Knitting Vacation June 8th - 11th:
For this 4 day/4 night knitting cruise we will embark with spinner and knitting guru Bill Huntington of Hope Spinnery, a wind-powered fiber processing mill here in Maine. The focus of this knitting retreat will be on small projects, a sampler cruise. While we won’t focus on specific projects we will be going over and learning new knitting techniques and patterns. Bring along a project you’re already working on or supplies to start a new one with Bill. As part of this cruise you will receive one of his hat kits as a complimentary gift. You can also pre-purchase his yarn on his website and soon in our online ship store.
June 8-11 Knitting vacation w/ Bill Huntington
$696 per person, all inclusive.
Reserve your space on this exciting sailing & knitting adventure.

Knitting Cruise September 3rd – 8th:
This 6 day/6 night September knitting cruise w/Margaret Radcliffe will focus on edges–cast ons, bind offs, borders and finishing techniques. These are details that most knitters take for granted, but they can make the difference between a finished garment you love and one you just can’t stand. Learn cast ons and binds offs for a variety of situations, how to handle edge stitches to make seaming and picking up borders a breeze, and embellishments that turn a homemade garment into haute couture.
We encourage you to bring your unfinished garments (pieces to be seamed, borders to be picked up) to learn and practice on. As always, Margaret will focus on whatever you’re interested in, answering questions, solving problems, and teaching new techniques.
September 3-8; Knitting cruise w/Margaret Radcliffe
$977 per person; all inclusive.
Reserve your space on this exciting knitting adventure.
