14-Day ~ Hawaii Spinning Cruise (March 2011)

Hawaii is paradise and there is no better way to get over your winter blues than on a relaxing cruise around these gorgeous islands. Dye locally produced yarn at the Hawaiian Homegrown Wool Company, learn about the cultivation of vanilla from the Vanilla Orchid at the only farm in the United states producing it. On this cruise you will meet local fiber artists, shop for beautiful yarn, learn new skills and get to know some new friends.

Everyone will enjoy the luxury of the many glorious "at sea" days sailing to and from the islands: scuba diving or snorkel in pristine waters, soaring above waterfalls and through canyons, or just relaxing in a teak deck chair while working on that new project watching the pretty scenery go by.

Knitting in La Jolla

Located in downtown La Jolla near the Hard Rock Cafe, Knitting in La Jolla is a tiny shop overflowing with novelty yarns and hard to find books.  The staff is friendly and the shop is worth a visit if you are in the area.
