Knitting Cruise on the Maine Windjammer J&E Riggin

Knitting Getaway June 10th - 12th: Ellen Rodgers, owner of Purl Diva yarn shop will lead this 3 day knitting cruise. After seeking adventure in Asia and NYC, Ellen returned to Maine to embark on a new adventure - establishing a yarn shop and knitting lounge in Brunswick Maine. She encourages an appreciation for fiber crafts in a way that appeals to both the traditional and the trendy. Her style of guidance on the craft is fun, educational, and inclusive. On this 3 day knitting getaway the focus will be on mittens. Ellen says on her blog she will be "providing guidance on various techniques so participants can return to land with a pair of mittens and some new knitting prowess."
