Anyone out there considering the new Debbie Bliss club? Works out to just over $50 for U.S. residents. Debbie Bliss is one of my favorites, but I’m feeling too thrifty to give this a try right now. (Plus, I can’t really picture myself as the beret-wearing type — which is the project kit that’s included with membership.) Still, I’d love to hear about anyone else’s experiences with it.

The knitting lesson went well on Wednesday. Robin is well on her way to a garter stitch scarf. She appears to have my same overly-tight knitting tendencies — but that’ll probably work itself out as we go along.

Here’s some cool news that has me VERY excited: We’re going on another cruise in May with my former college roommate and her husband!! Our plan really was to do something different for our next big trip (we went on a similar cruise for our honeymoon less than two years ago) — BUT I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go along with Joni and Paul.

Joni and I went on a cruise together right after college as sort of a mutual dare, and we’ve always said that it would be cool to go again as couples one day. Especially given that we live many states apart and there’s a toddler to factor in, it’s not easy to get the timing right for a shared vacation — so this is it! We’ll be on the Carnival Valor — a gigantic brand-new ship — going to the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.

I’ll be packing my knitting needles, of course… so if you’d like to join me for a knitalong at sea, come on board!
