We're cruising the Pacific Coast again!

Join K2TOG on a knitting cruise October 2-8, 2010, leaving from Vancouver BC (Canada) to San Francisco on Norwegian Cruise Lines. We will be stopping in Victoria, BC, Astoria, Oregon, and then have a sea day (lots of time for knitting) before getting to San Francisco. The cruise goes all the way to Los Angeles and you are welcome to continue to the end and fly back from Long Beach or you can get off in San Francisco. The cruise details are available at NCL's website.

Contact our travel agent Deborah Kropp, by phone at 510-527-2800 or email her travelbydeborah @ earthlink.net to reserve your space. Deborah tell you about the current specials!

There will be a $100 fee for each student taking knitting classes and non-knitters are invited to join us and experience the cruise. We will have knitting sessions in the evenings and during our sea day, though there will be plenty of time for other shipboard activities. There are yarn shops in Vancouver, Victoria and Astoria, so we can get off the ship together and explore, or you are welcome to do things on your own.

For more information, please call the shop at 510-526-9276.
