Back in port...

After a great cruise full of classes and much fiber to covet, I am posting a few pictures here. Some 300 cruisers from all over the U.S. & Canada joined us for lots of knitting and learning.  We had the fabulous Nicki Epstein teaching special classes, along with the ones being taught by myself and the other phenomenal teachers from the Knit & Stitch.  The primaries of Cascade Yarns also joined us on the cruise.

I will be adding two new free patterns from my cruise classes to my Ravelry store, as well as a bag that made its debut on the cruise.

I only took pictures when the on board supply cabinet was quiet, which did not occur too frequently.  The seas were rather rough the first couple of days, and I did not fair as well as on the first cruise two years ago, when we had lovely sailing weather.

So go to my Ravelry store at http://www.ravelry.com/stores/kraziknitz-by-paula to check out the latest additions.

A happy cruiser with her swag bag full of goodies!

Rumba Grande makes its debut at the Cascade Magnum table!

Table of fibery goodness!

Cascade Casablanca with some of my patterns made in that lovely self-striping yarn.

Another table with more fibery goodness!

Cruisin' on a Monday afternoon.....

The Cascade Yarns/Knit & Stitch 2014 Knitting Cruise leaves tomorrow afternoon.  We will be cruising with Nicki Epstein and the folks from Cascade Yarn...lots of classes to teach.. I have some beginning felting classes, as well as one on mitered squares that I will be teaching. 
I will try to take pictures to post here upon my return...so stay tuned.

Knit & Stitch boutique/Cascade Yarn Cruise

I will be going on a cruise with the Knit & Stitch boutique & Cascade Yarns from 11/3-11/7/2014 as part of the on-board teaching staff.  Nicki Epstein will be the main attraction as teachers go, but the rest of us will be offering other classes as part of the cruise package.

Over 300 fiber fiends from across the US and Canada will be joining us, so it has the potential to go stellar.
The first cruise two years ago was a blast, and this one should be no exception.  I probably won't post here until after we get back.  If my camera cooperates, I will try to post a few pictures here.

Wish me luck and bon voyage.

Sorry, things have been so quiet here.

I have not been posting as I should, but a health matter in my family has kept my attention lately.  I also have been preparing for the Cascade Yarns/Knit & Stitch boutique Cruise out of Port Canaveral the first week of November.

We will be cruising to the Bahamas with Nicky Epstein, the Cascade Yarn folks, and 200+ knitters and other fiber fiends.  I will have at least one new free pattern to add to my Ravelry shop when we return, as I am teaching classes and have new patterns for at least one of those.

I will hopefully be back designing and catching up on some backlogged ideas in the coming months.

Sneak peek just for my audience here......

The patterns are almost finished (that's right patterns-as in more than one).....just a couple of pictures for you to ogle until they are published....hope you like them.
