The summer of fun

Filed under: Life in general — Cyndi at 7:04 am on Monday, June 5, 2006

No posting for nearly two weeks means no knitting has been done in nearly two weeks. And I hate to go on too much about non-knitting, non-sewing stuff on here. But, I’ll at least show you why there has been no craftiness around here lately…

Oh yeah! It’s a boat! OUR boat! A few years old, but with low hours and in great condition.
We took it out for first time yesterday.

I’ve got a lot to learn when it comes to boating. First and foremost, I need to figure out how to go out on the water for a day without getting sunburned (ouch!) - not an easy task, since I’m allergic to most sunscreens. Then, there’s the problem of knitting while boating. Can it be done? Should it be done? I certainly hope so!

Very nice boat. I definitely think you’re going to have to figure out how to boat and knit at the same time. How’s the shawl coming?

Very cool boat! Sounds like you’ve been having a blast (well, except for the sunburn part).

OH be very careful, we bought a boat once. Now we own 5!

Seriously 5 boats.

It’s a bit insane. They are all very old boats, and one is a fishing boat, and one is a sailboat. One boat is in pieces.

It’s almost as addicting as yarn.

I’d stick to knitting in cotton and other non-wool things on the boat - you wouldn’t want to felt things on the needles!
