From Katherine Jane in New York City:
We have a lot of exciting things in the pipeline this year, with several new audiobooks coming out in the next few months. One of those will be Arctic Knits by Donna Druchnas, which is set to be released later this spring. The book tells the story of Donna’s trip to Alaska to research the history and use of quiviut, otherwise known as the most deliciously soft and warm musk ox down, and also tells stories of and from the Yup’ik and Inupiat women that she encountered. It’s just lovely.
At the moment, though, Donna is doing a blog tour promoting her Alaska knitting cruise. She is co-hosting this cruise with the fabulous Lucy Neatby. And oh my goodness, doesn't the sound of that just fill you with joy? Donna and Lucy, a beautiful ship filled with knitters, cruising through the gorgeous landscape of Alaska, knitting all day in like-minded company, and taking knitting classes and going to knitting mixers… and there are apparently non-knitting activities as well, so you can even bring along your non-knitting friends (i.e., those you haven’t managed to convert yet) and they’ll have something to keep them busy while you are knitting. By the pool. On your way from one beautiful location to the next. While someone else takes care of the food and dishes.
If that isn’t a description of Heaven, then I don’t know what is.

Wow, a knitting cruise sounds like heaven - gorgeous scenery, knitting and chatting with like-minded people....and the opportunity for some amazing photos.
Can't wait for this to come out! I'm in a permanent lace craze! And the cruise, well...
I had a wonderful time recording Arctic Lace with Donna, and I am excited, too, about the audiobook. I haven't met Donna, but I met Lucy Neatby at the Sock Summit last August in Oregon. They'll be great teachers on this cruise! I have friends who have done a non-knitting Alaska cruise and the landscape is spectacular.
knitting is really wonderful, i love to spend my time snitting gloves, dress, or wherever i can do. I really love it because i feel relax when i am doing this activity.That is why i liked this blog very much. I think i reached what i was looking for.

I consider this blog very interesting, most of all because i would like to lean kniting, i think is a good activity that i can practice in my free time. In fact now i will have a lot of free time for me, because i will get a house throw costa rica homes for sale and i really liked the style that i chose.
I get very exciting when talking about Knitting because my grandma likes that and she wants to be informed all the time, but other than seeking that on the web I buy some Generic Viagra on line.
