We are SO excited to be celebrating TEN YEARS this year!!!!!!!  We are using a local t-shirt printing company to run some shirts with our logo AND Celebrating 10 Years on the arm. We will only run these once and the funds will help us get through the quiet summer season and allow us to buy all the fall yarns we want to stock for the winter!!!! We are also releasing a new shirt that says 'Yes, I really do need all this yarn" and doing another run of "Buying yarn and using yarn are 2 different hobbies" Details about the shirt: The Gildan Softstyle® 64000 redefines casual comfort with a modern unisex cut and ultra-soft materials. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while heathers and sport grey use polyester blends for added durability. Shoulders are reinforced with twill tape, there are no side seams for a smoother fit, and the ribbed-knit collar helps prevent curling. Whether for printing or everyday wear, the Gildan 64000 stands out as a dependable wardrobe staple.

You may have seen our little video on social media of our cruise...but I wanted to share some photos here as well...plus a link to our 2027 cruise!!! This year we had the conference room the WHOLE TIME. This was a nice space that we could escape to. But I noticed this year we kinda missed being out in the ship. So the 2027 cruise will be a nice balance of both! I love food...it's true! I love trying new things, weird combinations or something I would never order if I was spending my hard earned money. I tried a few dishes that just didn't spark joy...but the nice thing is that I could order something else and there was NO risk of going hungry!!! I did eat a LOT of seafood, that is for sure!!! Our first project was a cup carrier and so many people finished theirs!!! Here is Susan posing with hers like it is a fish that she caught!! We did silly things like go to a lumberjack show...it is always a hoot! We visited the Ketchikan Fire Department and purchased t-shirts to help supp...

With Jen away on the crochet cruise to Alaska, Kris and I feel a bit left out and thought you might be feeling that way, too. So Kris and I wanted to bring you a taste of Alaska, with pattern ideas we were inspired by from our trip last year. Last summer was a knitting cruise, so most of the patterns here are for knitting. (Sorry, crocheters) First, we have Memories of Juneau by Melissa Highfill . It’s a free pattern available on Ravelry. It comes from Changing Tides in Juneau using locally hand-dyed yarns in colors inspired by totem poles. Kris loved this pattern and has knit it twice. This shawl is easily customizable using colors that inspire you, and you can even change the number of colors used if you so wish. This is an easy knit using fingering weight yarn. For the most color options, Cascade Heritage would work nice for this. I can see it done in greens and browns for PNW colors, or different shades of blues to mimic the ocean or a favorite lake, etc etc. Kris says this patt...
