kids saving for the ultimate toy or bike? We eventually got there. Some things are definitely worth waiting for.

To put you in cruise mode - here's a site to help your dreams become knitting reality.

Craft Cruises A list of available craft cruises AND general information.

Land options are also available. Maybe your local yarn shop is interested and you can get a group rate.

Check with a local travel agent and find out more about this crafty way to cruise! Grab your needles, yarn and Knit-Share-Go! (and you thought I was going to say BonVoyage or Ahoy!)

Back from a weekend filled with knitting, crochet, music and fresh air!
While I was perusing
Creative Knitting, I came across an ad for
e-PatternsCentral.com which has all kinds of patterns -knitting, crochet, sewing, crafting - you name it - all in one place.

I also invite you to always support your
Etsy Community for beautiful patterns, supplies, etc offered by very talented artisans. You will be supporting small businesses and the handmade movement. :)
I hope you had a chance to consider THE GRATITUDE KNITTING/CROCHET CHALLENGE!
