We’re thrilled to be cruising again this year with Freeform Fiber Guru Prudence Mapstone.

After the success of our fabulous Bermuda cruise in 2007, we’re heading to Alaska’s Inside Passage July 6-13, 2008 for Freeform Fest 2008. It’s sure to be a memorable ‘working’ vacation for lovers of freeform knitting and crochet, as well as for their friends and family!

Prudence will be conducting workshops in Freeform crochet and knitting techniques, signing copies of her books, and allowing us to examine her exquisite work upclose to inspire our own freeform pieces.

You can be an experienced crocheter or knitter, or have zero knowledge about Freeform – by the time you disembark, Prudence will have you believing in your creative powers!

The Star Princess will be our luxurious home for a week as we meet to learn, share and create our Freeform masterpieces.We will sail from the Port of Seattle on Sunday, July 6, travel up the Inside Passage past Alaska’s awesome glaciers, stop in Ketchikan and Skagway, visit stunning Victoria, B.C., then return to Seattle on Sunday, June 13, 2008.
