    Who would have thought that a pirate cruise in Baltimore’s inner harbor would be fodder for fiber blogging? Well, as we set off to the metro to catch the train to Baltimore, Selma said–oh mom! I need an eye patch! Crochet to the rescue! I can’t remember why there was a skein of black Super Saver in the car, but maybe I put it there just for emergencies like this… It wasn’t long before Selma had an eye patch–she picked up a sword on board, and was ready to go. That’s not the last of the yarn-related events on this trip, stay tuned…

    This is Charlie–he was one of the “real” crew on the Pirate cruise (There was also a Pirate crew who entertained the kids with swashbuckling madness). Charlie saw Johanna and me frantically knitting our samples for our knitting retreat, and was curious. “I could never do that.” A few minutes later, and he was knitting quite adeptly. Great job, Charlie!
