POSTCARD FROM THE GREAT BALLS OF YARN CARIBBEAN KNITTING CRUISE!

We had just shy of 80 lovely ladies join us for this year's Annual Caribbean Cruise aboard the sensational Celebrity Eclipse. Love love love that ship! Mara outdid herself again this year with stellar accomodations and a sunny itinerary to the Western Caribbean where we visited exotic ports of call in the Cayman Islands and Mexico, and Honduras. The group enjoyed two full days of project based classes, a yarn marketplace, fun demonstrations and great camaraderie among other knitting enthusiasts.
Barry wowed the crowd with three awesome classes--a Chanel jacket worked up in three different Trendsetter yarns, a Flamenco shawl which took our breath away, fun with novelty yarns, and also a gelling class where we bleached our final project before dropping the stitches to create a gorgeous stole.
New for this year was our Pajama Party where we took another class on reversible cables then all watched Mama Mia and sang to the hits of ABBA. Can't wait to see you all again soon and please email us pictures and we'll add them here!! xo Robin
